We have gene therapies, we have surgeries, we have so many things and we are improving them at the direction of capital.

2019-07-04 14:56:43 UTC  

what biological procedures are you talking about ?

2019-07-04 14:56:57 UTC  

I already said this many of times TL DR

2019-07-04 14:57:07 UTC  

it means to long did not read

2019-07-04 14:57:08 UTC  

That we supposedly cannot change these things is purely to do with our present incompetence.

2019-07-04 14:57:21 UTC  

>tl;dr

2019-07-04 14:57:46 UTC  

So assume no one reads it , shouldnt be to hard for you. that when you write more then 2 paragraphs

2019-07-04 14:58:05 UTC  

You cant change the biological potential of a being

2019-07-04 14:58:17 UTC  

Not even with prosthetics?

2019-07-04 14:58:21 UTC  

Or *vitamins*?

2019-07-04 14:58:28 UTC  

**Or gene therapy?**

2019-07-04 14:58:33 UTC  

You mean plugging a cpu in some ones head

2019-07-04 14:58:49 UTC  

gene therapy? increasing intelect

2019-07-04 14:58:51 UTC  

Not just that. I mean total modification of the human body.

2019-07-04 14:59:21 UTC  

This is something you don't want because you cannot conceive of the fact that we alone are responsible for ourselves.

2019-07-04 14:59:30 UTC  

In practice, you worship 'nature' as a god.

2019-07-04 14:59:37 UTC  

You don't want it to get touched.

2019-07-04 14:59:47 UTC  

What dont you understand about "the BIOLOGICAL potential"

2019-07-04 14:59:54 UTC  

You say that it cannot be done without, when we are already relying upon that for *capitalism*.

2019-07-04 15:00:04 UTC  

'biological potential'

2019-07-04 15:00:08 UTC  

Something which we can modify.

2019-07-04 15:00:10 UTC  

if you turn some one in to a cyborg it isnt biological any more is it Mr Nuance

2019-07-04 15:00:24 UTC  

So you're admitting that we're not stuck with our biologies?

2019-07-04 15:00:42 UTC  

We are as there is no cpu yyou can plug in to make yourself smarter

2019-07-04 15:01:01 UTC  

Really? Then why are most IQ tests based on computational abilities?

2019-07-04 15:01:15 UTC  

Why is any notion of general intelligence based on this?

2019-07-04 15:01:18 UTC  

And i dont see how a prostetic arm will increase your skil or production rates

2019-07-04 15:01:27 UTC  

Not even if it moves faster than a natural one?

2019-07-04 15:01:59 UTC  

So you are suggesting to chop ppls arms of and replacing it with a robot arm to make them better workers ?

2019-07-04 15:02:19 UTC  

why dont you just build a robot for production instead of commiting that brutal act

2019-07-04 15:02:22 UTC  

Not that in particular, but the use of robotics will become very preferable.

2019-07-04 15:02:40 UTC  

'brutal'

2019-07-04 15:02:47 UTC  

You assume that this is what I want...

2019-07-04 15:02:53 UTC  

You cant increase the biological potential of a being

2019-07-04 15:02:57 UTC  

...and you assume that it would be considered brutal.

2019-07-04 15:03:13 UTC  

You cant make pl smarter then their gentic potential.

2019-07-04 15:03:32 UTC  

To reach the gentic potentials limit you need good food education and such .

2019-07-04 15:03:37 UTC  

But even if that was true, it's possible to *change their genes*.

2019-07-04 15:03:48 UTC  

Epigenetics, for starters.

2019-07-04 15:03:55 UTC  

so your argument of this is void considering reaching the potential includes this

2019-07-04 15:03:59 UTC  

And then CRISPR-Cas9 can be refined as a technology.
