(OP here again)

PS, please don't let this thread degenerate into a debate about IQ, heritable intelligence, or differences across populations.

1. IQ (g-score) is the single strongest statistical measure to come out of the social sciences, and correlates with academic and financial success. The various s-scores are not sufficient substitutes for the classical IQ / analytic reasoning test (YET).

2. Intelligence is determined mostly by genetics, and is heritable. Intelligence is more heritable than whether you are left-handed or right-handed.

3. Yes, average IQ distributions vary nation-to-nation, and race-to-race.

4. NO, INTELLIGENCE IS NOT THE DETERMINING FACTOR IN THE VALUE OF A HUMAN ENTITY. THE HUMAN ANIMAL AND HIS MIGHTY SPIRIT IS TOO VAST TO BE QUANTIFIED. INTELLIGENCE IS NOT THE MOST NOBLE TRAIT.

Please, and thank you. Love you all very much, hope you're having a wonderful day. Can't wait to read your posts.

It'll probably become practical within 50-100 years or so, excluding any social stigma, or political red tape, also:

>live past 100
>change my eyes from blue to green (my gran's eyes were green, and I loved her)

I think your dick size is mostly determined by prenatal testosterone, sorry my dude.

It'll likely cost near a million dollars by the time it gets practical, so yeah... you better be rich, or get btfo'd

Yeah great thread OP well done.

I would make it so I no longer have to poop. I think pooping is disgusting. Humans of the future won't have to poop and will look down upon us who have to poop more than we look down on Indians who shit on the streets and eat their own crap.

Vape nicotine, look it up, Higher chance of cardiovascular problems but better neuro health

Funnily enough, it might actually be easier to edit an adult human's genome than a zygote. We recently discovered that human zygotes have a protective mechanism that counteracts the attempts to use CRISPR Cas9. I'm more skeptical of this technology, and I doubt we'll achieve this Gattaca wet-dream for a few centuries. It's a pipe-dream that we won't live to see.

>>9104421
None of OP's three points on intelligence are controversial, they're all commonly understood to be the case. I don't think he was trying to silence dissent about IQ, I think he just wants the focus to remain on the topic.

>>9104385

I'll be destroying the means soon so it's not in the offing, OP. The means of destroying the means are already in place.

Why not just chew nicotine gum, or take a nicotine patch? I do it during tests, and last I checked gum chewing doesn't fuck with your lungs.

>>9104447
last I studied this vaping was like 1/1000th as bad as smoking. Mostly high regulation for tax purposes but all the actual scientific studies came back with nothing when you vaped with proper equipment and liquid.

>>9104453
Not saying it's 100% healthy, but when I checked, again not going to dive back into the studies right now, vaping nicotine was basically safe aside from nicotine itself. Smoking it is where most of the lungs shit came from.

From that it was a hit to cardiovascular health but a help to brain health. See: Smokers having less brain problems.

When I was diving into the subject there was also stuff about looking for similar drugs or basing a drug off nicotine to improve neruo health as well.

Okay..... but 1/1000th as bad as smoking, is still worse than just chewing gum, a patch, or a pill.

Plus 108 pieces of nicotine gum, is like.... 25$. I doubt you'd get as much bang for your buck vaping.

...also, to answer OP

You're completely wrong about virtually everything in your post. Vaping is far less expensive, easy to control dosage, and higher dosage is easier.

Gene-editing is literally the technique singularity we all waited.

You can rewrite the genetic code with no limits. You can insert genes or only one base. You can delete harmful gene and replace it by a good one. You can repair a damaged sequence (bye bye cancer). You can add sequences (hello infinite telomeres). You can change the very structure of your body (you want a baby with 3 arms ? no problem).

It's pretty easy, pretty cheap.

You know how Einstein and his bros changed the vision of our universe. Gene editing is a door to an infinite universe of possibilities.

>change my eyes from blue to green You can already do that.

CRISPR is far from being able to be put in practice. All the chinese experiments on embryos have resulted in mosaics. Also, deleting a gene's phentotype by non-homologous end joining is quite frequent, but replacing it with a functional one by homology directed repair is super hard.

lol, but serious, 2/3/4 hours....can anyone clarify this to me? i am a fcking brainlet with ADD inattentive type that already tried every single shit without sucess, nicotine is my last shot...

>>9104385
aren't they already researching ways to use CRISPR to cure some forms of cancer?

BTW, how costly would be to have your own biology lab at home, to learn microbiology and do stuff from like seeing cells and shit? what about playing with dna/rna?
