Do we really want an eternal future of artificial scarcity and top-down enforced cultural norms determined by who had first mover advantage in a narrow section of the economy for a certain period of time in the 21st century? Are we seriously doing this?
We are headed towards a picture of heaven that is run by Facebook and Google in which God is not the most intelligent or "best" but simply those of sufficient (admittedly large) intelligence who were in the right place in the right time. And that is not a God worth worshiping.

I invoke the ethos of the defiant theist in a simulationist and accelerationist context.

I don't think human worth is equivalent to financial worth, or that it's proportional to intelligence, but I do think certain important things require a modicum of intelligence to do. So I don't support rule of the intelligent, but intelligence is still important for rulership.
