Well this is disappointing. I was thinking you were pretty keen for a while. So, basically, humans are limited in cognitive capacities based on our "upload speeds". Augmenting this is essentially inevitable and that's mainly because we can only innovate our external environment so much. Eventually, cognitive enhancements will be commonplace. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Well, was inventing vehicles a good or a bad thing? As far as I can tell, traffic accidents have seriously high death metrics. But I think you're smart enough to realize that just seeing detriments of this kind of tech isn't a sensible position to take. In the same way that smartphones are surveillance devices and therefore toxic to our mentality (like our dopamine cycle), but also extremely helpful because we have an extended human memory repository and the ability to quickly communicate with people (which is a serious achievement with what life was like fifty years ago in mind), cognitive alterations can't possible be solely a bad thing. Don't get me wrong, something could easily turn out to have negative implications, but if humans always limited themselves when it came to innovation based on how wrong things could go, we'd hardly ever make any kind of advancement.

Now, after having done some groundwork to dispel this kind of egregiously ignorant premise, let me remind you that humans didn't evolve from fucking monkeys (well... not all of us). This is evidenced by RH- bloodtypes, where the evolutionary traits exhibiting a link between primate and man is absent. Humans have been "altered" before. This is nothing new to our species.

So, to conclude, there's no reason to jump to conclusions. Does the outlook seem good if we're all still bogged down by a corrupt regime who's holding most of us hostage, pouting that they're losing control and breaking all the toys on their way out as a result of their tantrum? Well of course. But does it have to go that way just because that's how thinks seem like they might end up right now, when many people are demoralized? I'm not sure those kind of assumptions make a lot of sense.
