Must know terms for today's intelligentsia

At the dawn of European humanism, Florentines believed that reading Dante while ignoring science was ridiculous. Similarly, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo both recognized the great importance of understanding science, technology and engineering.

Despite these trail-blazers, not much has changed since then; a startling number of so-called 'intellectuals' remain grossly ignorant of pending technologies and the revealing sciences (the postmodernists immediately come to mind). Today's intelligentsia, in order to qualify for such a designation, must have the requisite vocabulary with which to address valid social concerns and effectively assess the future.

Here is a list of must-know terms (there are many, many more, but these are IMO the most critical and fundamental):

accelerating change

artificial general intelligence

augmented reality

automation

cosmological eschatology

existential risks

Fermi Paradox

friendly AI

human enhancement

human exceptionalism (aka human racism)

information theoretic death

memetic engineering

mind transfer (aka 'uploading')

molecular assembler

engineered negligible senescence

non-anthropocentric personhood

neural interface device

open source

participatory panopticon

political globalization

post-scarcity economy

postbiological organism

posthuman

quantum computation

radical Luddism

remedial ecology

self-improving and autopotent intelligence

self-replicating device

substrate chauvinism

Simulation Argument

Singularity

superintelligence

ubiquitous surveillance

uplift

virtual reality

Please let me know if you feel I have left something out, or if you believe something does not belong on this list. For example, I wanted to mention advanced weapons, but that seems awfully vague. In particular, I'm thinking of autonomous robotic soldiers, neuro-weapons, advanced non-lethal weapons, and non-human decision making on the battlefield. Also, I would have liked to mention something about how consciousness is still a hard problem in science, but I'm not sure how I could encapsulate that in a simple term.
