    I think that once it’s viable it would be ok to release a virus which genetically modifies all humans to be more empathetic and to think more critically.

    It would be a violation of bodily autonomy, which I generally do believe in, but I think it’s necessary for the productive and positive future of humanity on the single planet which we currently inhabit.

    (Yes definitions of intelligence vary, and epigenetics and nurture play a role, but we’re talking statistics and a statistical improvement is still an improvement)

      If you haven’t already, check out Upgrade, by Blake Crouch. Good book, similar premise.

      considering that viruses mutate, this would be the most horrible thing to ever befall humanity….
