This starts well be descends into moralistic woo woo, all of which I agree with abstractly but know is not realistic because so many people are simply too stupid. The only ‘realistic’ hope I can see for our human mundane future is digital babies leading to consciously controlled digital evolution, which even if it is not wise or entirely humane may work in the end simply because whole populations of people 3X smarter than anyone who has ever lived would probably understand the value of morality and probably be better able than us to agree what it is and live by it.
Consciously controlled digital evolution would work sort of like IVF today but with vastly more choices. Within 100 years it is probable people will be able to genetically augment their own gametes enough to produce children that are mostly the same as them, or at least built on their genetic framework, but vastly smarter, healthier, and better looking. This technology does not need to be coercive. Who would refuse to remove genetic illnesses from their bloodlines while also doubling IQ and athletic ability? ABN
