Paraphrasing Slate Star Codex from memory: I don't want it because then everyone will be pressured to take the most invasive "improvements" they can get, or risk being outcompeted, and then after the whale fall we'll still be miserable, but also with brain bugs.
rbanffy•1h ago
For that to work, we need to evolve past competition and remove the fear of being outcompeted.
lazide•1h ago
which makes no sense on it’s face, as as evolution (and nature itself) is fundamentally competitive. you might as well say we should ‘compile ourselves past compilers’.

modify, not "improve", perhaps speciate, perhaps become like insects with physicly different specialised castes, perhaps fail to understand the complecity and end up unable to outperform natural selection, but most definitly the game is on and the game is open ended, and the technology is fairly strait forward ,useing tools that do not require the ulra high precision and refinement of elecro/mechanical technologys, so containment and control of bio/genetic technology will be impossible. the main constraint on unhinged out of control developments is that iterating will remain slow, and require carefull planing and methodical implimentation over generational time spans, but costs will be low, and any sufficiently motivated small group/company/country can join the"fun", which is another point, this will be more "art" that science, as there is no equivalent to other types of engineering, so cloning will be atractive, but will present serious problems if large numbers of cloned indivuals are attempted. I leave out ethics and morality and refer anyone to the blank stare response that will be given by the types of people who are, right now, giving, while they go about realising there ideal society.

Did we invent public education?

Ha, no, just a rant against outdated regulations that are annoying to tech bro billionaire on a mission from God that He met during an acid trip (or was it burning man?)

Not sure if from 1998, or satyre?
