In the future the opposite sex will not only judge us on look and wealth but also on genetic material. We're leaving DNA traces everywhere. Once the DNA samplers become small enough it's just a matter of time before an "app" that does that exists. Welcome to the future :)
- klipt 13y agoLooks are basically a proxy for genetic material.
- xerophtye 13y agoI think there was some anime where that actually happened :P cliques were based on genes! The coolest girl had the best DNA! Oh and another girl was showing off her speed, so the popular girl remarked "Speed is a dominant trait of lower mammals." imagine being judged for having common genetic traits...
- dexen 13y agoI believe it was `Geneshaft' [0], by Bandai. It mixes mecha with social dynamics of genetics and gender disparity. [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneshaft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneshaft
- xerophtye 13y agoyep that's the one!! we had an anime channel (animax) on our cable briefly. So saw the first episode of this show back then. (Got introduced to ranma 1/2 and inuyasha as well!)
- paganel 13y ago> We're leaving DNA traces everywhere. There's a scene from the movie Gattaca where Ethan Hawke is cleaning everything from his desk and keyboard in order not to leave any "DNA traces". First saw that film 10+ years ago but it has always stuck with me.

- ianstallings 13y agoNo different from a potential mate checking your credit before they decide if you "qualify". Not my cup of tea, but whatever. To each his own. Even if his own is batshit crazy.
