I don't want eugenics or "artificial human selection" or anything like that, I want basically sci-fi style genetic modification and mechanical/nano-mechanical augmentation of the adult human body according to the wishes of the human being augmented. :V

The biggest problem with eugenics is not that they don't work, is that to make them work you have to commit stellar levels of evil, coercion and murder, to achieve even a small thing.

That's a result of the current societal attitudes. If people would agree collectively to work towards a common genetic goal, no violence would be necessary. As it is, the fact that implementing population controls would require harsh measures is the very thing that makes it impractical. Hence, I look to extraplanetary development as the best way to ensure the long-term survival of civilization.

The other problem with eugenics is that by the time we as a species collectively decide on one type of human as "desirable" over any other time, we've lost the diversity of t,hought and ideas that I think makes us (for lack of a better term, coming from a transhumanist) human, and interesting. Same reason I don't like the idea of the hive-mind, it's throwing out the strength of us in our diversity of thought, and (eventual goal here:) diversity of form.

[Helgoland]

I don't see that ever happening in Europe.

Too many people would see it as eugenics regardless.

It would be - I was kidding...

There were a couple threads for the transhumanism thing, and related things. This one was not locked.

Your test scores indicate that you are a tender-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a university professor. It appears that you are tolerant towards religion, and have a compassionate and sympathetic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a liberal.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a sensible realistic egalitarian with several strong convictions.

This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting.

OK, that's insulting...it called me capitalist.  It's probably because of the questions that went along the lines of "abolish all private property" - a nice dream, but not exactly practical - and "blame the financiers" - not inaccurate, but a rather fatuitous over-simplification.  Apart from that, it seems fair enough, at least insofar as this is pretty much me in a nutshell.

Hmmm, do I answer the letter or the spirit of the question?

MSH, quick request: Every time you change the title, can you change the OP to have the link to the test the title references? Trawling through the thread isn't fun :I

Sorry, but I can't be bothered to maintain that. Also, we did this quiz before.
