I haven't unpacked the value/bias for myself yet, and I'm pretty sure at least part of it is inconsistent with my other values.

I'm not necessarily morally opposed to artificial (i.e. drugs or cybernetic) intelligence OR diligence enhancements. But I would be disappointed if turned out that humanity NEEDED such enhancements in order to fix its own problems.

I believe that diligence is something that can be taught, without changing anything fundamental about human nature.
