Maybe the future is genetically engineered humans.

 Maybe the future is genetically engineered humans. 


An imprisoned researcher who genetically modified babies believes that genetically manipulated humans are the future. When we think about genetic engineering and our genomes, we can ask why genetic engineers are not removing things like diabetes, Alzheimer and AIDS away by using genetic engineering. In the same way, somebody can ask why we don't give gene therapy for CP-handicapped and other kinds of people who have an error in their chromosomes. 

Some people say that this kind of gene therapy is against morals or ethics, but in the same way, we can ask if the lives of those people are so nice that we should not fix their genomes.  Why cannot we think of things like hereditary diseases as one disease like some virus infection or something like that? The fact is this the world is full of people who have money to take gene therapy. Gene therapy can improve IQ. 

And that kind of therapy gives many more abilities. The human intelligence is like many other types of intelligence. It creates systems that are more or less intelligent. So intelligence creates other intelligence. And that's why people are interested in things like AI. Genetic engineering can increase people's IQ. 



IQ is only one of the things that makes people productive. That productive thinking makes us create machines and other things to dominate the world. And that's why our nervous system and brains are the promising objects for genetic engineering. Genetic engineering makes it possible that people will get immune resistance against some viruses. And then that virus can turn into the ultimate weapon. 

The ability to interconnect species makes it possible. Humans will get better senses, stronger muscles or faster reactions, and faster renewing tissues. The ability to transform the DNA allows us to remove cancer from our species. Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world. Sharks have no cancer and that thing makes those animals interesting. 

Same way sharks have electric senses, and humans have similar senses. That allows us to read other people's thoughts. All senses and abilities that species have without depending on species coded in the DNA, and what would you make with the ability to read thoughts or muscles that make you as strong as a gorilla or anaconda? 

In the same way, some reptilians are immune to the strongest neural poison, botulinum. That means nerve agents like VX do not affect cobras. 

Innovation requires full knowledge of the system that a person wants to use. The other things that the innovation requires are the ability and willingness to model the system. And that is a problem in innovations. People must have the ability to make new things. And they must dare to share their ideas. 

When we manipulate our brains we make things that will change the world. Brains are the creators of the systems and machines that allow humans to dominate the world. 

The human brain should be the user of the AI. That means humans should be the part who gives orders. And the AI should be the thing that follows those orders. But sometimes we are facing people who let machines think for them. AI will not turn master in our society if we do not give that position to it.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
