I have a simple answer for what the intellectual level can do - Teach! We spend a lot of time in high school on many different subjects - almost none on two of the most important and intertwined life skills - child-rearing and marriage - that are the most central to human existence.
Intelligence and luck both have a lot to do with success in these all-important endeavors, but I'm betting that education would help a lot. Likewise, understanding the levels structure helps us make more rational weighings of the wisdom of hooking up with a particular partner. When I got married the first time, I hadn't read ZAMM or Lila yet and that marriage was a disaster. When I met Lu, I had a firm grasp of the MoQ and that marriage has been a success. Correlation or causation? That's the tricky thing about empiricism, it gives us facts, but WE must give the meaning.
