Having kids the natural way will soon become something that only poor people do. Thanks to AI, it is becoming easier to identify genetic markers associated with all sorts of undesirable traits, including shortness, mental illness, low IQ, propensity for disease/depression, etc. And, once identified, those genes can be selectively excluded from your future kids. If you have the money. In the near-future, if you aren't pre-screening and pre-selecting the genetics of your kids, your kids will be dumb retards compared to kids whose parents DO use screening services. It's something to keep in mind. Many wealthy individuals are actually delaying kids for a few years on this basis alone. They know that 'active selection' will make a HUGE difference, and it will come quickly, creating a stark division between 'selected' kids and unselected ones.
>>545472426They need to do way instain mother> who kill thier babbys, becuse these babby cant fright back? It was on the news this mroing a mother in ar who had kill her three kids, they are taking the three babby back to new york too lady to rest. my pary are with the father who lost his chrilden ; i am truley sorry for your lots
>>545473988How is babby form??
>>545472426I doubt this will make any difference, nepo babies are notoriously retarded
>>545474720'Regression to the mean' can be avoided by genetic selection. And it goes far, far beyond that. Naysaying is just cope. Your future kids will not be able to 'compete' in any way with selected kids, especially as more polygenic traits are mapped out.
>>545474867I'll believe it when I see it, right now it's just an ad
>>545472426Welcome to the movie "Gattaca"--not a great future.
Being depressed = not content with the state of modernity that makes everyone suffer. It's just eugenics to create more stupid and compliant people.
>>545472426>change the system so people get less depressedNope>change genetics so people get less depressed (safe and effective)Yes>muh you did not read it right, its just selectionDoes not matter.
>>545472426Wayne is already existing in the Future, he is there waiting for the rest of us to catch up.
>>545472426>If you have the money.I work in germline editing in an Israeli-run lab>btw Indians have been placing preorders for European features in their babies for years"If you have the money"By 2040 or so, that's literally penniesThe price of genetic engineering has dropped by several orders of magnitude since CRISPR launched and I don't think people understand the scale of how transformative (and probably dangerous) this will beIn my circle we joke about how gene-modded humans will be common enough to be pogromed as witches in Africa
>>545476071Wasn't the point of that film, that the non-engineered guy possessed some indomitable spirit that the genetically engineered drones didn't have?
imagine how many humans will get killed because of this guys shitty technology that doesn’t even work properly
>>545477835It was pure cope. I would actually say that the message of Gattaca was subversive.>Don't worry about technology, goy! Just be yourself!Horrible strategy in real-life.
>>545474867Generally the attitude among the ratboys actually doing this is that anyone who even has kids that are gene-modded are probably naturalists anyway. It could also be a backup plan in case something goes wrong and you want specially modified humans to inherit the Earth (Tolkien Earth then?)Any genetic modification can be outdone by raw technology. It's the parents who build a little superintelligent AI baby or go full transhumanist who will actually win out.>>545475651>>545476071Science fiction loves "rich hoards cool stuff, poor gets nothing"Real life is much lamer, "rich hoards best stuff, poor gets the cheaper version"Some of the Israeli types are trying to undo this with computer tech but it might not work out so wellThe future is going to be millions of Africans and idiotic Indians getting genetic modifications for intelligence and penis size not understanding that you can't simply edit a single trait like intelligence, especially if you lack education infrastructure to exploit it (third smartest man I've met was a black man who was raised by white parents, pure volcel autistic weirdo, I know it's possible for that sort to do better, but the overwhelming majority never will)Mark my words, you will hear stories of Africans getting themselves modified and the result are abominations with big heads and bigger dicks that have exceptional neuroplasty that causes them to somehow get even dumber when raised in severely African conditions, only for social media rumors to cause the villages to think they're cursed and burn them alive in mass pogromsAnd the most "rich people" gene modding matters is that some heiresses look late teens for longer and have bioluminescent blonde hairIt's not going to be as cool as the movies make it out to be.
>>545477984Ok. Problem I see with the genetically engineering is that you are taking the wildcard out of the deck. The current reproductive method produces genetic freaks that are outside of engineered outcomes. These people may max out on some characteristics and then have deficits in others. But the areas that they excel can have profound benefits for the whole of humanity. Can an engineer (who is just an average human) create a superhuman like Nikola Tesla? Would they even try and create another Tesla? Because what parent would want their child to end up like Tesla?
>>545472426So basically gataka the movie
coolwith this tech we can aryanize brownoids
>>545478478The chance of a kid becoming a historical genius is probably somewhat worse than 1 out of a billion. The chance of a kid becoming some kind of retard or psycho due to natural genetic recombination is something like 1 out of 450 to 500. Nobody with money will accept the latter odds in hope of attaining the former.
retarded
