Bill Gates Warns of Cheating By Scientist Currently Gene Editing People

It will be a brave new world

We'll still need ditchdiggers

Enjoy athletics and other sports now while you can, because this might be the last generation of anything remotely 'natural' about the talent on display.

Not that I'm against gene editing and transhumanism at all, I'm passionately in favor of it, but sport is not going to survive in its current form for more than a couple of decades.

We already have perfect running genes. We are still learning how to use them.

Bill Gates, btw, is a total ____wit. Instead of pouring his billions into the basket case of Africa, hoping they are going to magically become like the Swiss or the Chinese, why not promote technologies like gene editing so that everybody in the world can have an IQ of Einstein or the entrepreneurial drive of Elon Musk? We could probably cure poverty completely, create a world of economic abundance and start colonizing other solar systems within our lifetimes (oh, btw, with gene editing everybody could live to be 1,000 years in perfect health and in young elite athletic bodies).

Yeah you told him.

“Alright, Doc, let’s raise my VO2 max to 500”

Or people in power that could afford it would use it to increase their power and rule over the commoners like yourself.

By using gene splicing can I have male children who identify as female so as to demolish all female sporting records?

Also there have been no “natural “ athletes since the East Germans developed steroids for Olympic competition.

Maybe this will be more like the beginning stages of plastic surgery, where people thought you could look young forever, but the reality is that you look f'd up forever.

For Jamin's kids after all!

I played golf with Bill Gates once in Canada, in Jasper National Park. He had the entire golf course reserved for security reasons, and I was staying there with my family and somehow I walked right through his security into the clubhouse, as a single, and while the staff was telling me I couldn't play today, he waved them off and invited me to play. That's all I'm allowed to say under the nondisclosure agreement I signed. He was very pleasant and engaging.

Synthetic testosterone was developed in the 30s before there was a east Germany. US Olympic weight lifters started juicing in the 50s. So yeah . . .

While all the interest in advancing humanity is addressed to the physical aspect, the effort to rid the world of egregious selfishness, greed, racism, tribalism, egoism, wastefulness fails to make much progress. The best of gene editing would curb the behavior of people like Trump, Putin, Assad, etc.

East Germans are not the folks who first developed steroids for the Olympics.

The cheating is indeed very bad now, though. Political Correctness rules the day, hence E. Africans, Cubans, and other select peoples are allowed to cheat for the most part, or at least avoid testing most of the year, while horrible first world peoples like Americans or Japanese are ruthlessly tested year round.

So you think it is OK to have individuals that are part human and part what-exactly? And I presume you mean more than the bacteria in our guts.

I can’t believe you guys!

Although the human race is stepping forward with new biological technologies and such; do you really believe they hold the knowledge to develop lab super babies/humans? DNA is made from Introns and Exons. While Exons code for genes which thereby create protein in polypeptide synthesis; introns are rather misunderstood and make up a much larger section of DNA. Scientists still are mystified by what these introns are for! Changing DNA could lead to so many different things that could fu#k humans up in different ways we don’t yet understand. It could also drag the world down politically and possibly lead to human extinction.

After all scientists still can’t prove and identify the genes responsible for the dominance of the East Africans. We still have no idea, these guys are crazy!

Unless someone on here is a true expert,

Don’t even begin to think you know what your talking about because you really don’t.

My first post was the briefest overview I could come up with.

Transhumanism means simply 'going beyond human limitations'. It was coined long before all this transsexual and transrace nonsense became part of political orthodoxy.

If gene editing enabled hereditary diseases to be a thing of the past, that would be transhumanism. It wouldn't involve adding bits of snake or bits of elephant into the body.

If gene editing enabled us to raise the average IQ by a couple of points, that would be transhumanism.

We share something like 99% of our genes with chimpanzees. I think we share something like over half our genes with rats. Parts of our brains that control much of our behaviour (the limbic system) are the relic of when our genetic ancestors were closely related to the dinosaurs.

Transhumanism would enable us to become more human and less animal. It's also inevitable. Good luck on the USA competing with China when the average Chinese IQ is 170.

Of course nobody is suggesting that it should be compulsory. If people want to remain as monkeys, it's up to them.

I believe they have been identified as the EPO and HGH genes respectively.
