What do your human predatory genes do?
What do your predatory genes do… judging from what happens when some are turned off… and some are turned on?
Some things in reality are outside of our direct knowledge… but we can still glean an insight by observing what happens when we tweak them, turn them off, turn them on.
One of the most memorable things I have ever read was in a book The Terminal Man. In the beginning, scientists want to find out what area of the brain is responsible for certain behaviors, certain memories…
I have been endlessly curious about this same topic, so I have read many novels around it.
Of course they are all science fiction… and to tell you the truth, if I read the story of adjusting the predatory genes, I would be sure it is science fiction. Science fiction means: it may happen in the future, but we are not able to do it yet… and yet… we are doing it.
Add to this that I personally have no idea what the genes do, which one does it, is it a combination of the genes, is it a combination with other factors, like soul correction, memories, delusions, etc.?
So given that I personally don’t know sh*t, I am not doing it. I am letting/asking Source to do it.
And, of course Source is also a fodder for science fiction… WTF is Source… right?
