I haven't watched the final season however I intend to do so just to see what they do with it. It has been a highly unusual series in its mirroring current day attraction/addiction to power upon individuals and its ultimate effect upon the entire world.
I often have the sense that it's just history repeating itself yet again, one more time.
The evolution of the human brain has not learned to sustain, in long term memory, the lessons of the past, passing it along generation to generation, in its genetic code.
I could envision a science fiction story, utilizing crispr tool, etc., to somehow alter a generation of genes to forever implant such a long term wisdom memory.
What might our world then look like when humanity focuses all energies upon the expression of everyone's individual gifts/talents, partnering together in support for quality of life for the many instead of just the few?
I simply can't picture any of this change happening without a mass neurological shift in memory retention from generation to generation.
I love that idea. And -- serendipitously -- I have Walter Isaacson's bio of Jennifer Doudna, CRISPR creator, sitting on the coffee table, beckoning....
Glad to hear you got what I was saying. Wasn't sure I was explaining it in way that was clear! :-)Oh my goodness, Isaacson has done bio on Doudna creator! I love Isaacson's work, I'll have to look for that too. Thank you so much for letting me know.
