Rizen, I had the same idea when I was a young adult. There are two problems with voting power tied to intelligence.
One is that society belongs to everyone, not just to those on the right side of the Bell curve.
The second is that what constitutes intelligence is nebulous. IQ only tests a specific type of problem-solving ability and even that is difficult to measure. MENSA is indeed one of the organizations with a legitimate IQ test. But IQ says nothing about creativity, empathy or ability to think outside the box. Are you familiar with Dr. Ben Carson? Look him up. He's a neurosurgeon and a particularly good one at that. And he's a fucking nut job.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
