@Blebleh Please stop spamming. The grown ups are talking.

Genetic research is a literal meme.

You can create a few homunculi, but that's probably about half of what you'll end up with

the real manipulation is in proteins, that's the closest control surface we ought to touch

simple because genes are not _read only_

You're getting in the game of muh human nature for capitalism

ive _BEEN_ in it

when primitive communism and socialism itself worked

manipulating human nature for fun and profit

thats how i know this shit

whatever you did it doesn't matter, it works

@OF-8 That's fantastic but stating your credentials over and over is just wasting space.

true

given

i dont have a marxist badge so i feel unfrockd

its fine

Let's start with really basic practices, like screening unborn cattle for disease, and selective breeding for traits in livestock. Next, genetically modified foods, another common practice. Next, animal cloning and IVF, not really high success rate but successes are successes. Are these things not what you would call progress in genetic research?

Not with regard to the need for humans to trade objects of value, fuck no.

OK, there are two parts here. Modifying humans over time with education and breeding, and outright changing the genome.

In the later, what are the main problems with genetic research which prevents experimentation with editting?

we can try all that uncertain shit, or flood the place with kebab cattle.

there's lots of experimentation, but the problem comes when the genes are passed to subsequent generations _if_ they make it that far.

the second generation of a GMO human has retarded high cancer rates

It seems like you are saying, 'it's just too hard don't even try'. But why not try? Why is it impossible to progress?

its not that it's too hard, but that we'll wreck the bloodlines of those that tru

So?

this will progress through a second pass at proteomics and some of thsoe things created legit super soldiers

it's foolish to try now, as a matter of personal caution, but if you care nothing for the divinity of man, then go right ahead

So humans can be changed, with selective breeding, or radical experimentation. Why is man sacred?

That's a philosophical question that marx will talk you out of as I answer it.

Seek elsewhere for that question.

I am not a dogmatist. Try me.

Really you are saying man's urge is sacred.

Not that it cannot be changed.

^ this. Yes

In the purely phenomenological sense, the nature or urge of man is a compulsion from an unknowably complex and long running process.

Yes we, through this divine urge, change the nature of man, but in doing so we break the link with divinity.

It is my opinion that this divinity is a wiser entity than you.

Or I. Or we.

Or the worker.

This is a regressive perspective. It doesn't matter if the process is better than anything we can imagine. What matters is that this may not be true forever. Why shouldn't we start now on our path for future mastery? Why are you motived to hamstring yourself, when you do not know all possible outcomes? This is anti-intellectual and Luddite tier.
