Main IndexLIFESCIENCE: solving the handicaps
--------------------------------------------------------- ARS ELECTRONICA FESTIVAL 99 LIFESCIENCE Linz, Austria, September 04 - 09 http://www.aec.at/lifescience --------------------------------------------------------- >Some of our evolutionary gathered handicaps have been vanished by ignorance. >Will our currently gattered capability of coping with different presentations >of gentix enhance our thinking or our stupidness? The way I'm human the way you're are as well. For god's sake it's been proved it is not legal to categorize people in races. But why did Hitler? Why do some people want to assign manners ++ attitudes on certain races? When we first entered planet earth it seemed we had no real plan how to make it our home. After millions of years we've sustained a pretty cool future ++ presence. We got beyond some curtains. We explored the planet, got to face widespread diseases and learned to cope with reality. Fortunately we learned to cope with problems a way that is very specific to human race. Of course this tense of exploring the world, enveloping new technologies of information interchange and other bright endevors has brought us great convenience. After centuries (milleniums) of evolution we're now able to blow up the whole planet. We can treat and react on illness utilizing biomolecular techniques. In my opinion it is our job to explore the world. But the way to explore can not be paved with technologies that can't be kept under regularity. Nuclear energy promised a changing the world to the better. Has it? After accidents we recognized there is to be another way to success for all. Though we're embellishing the current situation we don't even know what it's good for. That list issues genetix. Well. We know how to get information of every person's genetix mixing. But if we could change that information what way will we turn it. I don't want to discuss what would happen if someone has this possibility. The only thing that makes me nuts is - ?WHAT ARE WE AIMING ON? It SOUNDS great. It will help. No doubt. This human-aided invasion in our very individual information-pool will surely change evolution's direction since we're capable of deciding the way it turns. I'm not against that technology as you might think now. But we still suffer from a lack of substantial information. There's plenty we know but plenty we only can immagine. And that imagination must turn to knowledge. It doesn't help to simply imagine the possible consequences. On the other hand: The net is a real wunderful idea. no doubt again. though we often don't recognize it (maybe we don't want to) the net isn't a world-leading technology since the "world" doesn't only consist of 1st and 2nd world states. We took up communicating, sending mails round the globe but forgot that there're people who don't even know what the word "computer" implies. I'm neither hippy nor do I aim at changing world. But I can't get in mind we're talking about biomolecular possibilies and possibly followed implications while others don't have the simple chance to participate in our (genetic) future and ideology even in some centuries. there's something failing the goal.... -- Sincerely, Phil E.
