Journal Entry: 1-18-2012
One thinks about the 19th century science of eugenics dedicated to the goal of using human genetics and selective breeding techniques to create a master race of humans. My initial response is that were youth taught the science of self-realizing, the angelic part of their natures would win out and the master race would appear as if like magic. They would have the great advantage of carrying with them the weaker part of their natures which potentially--when utilized-- could give them wondrous variety of ideational origin and a widely different perspective on life and how to live.
Of course Nazis and racists are what someone would be imputed to be today to even bring up the subject. If one openly, ethically and carefully experiments with genetic selection and some cautious tinkering with the human genetic code, it may be acceptable to society.
Would extrasensory skills induced by mind-influencing drugs and electronic implants be far behind after being embedded in people for the sake of claimed gains in human superiority? Perhaps. We must move slowly with great humility, much review, consultation and with controls in place.
No one carte blanche should shut down such research and innovative science. If much debate and consideration were negotiated in advance of experimentation, many potential bad experiments would never get underway.
The prospects are terrific without altering our genetics much or at all. We use but a small percentage of our brains and talents as it were, so as individuators, our capacity of developing into superior persons will be a standard reality. Superior persons of all races, genders and sizes will realize their possibilities in this coming generation, requiring no selective breeding to get the job done.
