Ah, so my doubt was correct, you're dissatisfied ! Even when I assume good faith and try to lay out the points as best I can, to give my best shot at justifying my argument like you asked, they're suddenly all "red-herrings&

I suspect my prior points in isolation would miraculously become easily-understood and agreeable short-hand if they were oriented to the approved resolutions, but in the name of good faith, I will try to point to what should be pretty clear

I could see that. For a nominal fee they'd put retirement age Millenials and Zoomers into states as close to "brains in a jar" as they can manage. Then they'd cultivate their consciousnesses in a rage-cycle hell for prof

It reminds me of the "Tenryuubito" from One Piece, elites who put their heads in bubbles to breathe only their own air because they are too good to breath the same air as the common folk, but its kind of the inverse. They'd l

Man, there's glowies everywhere these days. Reminds me of the accounts of frogs who end up being chemically gifted to sprout genital-bouquets down there due to human activity.

Yes, I do think so. There are plenty of ways we could make selfish decisions about here we live. I also think where a person lives is also highly personal and private and should not be subject to the decisions or judgments of others. Many p

Eugenics was part of a first utopian thought wave for an optimized, managed populace, which fell out of fashion due to the events of WW2. It is being woven back into the political conversation in the name of medical security.

Some genes will be considered a security risk or a health hazard for one reason or another, and CRISPR will be available as a tool for modification. In 10, 20, 30 years people who don't want to be treated may have to settle for a limit

Willful misinterpretation is precisely what any self-preserving legalistic person or system will do. In a situation like this, they'll choose B, because if they don't, they are choosing to lose in the face of an inconvenient truth
