If you consider intelligence in terms of IQ tests, they're pretty smart. If you consider it in terms of optimizing power, the ability to shape the future to their goals, a quadriplegic low-IQ human with a eyeblink controlled typing screen obliterates them. I would consider them pre-people at most, ripe for uplift.


I wonder how brain-computer interfaces and neuroprosthetics might change this in the upcoming years.

Seaquest was right!
