        Just kidding, with the rise of A.I., super-intelligence will be a useless trait. I'm going to engineer my kids to be great at writing viral tweets.

        You can’t genetically engineer guile or wit, you can only foment it. Also, fuck that unless we’re talking about helping with genetic-related diseases, designer baby shit is unethical.

        But that seems petty, and extreme. Just get a Japanese perm, and have smooth hair forever

        Why not just genetically engineer my kid to have Japanese-style hair so they can get any hairstyle they want from competent Japanese stylists?

        It’s pretty unlikely that in the near or even in a century we will understand the genetic components of intelligence well enough to use CRISPR to smarten up our kids. We can’t even treat genetic diseases that we know are caused by a single defective protein yet (Huntington’s),

        I wonder what the correlation is with that 19% and the top 19% of the population by wealth. This is going to be one of the major issues of the 21st century other than AI.
