Dont worry, when the
singularity hits all this will change: every new generation will be smarter, stronger, and infernally more ambitious. Every likes and dislikes, personal tastes and size of every cell in your body will be pre-cooked/pre-programmed in a testtube. There will be no beta males/fat chicks. Everybody will be hot as fuck and super intelligent and getting more so.
Every parent will want their children to inherit the latest in gene modifications to make them the best there is. Competition will be fierce. Nothing will be left to chance/nature.
It will be
GATTACA world.
Then, phase 2 will happen:
in vivo gene modification of fully grown adults.(in contrast to
ex vivo or
in vitro gene mods).
IRT will be able to go to a doctor and have his skin tone, eye colour, and height changed to white and tall on the genetic level.. Even the size of his instrument if needs be. hehehe.
Various augmentation technology to further enhances human biological capabilities will be du jour. Everything will be pushed to it utmost limits...no aging, no cancer, no sickness...IQ of +1000 points, incredible reflexes, super senses, super-regeneration/healing, pre-cognition using abstruse statistical derivations to prevent crime, etc, this list goes on. Perfect symbiosis.
Personally, i think we've reached the apex of our natural biological evolution...IT IS TIME FOR SELF-DIRECTED EVOLUTION. It is time for eugenics.
P.S. this is why i am generally wary of sociological projections(american decline, etc) that doesnt factor in the shockwave effect of advent technologies. Technology is a game changer.

Why do young people feel such a powerful need to share everything?
Dumb fucker.

Now I am happy she did it because she did commit a crime. But seriously, why are they so fucking dumb?
I remember watching a news clip about how a college professor in Florida figured out that a bunch of his students cheated on his test and he offered them an option to resolve the matter. So the a dumb fucking kid gets interviewed and he says something along the lines of "It isn't a big deal, everyone does it." You want a future employer to see that? Dumb fucking assholes. This is why there should be tests to have kids.
It is ok to be dumb - it isn't a crime, I get it. But don't go hurting people. You wanna sit around and piss away your life fine. But hurting someone and then not owning it, I don't have the words.
Side note: Then the rednecks complain about all these immigrants coming to take jobs. We import brains because our students focus on useless degrees.
RANT OFF
