Yeah you’re grouping together all suffering as giving life meaning where frankly I disagree

@Sam Anderson wait is there something bad about blonde hair blue eyes genes if there's too many of them?

I’ve worked with lots of people with developmental disabilities. If the topic didn’t seem so sensitive I’d love to have this convo with them and their families

@MrBland - VA The one each person here made up lol

Suffering from diseases isn’t giving life meaning imo

We can suffer by trying to colonize the galaxy

@TylerHess have you seen modernity?

Is it a religious basis, or a "benefit to humanity" kind of subjective morality...

If I get a disease like Alzheimer’s I’m killing myself because that’s not living in struggle that’s just suffering for the sake of suffering

i insist its not about morality but the implications for all humans especially europeans if we have the ability to do it

@VinceChaos the exception proves the rule, the inferior are self destructing

If had kids I would totally give them blonde hair and blue eyes lol

@MrBland - VA Well, two uncontroversial exmaples of soft eugenics would be state-enforced monogamy and a state prohibition on incest, whereas a historical (and inadvisable) form of hard eugenics was forced sterilization.

@Jacob its basic genetics. A lack of sufficient genetic diversity brought about by for example some company with CRISPer exploiting a fad for blonde hair and blue eyes could yes. It would create effects similar to inbreeding.

@Jacob brown hair brown eye gang

Y’all wish you had Caesar’s looks

😏

A hole I'm the chest?

Not a look I want

I am for eugenics as a principle though I think gene editing can get pretty dicey

Agreed.

If I believed we could do gene editing with only good readily a id be all for it

Why we need thicc regulations on those boys

But we just don't understand the cascade effect one edit can have.

^

Which is why we shouldn’t edit at all

You could make the parallel to many things.

@missliterallywho I think meaning can and should be derived through accomplishment and fufillment not necessarily suffering.
I've worked with people with disabilities before and they suffer a lot more than people realize, to the point where it interferes with their ability to pursue meaning in life.

This whole conversation is why I long for the electric grid to go down lol

Such as the nuclear bomb

@Gibson At this point I agree

<:really:453005408064241674>

@Virgil I resent these anti-Buddhist remarks

But I'm for experimenting on animals I think...

Transhumanism big gay rt

Really haven't thought deeply about it...

If we experiment on His creatures who really are the animals?

@missliterallywho I want space travel so I can find a planet that doesn’t have steam power 😎

Pagang stands eternally opposed to the Jüden science that is gene editing

@Kingfish I support your dreams king

Thanks kween
