Will CRISPR be the “saving grace” needed to artificially raise a person’s IQ level?

I have always been fascinated with using biotech in order to improve someone’s appearance, intellect, etc. I believe that with further development of CRISPR technology, we can be able to edit/revise a person’s mRNA in order for them to be more intelligent. Think about it- no more struggling through life and people who no longer have to strive to be a garbage man at best because they are too intellectually stunted to do anything else.

I’m also looking into whether CRISPR can make someone taller, more athletic, etc. My goal in life is to become the pinnacle of human perfection and to achieve a massive amount of wealth. I think CRISPR is the starting point of that journey.
