One of the reasons technology moves so fast is that fewer men are becoming priests. A person with a higher IQ usually makes the best decision for his long-term well being. No one is rewarded more than a faithful priest who spends eternity high in Heaven.
In the recent past, social pressures have let fewer men become priests. More very intelligent men with very high IQs end up being focused on earthly concerns. Many of them prefer freer structures and gravitate to business. The worldly people who encourage men to not become priests simply create a higher level of competitors for themselves.
Their higher IQs and better ethics help them rise. They quickly understand that, in a competitive world, those companies with the newest products and processes do well. As social pressures push more men move into business instead of the priesthood, lots more smarter people are developing far more productive systems than would otherwise be brought into being. As a result, more applecarts are upset. If more men became priests, there would be less turmoil.
The priesthood is the highest call. Earthly concerns may be respectable, but cannot rank as high. As society begins to understand that, we will see a return of more intelligent men to the priesthood, and the world will become a more peaceful, less disrupted place.
If more men became priests, there would be less turmoil.
