To clarify, Jared's intelligence is not exactly the standard kind. Sure yeah, he's designed a lot of machines as well as the fact that he runs a massive company spanning half of the planet, but his ability to see the future is where his intelligence lies. He knows what is important, what is true, and what really "matters," rather than piddling about in experimentation, and even if a situation would not turn out in his favor, he would still go through with it as he knows that deviating from the timeline too much can be a fatal mistake that could likely destroy everything you know and love, given the massive amount of time-clones he has from other timelines to back up this ideal.
