InvisiMan2006 Yet world is far better place than it was before technology. People are more free, have human rights ect. History is against you, so far mankind has become better thanks to technology.

InvisiMan2006 It's better overall, and that is a fact. Also people who are so retarded that they would use that technology for damage aren't even capable of creating it nor managing to get funds to use it in the first place. This technology is literally solution to remove idiots like them and make sure that we wont' have people who would misuse anything. " Imagine if a biotech corporation held the rights to your child's DNA because they genetically modified some genetic disorder out of them." That is copyright issue, not issue of technology.

Mr Ferario Super soldier would be super smart. Hence it would mean that they wouldn't do anything stupid. Aka what is the problem?

Mr Ferario I did already explain my point. You repeating yourself and living in caveman science fiction won't make you right nor strong on this argument. Man of higher intelligence can choose to harm someone, but if they do. They do it for very good reasons. They aren't idiots who just go on murderous rampage like low IQ criminals that already do that. Yes excessive violence and criminal activity is actually correlating with low IQ. "osed to anything that is viewed as different. We have always had racial discrimination, religious discrimination and even discrimination of the handicapped." Those were far more severe hundred years back than now. Thanks for better living conditions and scientific progress mankind is literally kinder that it used to be. "Now tell me, if you happen to create 1000 humans with supreme intelligence and maybe even other gifts, can you guarantee that not one of them could have a desire or the willingness to commit evil for their own benefit? " I can easily guarantee. Since intelligent people know that race doesn't matter, and that nationalism is stupid. Most problems of this planet is caused by people literally being too fucking stupid to think. "And if nothing else, wouldn't society view these 1000 individuals as non-humans because they are different from themselves?" Depends on society.

Mr Ferario Usually the person who resorts calling someone stubborn first is the one who is denying the fact. " You really think that Intelligence can only bread kindness?" Mostly yes, most intelligent people of the planet are known from being kind. They do it for knowing how world works, not because feelings say so. "It's like saying that all scientists were great humanitarians, and none of them ever did anything bad in their life! " Not all scientists are intelligent. "Not to mention that "intelligence" is a subjective thing an 'I.Q.' tests aren't an accurate measurement of how "Smart" you are. " Actually it's objective. Intelligence tests exactly the thing that people expect smart people being capable of. Aka having good deduction skills and problem solving capabilities. And that is exactly what IQ tests tests. "Yes, They do it for very good reasons alright, even if those reasons would only benefit themselves. Or perhaps its for the "greater good" which they are the center of." Seems like you're not supporters of greater good and most likely don't even understand the concept. First of all killing someone in order to have money or power for example can have serious consequence beyond acquiring those. Not to mention intelligent people know that power and money means nothing in the end game, hence they are less selfish. "The smart ones know enough to know how to kill people without getting caught. " Literally ignored my point. Seems like you're not capable of thinking abstracts. Smart people know that commiting crimes have more cons than pros. They know that it doesn't serve anyone in the long term, and puts them under unnecessary risk. "Their are already a lot of smart people who were caught in their crimes, or whose crimes we know about today." And all of them are known to suffer mental illness. While stupid people commit crime only due being too fucking stupid. "As you said, society is a lot "kinder" today because we aren't as lacking for provisions as we were before." IT helps but it's not the only reason and I think you ignored the other reasons on purpose simply to serve your own belief. " That doesn't mean that the people of today aren't capable of being evil, its just that their isn't much need for violence these days. People can still be mean in other ways. And frankly, people are just too lazy to actively be mean if they don't have to. They need some sort of agenda first." I never claimed that people are perfect now. I simply claimed that technology so far has made us become better people and will do that in future. Especially if we do genetic modifications on people to fix inherent natural issues.
