Very possible in the early stages. Given time we can probably improve. The only way to know is to experiment.

I don’t think that we can produce a Homelander. We could have people that start producing designer babies. With enough time and low regard for collateral damage, we could have people designed to be highly intelligent. We could have children

Does China have a useful blue water navy? Besides South America could organize and easily defeat the Chinese ships.

You can make your own Uber. There is nothing stopping people from doing that. Lyft and Uber are all powered by VC money. There is nothing stopping a communalist approach to software and profit distribution.

Can you prove that conscious is an emergent property of the bio-chemical brain? If you can, there is a sweet noble waiting for you. Otherwise it’s speculation on your part.

This is an avoidable danger. If you want to have sex, pick a faithful partner. There is little reason to put oneself in harms way for STI. Especially as we’re seeing an increase in antibiotic resistant strains.

Statistically 1/4 heterosexuals have some form of an STI. They can be even higher depending on what you read. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3575167/ STI in transsexuals is even higher. Som

How about no one should eat the same food group all the time? I get news from here (leftist), reddit (averaged to moderate when all my subs are taken into consideration), Google News (more leftist than not), and 9GAG/Imgur when they po

Counter hypothesis: handwriting is like free weights in that different areas of your brain are engaged at once. As a result there are more pathways created or augmented than when typing. There’s similar benefit and issues too. Typing is fas

There is also evidence that the Spanish Flu was made worse by a magic new drug of the time: aspirin. Sadly we dosed people far beyond safe. We made them internally bleed to death. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/

The big players also had the benefit of having themselves declared necessary for life while small companies that sold the same items were declared nonessential. This results in Walmart making money while mom and pop stores go out of busines

The Swedish model was exacerbated for the same reason the NYC was. You can’t put old people with the disease in lock down with other old people. You’ll quickly kill them.

How about garbage? We pay about $100 a month for water, sewer, and garbage. We get biweekly pickups and large trash hauled for free once a month. They even take fridges no question.
