The transhumanist threshold

The transhumanist threshold is the degree of particular personal traits which, if a person exceeds them, causes said person to modify the genes of one's
offspring, which in turn amplifies those traits in the future generations at a much higher rate than does natural selection.
Said traits are intelligence and conscientiousness.
The degree of intelligence required is higher than that of the eugenic threshold, due to the technological requirements of genetic modification.
