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

You could convince me with a strong religious bible based argument. I am all for objective morality.

@missliterallywho when the grid goes down I'll send a passenger pigeon wishing you luck
