    I used to be super in favor of genetic modification - transhumanism sounds so cool - but it should never be a thing under capitalism, and probably not even under socialism while we’re still working out societal traumas.

    Same. The Transhumanist Lib to Radical Lefty pipeline is real. Somehow I played the Deus Ex games and only came away with "Oooh designer prosthetics pretty" for the longest time... I even wanted to work in prosthetics in some capacity, any capacity, until I realized only the wealthy could afford technology I thought would be egalitarian...

    It ain't Vietnamese kids with blown-off legs from landmines getting new robot replacements, it's Don Jr. looking to impress his daddy for a minute.
