The opportunity for frontier technologies to improve humans through biological and technological enhancement and genetic engineering could well lead to a forced evolutionary bifurcation, which effectively creates two (or more) essentially different separate species, with a gap too enormous to jump by natural means. This would most likely consign all non-enhanced humanity to a permanently second-class future, dwarfing our current concerns of inequality between the haves and have-nots. Moreover, as genetic modifications are transferred to future generations, human (or possibly AI) design would inevitably limit the incredible randomness of natural evolution, the most primal form of innovation. Historically, conquering nations have added to the gene pool; natural disasters have eliminated genes. Many other seemingly random events have led to significant evolutionary changes. In Darwinian terms, there has been a continuous battle with only the fittest surviving. Engineered enhancements might well provide extraordinary improvements for the current environment. However, in the event of unexpected exogenous world changes, engineered solutions based on pre-programmed parameters, no matter how sophisticated and/or adaptable, might not be sufficient.

One of the most powerful tools to emerge is CRISPR, which, using an amalgam of technologies, allows scientists, with great speed and precision, to edit— even rewrite— genetic codes in a broad array of organisms. Clearly the potential for good is extraordinary— accelerating the cures for diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and numerous others. However, the ability to splice genes and make selective changes to otherwise healthy organisms to “improve” them raises an equal or greater number of concerns on practical, philosophical, and ethical grounds. Unlike integrating hardware and software into the human body, which disappears upon the death of the individual, the change of genetic sequencing can be passed from generation to generation and is, therefore, permanent.

It is important to note the Deep Web is often (incorrectly) used synonymously with the Dark Web; even ChatGPT recently made that error and then apologized when we called it out.

People really don’t like change, particularly fast-moving change. Individuals, companies, groups, and societies tend to treat change with concern and will just ignore it or even work to prevent it. This limits efficient and widespread adoption of these new frontier technologies. Unfortunately, this leaves the real power in the hands of those creating the technology and the small number who adapt and adopt early.

Among the dominant, economics is a function, not an end; power is the overarching commodity, and incumbents are replaced only by a more powerful external force interceding.

While innovators are building a new and potentially superior intelligence in their own image, who is looking out for our well-being? Unfortunately, even those leaders and policymakers who believe they have our best interests in mind rarely have the knowledge, power, and capacity to deliver. And, from a practical basis, most are required to reach a

A few years back, the Chief Rabbi of the UK, Lord Sacks, gave a speech regarding what we refer to as “The Joseph Principle.” It was a sermon about social networ s and the viciousness of many posts. The premise was that Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery when he was not present to object or make his feelings about it known. The story implies that had he been there in person, they would never have been able to carry out such a heinous act. The story shows that when you are not physically with someone or not emotionally engaged with them, you might behave far worse than if they were present or if you cared about them. The same can be said for social media, where engagement is often with people you do not know. When you see a message or a post, your reaction reflects your frame of mind, not necessarily that of its originator. Not seeing the person, hearing the tone, or gauging the body language makes things even worse. And all these technologies are specifically trained to identify it and use it for their benefit, not yours.
