I think memetically 'optimized' kids (and adults?) might be an interesting alternative to explore. That is, more scalable and better education for the 'consequentialists' (I have no clue how to teach people that are not 'consequentialist', hopefully someone else can teach those) may get human thought-enhancement results earlier, and available to more people. There has been some work in this space and some successes, but I think that in general, the "memetics experts" and the "education experts" haven't been cooperating properly as much as they should. I think it would seem dignified to me to try bridging this gap. If this is indeed dignified, then that would be good, because I'm currently in the early stages of a project trying to bridge this gap.
