Kid, hate to break it to ya, but have you looked at all the studies about nootropics?
There are “veerrrryy few” done in normal healthy adults. Their actual effects, are very contradictory, and not that great. Sure, there are a few glowing reports about it....but there are also a great deal of “this is bunk”
Even those studies done in rats and the elderly have few solid and stable results. They are often different for each study.
As a good rule, anything that works is either illegal or prescription, or there is a movement to make it illegal(like salvia) Why? Because, stuff that works, the word gets around quickly. Quickly enough, that worried parents and politicians with ambition find out about it too.
If any decent percentage of this singularity stuff pans out, any plans greater than 20 years are bunk.
Hell, within the next 6-15 years, the price for models will plummet. Why?
Because, computer graphics are getting so good and cheap, that simply creating a model that looks beautiful, will be easier and cheaper just using the computer.
Reading, and contemplating all of these technology trends really changed thought process of what constitutes a solid job.
But, some advice I would give, is perhaps try and double major in computer science and electrical engineering. Go to a good grad school after college(since as he dropped out of HS, the only decent college he can get in to, is one that has a guaranteed acceptance program by sat scores), then work from there.
Solid, but boring.
