The Masters of our own evolution
Welcome back friends to another exciting adventure in the brain of Wilibald "Fluffy" Danderfluff.
Today story is Evolution, and what the hell it has to do with us today.
A hundred years ago we started a revolution that would change the face of the planet. No not the Industrial, that was a few more years back even more. I'm talking about the Medical Revolution. My definition is this: How to fuck up Darwin, and his ideas about survival of the fittest. Hundred years ago or so, you get sick, fever, mumps, athlete's foot, then you die. Meh it happens thats life. Nowadays hell were walking away from cancer and other life threatening virus thanks to medical miracles. Is it really a miracle that over 6 billion people can live in relative health and live to rape the planet? But again thats not this article...
What do I mean by we are the masters of our own Evolution? I mean this: We now and in the future can control what we will be. Some of it will be on purpose, others will be because our reliance of technology and medicine. Right now whats going to kill us and you can see it already in the generation born in the 2000s, our immune system. Our reliance on medicine to cure us from everything from a cold, to cancer is making us weak. Disinfectants, and anti-bacterial soap used when we are young weaken our immune system when we get older and how we in turn pass on to our children. We may have medicine to back that up, but what happens when we can't fix something with medicine? Our immune system has already given up it can't keep up because it never built up resiliences to even the most basic diseases. So in turn we will be our own downfall one day. But thats just the medicine part of this discussion. Which may or may not happen, we'll know sooner or latter.
The other part of this discussion is about gene therapy and how the mapping of human dna will lead to a faster more efficient evolution of mankind. Someday some doc will ask two people how they want their baby, crispy or original recipe. And their gonna say "Colonel, give me extra crispy with a side of mashed potatoes." And little Johnny is going to be 6'2'', able to jump 6 feet in the air, and have an IQ of 210. This of course leads too all sort of interesting things (Gattaca for instance) but I'm not talking about consequences I'm talking about how its going to happen.
Darwin be damned we will pick our next phase of evolution, not our environment. But the question I ask you sweet reader of a misinformed nut, what would you want if you were little Johnny?
