I wish the nerds would use their intelligence to research how humans will biologically evolve

I wish the nerds would use their intelligence to research how humans will biologically evolve toward higher species, perhaps all the way to supermaterial Godhood, rather than centering on less controversially creating artificial intelligence greater than our own, or even the middle way of brain-computer interface.

It is suicide to allow AI to control humans, at best AI should never be more than an aid to humans.

The problem here may be related to the old schoolyard problem, with nerds being bullied, etc, and usually missing the kind of courage and skill required to go against political correctness, which is needed in advocating and planning genetic advancement, rather than the less controversial artificial intelligence.

Then there are those who may not be driven so much by a revenge of the nerds but rather want to deceive and advance themselves via advancing artificial intelligence and stopping others from biologically advancing. Cynical yes, but not untypical.
