I hardly think that's a consensus view

True, but if it were a consensus it would already be reflected in financial market prices.

In the generational lead time it takes to develop genetic engineering for intelligence, we'll have the tools (medical nanotechnology) to do the same in any human.

Possibly, but this would give us even more economic growth.
