You're not taking one big thing into account.

We’re not going to turn into some Star Trek type society, one thing ignored by almost all science fiction (because it’s hard to write and potentially boring) is intelligence amplification. And humanity at this point basically needs to say hey, mr superintelligent AI, can you give us one of those chips? Or hey, can you upload our consciousnesses into an inorganic body or a mainframe. And so on. Certainly, some people will remain as they are now. But the vast majority will be nothing short of gods compared to current humans. There won’t be any interest in money, sex, eating, or arguably basically anything you’re interested in now. You’re so smart that your goals are likely entirely unpredictable. Not to mention that you may have one superintelligent AI made chip in your brain, but the AI will have trillions or even quadrillions while running on nuclear fusion or some form of energy not yet conceptualized. So humanity has no place at that point for being scientists certainly either because highly augmented or not you’re still an amoeba compared to the AI. Perhaps we’ll become explorers of some sort, but it won’t be like Star Trek because, again, augmented humans will have significantly different goals and interests.
