>our next generations will be immune to diseases, have a base IQ of 120, have perfect body fat distribution and of course, customization of features. >w-what about me??? Il be obsolete???
This is why society can never get flung into the feature, there’s always this thought of older gens who want to hold on to everything and more.
It never gets flung into the future because the future, by and large, is a pipe dream in most cases
I can easily believe that we'll have bases on the Moon and people on Mars given recent advances in rocket reusability greatly reducing costs, and we'll probably have thorium reactors chugging along by the 2040s, but don't get your hopes up for interstellar travel, fusion power and extensive genetic engineering
Anything that requires a major breakthrough that hasn't come yet is likely to be bunk
This is backwards thinking. We've only had advanced tech for less than 100 years and you think we've discovered almost everything there is to know. We've only just started.
I recently saw people talking about eugenics, and they immediately called it evil, racist, and then referenced nazis. The dumbest shit ever, because humans need eugenics badly. How many people aren’t born with something like deafness, blindness, bad eyesight, headaches/migraines, a history of cancer, allergies, a weak immune system, a history of dementia, or other physical ailments. We have people randomly getting together, and editing genes based on nothing, they just bang without any care for their offspring. So the editing is happening, but with no forethought, or good intentions. People fear the idea of healthier children due to propaganda against something that would be good for all future generations. It’s insane to me.

Gattaca was a fine movie, but my main takeaway was "God genetic engineering seems cool", and I can't help but feel they're going to use a series as a soapbox to say "Crispr bad" the same way most movies involving AI or robots nowadays denounce the idea
The world misunderstand how malleable how genetic code is, exercising, dieting, studying, taking medicines, it all affects it, I have a huge bias because is my job but before attaching any computer to ourselves we should fix our genetic code.
I think lots of people would not like what our body inherently find to be a flaw, like being uncomfortable with your sexuality, or making it so the body can properly process alcohol, meaning you could not get drunk anymore, some would think that because it could fix paranoia that means the process is a brainwashing meant to make you malleable.
Most modern media is so bad it is violently fricking insulting to the audience. I'm convinced it is intentional to demoralize people while dumbing them down.
Keeping most of the population stupid is most certainly optimal. It’s the only way society can continue to function and one of the main reasons why we need religion.
Ideally it would allow society as a whole to flourish, there'd still be a middle class of people who don't want high power positions and probably a lower class of people who are fine living at maintenance levels. You'd hope that pride isn't a genetic trait that comes packaged with everything else, otherwise you get the Eugenics Wars from Star Trek
But that's kind of the point the film makes. What happens when a new technology is developed? It's expensive. So who can buy it? Rich people. And who's likely to already be rich? Sociopaths capable of inflicting both individual and general misery in pursuit of wealth, status, and power. And what qualities will they value in their children and the new society those children will create...
The reason all these shortcuts to "fixing" humanity are dangerous is that the people deciding what needs to be "fixed" are usually the ones making life shit for everyone else in the first place. The whole fricking point of Star Trek was that you don't fix society by "fixing" people, you fix society by meeting everyone's basic needs free at the point of use and allow individuals to flourish to whatever extent they desire/are capable of, without shame and judgement.
that's not what it will be used for though.
you think the global elite are privileged now thanks to money and connections, wait until they are all 8 feet tall with denser bones and muscles than us normies all cause daddy paid a few million for the AAA super designer baby plan.
Not sure about the 8 feet, some might but other might engineer for maximum efficiency, being compact, super healthy with hyper-efficient digestion, reduced addictive traits, becoming GigaChangs insted of Gigachads.
If this was real the rich would make it illegal and do it privately in a small foreign country or island. Instead of a Cayman Islands or Switzerland to hide your money there would be a place where they all go to genetically engineer their children. If it's not exclusive there's no point in it
Oh it's prohibitively expensive and the first gen edits will naturally be considered inferior and work like lunatics and take huge risk/do absolutely anything asked of them to make their parents sacrifice pay off, making them useful tools.
"Oh so sad about the embezzlements and forged signatures, but they can't help it, bad genes can only be fixed so much in a single generation"
>I designed my son to be 6'5 uber chad who is filled with testosterone >no history of mental illness >oh wait, he wants to cut his dick off and wear dresses
Great. More things that I like that are going to get ruined because people just can’t fricking leave things well enough alone we just have to rape everything previous idea because new ones are too difficult or they’re derivative.
>are we hyped
Are you being a cheeky little reddittor you frick? b***h?? No I'm not hyped about another good movie getting some dog shit tv series that will be cancelled after one season.
Why cant we have genetic engineers and "designer babies" and clones and shit in REAL LIFE isntead of just tv shows? why do real life scientists suck so bad? All 60s/70s/80s and 90s science fiction is really giving me blue balls for a future world we never got.
They already tried a similar plot with incorporated and that went nowhere. No body gives a shit about intelligent narrative. It won't last one season just the same and it probably will be just another laundering scheme.
It's gonna be about a black person beating the system of systemic fascism & helping an offgrid/underground commune of other dispossessed people. It will feature a troony b***hing about chromosomes
>writes unadulterated original kino in your path >get an Opera composer to do the score for your debut film

huh?
My first thought exactly. imagine choosing to not be white. Goes laughably beyond the suspension of disbelief
this
instead of like real life with everybody picking aryan babies it will be goofy Black person shit propaganda

You will never see a moon base.
You will never see humans on another planet.
You waste your time with idle daydreaming like this.
You don't even know what Starship is or what the N1 was
Imagine the logistical problems of a moon colony or base. It's a meme
white like the riddler
turn on the TV in late 2025 and you will literally be able to watch a livestream from the moon

Well uncle Adolf kind of gave it a bad rep. It's a shame, really. We can't keep nurturing the weak forever.

Why remake it, it's perfect.

Yes. And that's the problem. Modern Hollywood must destroy all virtue and beauty.

Same question as for the other 100 perfect things Hollywood remade.

I forget the acronym definition, but it means everyone who isn't white or east asian.

No, Whites are not included as indigenous even when the term is used in their homelands.
>WHITE
>RACE
>BAD
How are they gonna explain xx and xy?
science bad
Why? It's barely even a cult classic. I mean, it's a fantastic movie but it has literally no pulling power.
They WILL screw this up. Underground non gen-edited rebels. More fascist undertones regarding edited vs non-edited.
Gattaca was a fine movie, but my main takeaway was "God genetic engineering seems cool", and I can't help but feel they're going to use a series as a soapbox to say "Crispr bad" the same way most movies involving AI or robots nowadays denounce the idea

woooow what a moronic movie

Most modern media is so bad it is violently fricking insulting to the audience. I'm convinced it is intentional to demoralize people while dumbing them down.
>in the story they have the opportunity to create a human beeing with perfect genetics
>he is balck
What did they mean by this.
>CURING ALL GENETIC DISEASES BAD
>MAKING MORE INTELLIGENT, BEAUTIFUL BABIES EVIL
why?
How will society function when everyone is a striving butthole with a high IQ? Will everyone live in a mansion and be an executive?
so keeping people dumb is optimal, you think?
you can be pretty happy without striving to be a rich CEO. look at all those penurious academics.
Keeping most of the population stupid is most certainly optimal. It’s the only way society can continue to function and one of the main reasons why we need religion.
That wouldn't make everyone the same, people would still develope different tastes.
Ideally it would allow society as a whole to flourish, there'd still be a middle class of people who don't want high power positions and probably a lower class of people who are fine living at maintenance levels.

Only for the rich, the poor parents will have to take out loans to buy their children better genes to get jobs.
If this was real the rich would make it illegal and do it privately in a small foreign country or island. Instead of a Cayman Islands or Switzerland to hide your money there would be a place where they all go to genetically engineer their children. If it's not exclusive there's no point in it

Finally, a israeli athlete. Imagine blacks losing one of the few things they can do well.
Great. More things that I like that are going to get ruined because people just can’t fricking leave things well enough alone we just have to rape everything previous idea because new ones are too difficult or they’re derivative.
It's all so tiresome.
>are we hyped

>modern production
>"hyped"
Of course not homosexual.
The original was great but I doubt a modern tv series will do it any justice. It’ll just be about racism.
Genetic engineering is just selective breeding by other means.
If society didn't bend to the ugly and insecure we could all be gigachads with supermodel girlfriends by now. The future looks attractive.
Would
If she’s down, I’m down
I'd give her some "extra chromosomes" if you catch my drift.
Why cant we have genetic engineers and "designer babies" and clones and shit in REAL LIFE isntead of just tv shows? why do real life scientists suck so bad? All 60s/70s/80s and 90s science fiction is really giving me blue balls for a future world we never got.
>Why cant we have genetic engineers and "designer babies" and clones and shit in REAL LIFE isntead of just tv shows?
Because BIPOCs would go extinct and we can't have that honey.
Great film, woke-infected series.
They already tried a similar plot with incorporated and that went nowhere. No body gives a shit about intelligent narrative. It won't last one season just the same and it probably will be just another laundering scheme.
There are no writers talented enough anymore to execute this as a TV show
That hasn't stopped them yet.
Everyone will be black
It's gonna be about a black person beating the system of systemic fascism & helping an offgrid/underground commune of other dispossessed people. It will feature a troony b***hing about chromosomes
Ugly women and handsome young boys, can't wait.

Good thing the reboot will be so absurdly predictable that I don't have to bother watching it.

are there any tv series based on movies that are good (or even popular)
