  1. This morning I an idea that I thought you'd all have an interesting perspective on. It was inspired by misreading the title of an article. Imagine a world where there are people who are genetically modified in respect to having specific genetic qualities selected through an artificial process. In this world there are regular people like all of us and then there are these superior people who are more efficient in every respect from intelligence to good looks and health. How would that make you feel about your own identity? Would you accept your inferiority or would you resent it because the advantage these genetically modified people have over you is a product of artificiality? If these people, through genetic modification naturally had better odds of selecting their desired partner and having success in general would you feel that your strong but unmodified genetic expression (the qualities that compose your organism) was being dominated in a way that severely threatened your ability to thrive? If these modified super humans found regular humans unattractive because of incomparable qualities and naturally the superior humans became segregated from the regular organic humans would the superior humans not have a more prosperous society while we continued to wrestle with the randomness of our own predisposed potential? Would regular humans not feel resentful toward the 'perfect' humans? Would you feel differently if their superiority was due to some kind of external technological fusion like a micro chip that would affect gene expression? A kind of technology that in other words is something that can be removed and that requires human labour post birth to implement. Looking forward to your thoughts! <3
