Considered it too. I just pray to VALIS that there'll be a steep enough curve of diminishing returns associated with intelligence amplification - so that even if the technocratic elite desperately wants to maintain supremacy, it can't just throw exponentially more resources at "boutique" small-scale enhancement and maintain the gap with "mass-enhanced" humans.
I suspect there are unknown unknowns in the scenario. The masses are more likely to have open source research. I think the elite is more likely to screw itself up with a bad ideology, but that might be mere wishful thinking.
