New battle over the genetic engineering of human life:

Many experts and influencers have adopted a transhumanist ethos, believing as they do that we can now engineer our future, including and especially our somatic (bodily) self. And they want to engineer yours whether you want it or not. Read about gene drives and the new US executive order that represents predictive programming of vital cells below.
Renn (2008)describes 3 general "Levels of Risk Debate" that are applicable here to the new battle over the genetic engineering of human life:
•Factual evidence and probabilities
•Institutional performance, expertise, and experience
•Conflicts about worldviews and value systems
Yet, debate has been silenced. The Twitter Files coverage by M. Taibbi demonstrates unprecedented censorship and gatekeeping over a wide array of impactful and pressing issues. Public opinion is being shepherded in ways Edward Bernays could only dream about.
People who disagree with the ethos/pathos/logos of (eugenic) transhumanism are silenced and/or stigmatized as reactionary.Â
This silencing is wrong, as the growing authoritarianism of what Aaron Kheriaty has been described as the BioMedical Security State. https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_New_Abnormal/LD9uEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover
A New Deal of Human Rights, elevating the dignity and autonomy of the individual, is needed to combat the dystopian possibility that our biological beings are reduced to pharmed merchandise.

We will be THE space race, but not mean Russians or bad Chinese people...oh...wait,wait, we can edit out all the bad ones, should only take about 50 years if we concentrate and co -operate, I don't like to have to walk next to people who limp or eat popcorn at the ballgame and throw the wrappers down, make me an Atilla to guard my guard dog and he can handle all that shit for me, I want to take some dancing steroids, cut with a little Gorilla DNA , mix in the honey badger corpuscles and down and down and down and down we go, can I get engineered up to the perfect level of existence, that excruciatingly beautiful world only ever viewed behind a thousand mikes of clearlight, I'll do it, hell yes, right now, too. Well, I better eat first, I might need some stamina. You ever read Cormac McCarthy? He knows what we are. All of us,. Him and Neal Stephensen.
I really like the Journal, man.
I imagine if someone has the Ignorant Hirelings employed toil and moil they shall until the Lion and Lamb are one.
