Are you aware of Star Trek lore? Tech billionaires will make their Khan.
Funny thing is that this kind of stuff is considered haram by the CCP who are fanatically dedicated to social order.
- solenoid0937 1y agoTech billionaires might ironically be our only hope here as they are the only ones willing to ignore the bureaucratic red tape. If a tech billionaire edits an embryo and figures out how to make a human immune to a certain disease or live a better life, that is a win for the rest of us. And before anyone says "they'd just keep it for themselves" - there has been no medical technology in human history that hasn't become generally available after a couple decades.
- userulluipeste 1y agoI'd love to share your expressed hope of billionaires' beneficial impact on society, but alas, the behavior that I see in nowadays' crop leaves much to be desired. To be a bit more clear, I don't necessarily see the incentives that drive the wealthy individuals to align with others' hope.
