how important is it to think?

Handicapping gifted people would make the society oppressive and unethical

freedom and critical thinking would be erased but at the same time enhancing with a biotechnological  technique would be just as distructive.

On the one hand society could experience an enormous progress in many different fields, such as medicine, engineering or economy and some people could accede to several possibilities normally reserved to the gifted people.

On the other hand it is unethical because some people would be given extraordinary abilities that other people should work much harder to achieve.

if by handicapping people their freedom to think is reduced the same goes with people whose abilities are enhanced. Also if in a world where all people are handicapped everyone tends to be comprehensive with each other and empathic, a society in which people have enhanced abilities harsh competition and selfishness would spread instead.
