I truly doubt limits on such tech would be respected by all peoples for all time. It's bound to be abused/overused by someone eventually (China)
@Jacob I was talking about that tweet that @Sam Anderson re-posted on here (of the feminist "boss battle").
They'll have super humans while we're arguing about the morality of it lol
>being against designer babies
do you even want a catgirl waifu?
I suspect it will be their downfall too, lol.
I’m gonna be cyborg from the DC comics.
This is what I’ve learned
Hopefully they have late term editing
So we can cure gills of autism
@ChippedStones Still taking your daily vaccs to max the avtism? Its a crucial step
Gene editing could be really helpful for colonizing other planets since we could modify our people to be better adapted to their environment and particularly gravity
I sent a tweet to Neil Degrassi Tyson today
@Bjorn - MD oh he already answered the question
@Papa Pizzagate interesting point, how do you see such a scenario backfiring?
About autism
Watch the JF vid bro
Yeah I'm gonna have to go with this being an overall good thing if done properly and with caution
I'm sceptical of gene editing. Too many uncharted waters.
Can we remove certain physical limitations? Muscle mass, height, weight, bone density? What about things like pain receptors?
Can we remove or edit things that have a negative effect on the human condition - keep ourselves more focused and higher achieving? What about removing empathy? Or certain inclinations of free will?
Is the end result even human?
@bspon002 what better a destiny for man but to see every uncharted water mapped
We're more likely & closer to having a worldwide technological collapse than we are to colonizing other planets
Yeah, I'm generally opposed. I certainly don't think we should *initiate* it, but if we have to do a little bit just to stay competitive... 🤷
@Papa Pizzagate You can already remove emotions by cutting certain parts of the brain
We've got like 5 billion years before the sun implodes I'm sure we're gonna get there
Gonna gene edit my kids to be smaller so we can have gnome villages
I also don’t see anything wrong with making traits which are already well represented in our population even more popular, such as strength and objective reasoning. Also if we tone down this super gay pathological altruism it would lessen the risk of our people becoming soft and repeating history
@ChippedStones hell yeah
@Kingfish personally I think it'd be far safer just to let people reproduce and have kids wihh stronger people if possible. Messing with genomes could backfire hard
Can we start Identity Grandmas Garden?
Look guys. Gene editing is like identity politics. Once one group does it, you need to do it or you're screwed.
@ChippedStones I'm in
I think we already have meddled with evolution so much we've drastically affected it. Might as well direct in ourselves now
Good point Jacob
Gene-editing our kids to have brutally unyielding in-group preference <:usinnoodle:420778112226164736>
@Jacob not sure about that. What if gene editing leads to long term consequences like the lack of fertility
Ah yes gene editing
What could possibly go wrong
We cant really adapt to anything but modern civilization anymore so we might end up needing to do it anyway
@MrDefault <:really:453005408064241674>
Edit genes enough, you're no longer white but some new race
gene-editing + advances in AI = bad time for humans
