One could argue that a problem would the type of people who would have access/interest in such a thing. Seems like it would largely be restricted to the (relatively) rich and tech savvy at first, and could precipitate a trend in these people no longer reproducing and passing down the genetics which may have played a role in the success that engendered their ability to acquire or use, not to mention develop, these products in the first place.
- mdorazio 7y agoDid you really just claim that success is genetic?
- deogeo 7y agoDid you really just pretend you think it's not? Given the ample data demonstrating the link between genes and IQ and health (both of which affect 'success', however defined), I'd like to see you back up your implied claim.
- commandlinefan 7y agoWell, it sure seems to be hereditary...
- epicide 7y ago> Seems like it would largely be restricted to the (relatively) rich and tech savvy Yep, that's a problem. > these people no longer reproducing and passing down the genetics which may have played a role in the success Nope, that's not it. Having money has very very little to do with genetics. Sure, you might have some genetic predisposition to being more ambitious, but how many people are ambitious, smart, and driven... but are still incredibly poor because they grew up in the wrong neighborhood or with the "wrong" color skin? Even if you don't take it that far, the best way to get money is to inherit it. Having money is very cyclical: if you have it, it's easy to get more of it, and if you don't have it, it's easy to get less of it.
