You just described the exact solution to you own problem. Categorise anything to whacky as “wizardry” and just move on.

Humanity has spent hundreds of thousands of years not understanding the nature of reality, we seem to have managed just fine so far.

All of this stuff has the potential to actually come knocking. You can't just ignore commonplace robots and eugenics, and trying to steel yourself for it is a fulltime job.

It’s very strange to use robotics and eugenics in the same context, “robotics” is a technology, “eugenics” is an ideology that is pretty much universally considered to be unethical.

The idea that eugenics will become commonplace is pretty much nonsense.
