In a tweet, what’s a specific future technology you’re excited about? Why? (Ex: end of genetic disease, robotic housekeepers, nuclear powered water desalination, holidays on Olympus Mons, AR assistants to memory, modular housing, walkable cities that run on sunshine, …)

I'm *super* excited about genetically modified humans. Looking forward to people who are not only healthier, more cognitively flexible and more physically capable, but also happier and more altruistic
I think it's a genuine possibility that human beings will solve some of our worst, seemingly-intractable cooperation problems as a result of modifying ourselves away from our species baseline on tribalism/aggression

Very optimistic interpretation... if the tech is created, you don't think it would be used for the opposite purpose (more aggressive/tribal humans)? Great way to preserve your tribe is by making them hyper-competitive/loyal/aggressive.

This is the scariest thing I have ever heard. Trying to take away what makes us unique.
