Mind Enhancement Drugs, Robotics, And Embedded Chips - Long term Students Considered

At our think tank we often look at the future and its ramifications. We have been about to change the normal advancement of our species, rendering it better for the world we live, our technologically advanced work and the worlds we may stay in the future - off world civilizations in room, other planets and moons. It's inevitable, but is it right to do? Why don't talk.

One fellow thinker wrote a note to me about this topic and states; "I understand your views on humans and our frailty and some weakness when i ponder the question of are we ready to determine direction in areas such as boosting our IQ, Robotic work forces, Utopian values, medical advancement to the point of eliminating "dysfunctional" genetics or any altering of our genetic makeup, and so on... "

Good points to ponder indeed and I actually guess the real problem in all of this is that adversity builds character, Noocube and the human being mind and will can overcome all, those who fight on against the odds have the most character. I assume the movie Gatica best demonstrates point. I've never been beaten by anyone who didn't have a huge edge, nor anyone equal to me. But I've crushed most all of them. Why? You don't have to be better - Will - Strength of Character are so much higher.

We should be teaching will of the mind, strength of character, wisdom, reasoning, thinking, imagination. Those would be the great equalizers. IQ is merely ONE element, don't get me incorrect it's one of the most important, but I'd trade it for Will, if I got to choose, thankfully, I don't. Perfection is over rated. I don't want ever tree of every species to look the same, all the branches arriving out in the same place, such as a giant Mathematica Fractal. I don't want all people to check the same, the uniqueness, should be celebrated, good results . all that said higher IQ would be an advantage, even if there will always be weak people.

My fellow thinker also discusses another challenge, those of know-it-all technocrats who will not admit that prediction and decision making in intricate chaotic systems usually finishes in disaster and he states; "
I question a world society for making decisions such as these while we still are strife with war, slavery, discrimination, my way or the highway mentality, and so forth... "

To that We would reply; good and you should because Freedom and Liberty and choice are the best way to run human society. Despite, exactly what is told by those who feel that elite right to choose for everyone else. Adam Smith would acknowledge. If a World Society agrees to freedom and liberty that would enhance the lives of billions of humans - great, however, somehow, I don't see that playing out very well, considering those who'd be running things would have absolute power, we know very well what happens next.
