RE: Self-governance and self-control: Re-chipping the mind
I think it is an interesting thought experiment to consider the various elements of ourselves that hold us back. Some people make very large assumption about the way things ought to be without ever really considering alternative positions available. They also tend to identify with aspects of learned social programming as parts of themselves that can't change.
It would be interesting to see what is actually part of our psychology and what can be shifted.
We have entered the domain of transhumanism fraught with peril and opportunities like nothing else.
yes, @lucylin mentioned it too. It is going to make a mess of things most likely so it would be better of we got our shit together without it.
It seems somewhat inevitable because there are countries like China that are willing disregard any notions of bioethics to get an edge.
I think research would be similar in all powerful countries for that reason. Sports doping taken to the extreme levels of secrecy.
I agree. National security giving a free pass to nearly anything.
