If the human condition is to ever change in any meaningful way, the only solution is to modify the source code aka DNA. CRISPR could be a tool for good or a tool for evil, but at the end of the day it’s up to us how we use it. So how about this, instead of everyone following the immidiate instinct of the monkey mind and engineering their children to be perfect clones, why not simply focus on removing the dark triad personality from the genome? Easier said than done and I’m not an expert or even a novice but that seems like a logical first step looking at it from the view that like computers, we have a basic set of instructions programmed by default for survival. Prior to civilization it may have been advantageous, but today it’s a purely destructive force imo. It’s time for a firmware update.
