You don't think there is a tremendous future ahead of you and you, like the rest of the world, can't stop navel-gazing. So, what's the best way to breed a race of super-humans - to make a species that can thrive in the next century?

The first thing we need to understand is that we are not going to be the first to breed people like cattle, but rather the first to start breeding people like racehorses. In other words, we want to create a race of super-humans who will be able to survive even in the, hopefully, hypothetical world of ecological collapse, where climate change has ravaged the planet and we have to live on a diet of soylent greens. And that means we need to start thinking about what the future will be like and what qualities we want in our humans.<br><br>First of all, we need to understand that the climate of the future will be much hotter. That means we need to make humans that are resistant to heat, that can tolerate the heat of the Sahara desert as well as we tolerate the mild climate of Western Europe. And there are many genes that are resistant to heat, such as the genes that code for a specific type of hemoglobin that are found in people of African descent. Also, we want to create humans who are resistant to disease, who don't need to rely on pollutants like antibiotics and vaccines, but who can still fight, kill, and reproduce in the face of disease. <br><br>We should also understand that the future will be very different from the past. We will need humans that are capable of dealing with a world that is unlike anything we have seen before. And that means we need to breed humans that are capable of adapting to new situations, that can quickly learn new skills and technologies, and that can live in a world where a single skill set no longer guarantees you a lifetime of employment. <br><br>We need to breed humans that are capable of living in conditions of constant war, where water and food are scarce. And that means we need to breed humans that can survive on a diet of low-quality food and water, that can live in a world where the air is poisonous and where the earth is constantly shaking.<br><br>We should also understand that the future will be very different from the past. We will need humans that are capable of dealing with a world that is unlike anything we have seen before. And that means we need to breed humans that are capable of adapting to new situations, that can quickly learn new skills and technologies, and that can live in a world where a single skill set no longer guarantees you a lifetime of employment. <br><br>And, of course, we need to breed humans that are capable of dealing with the effects of climate change, humans that can survive in a world where the weather is constantly changing and where the climate is becoming increasingly unstable. And that means we need to breed humans that are capable of adapting to new situations, that can quickly learn new skills and technologies, and that can live in a world where a single skill set no longer guarantees you a lifetime of employment. <br><br>So, if you are interested in breeding humans like racehorses, I encourage you to, first of all, learn as much as you can about the future and what it will be like. Second, I encourage you to think about what qualities you want in your race of super-humans. Do you want them to be capable of dealing with disease? Do you want them to be capable of adapting to new situations? Do you want them to be capable of living in a world where the air is poisonous and where the earth is constantly shaking? <br><br>And finally, I encourage you to act. Learn about the different technologies that can be used to breed humans like racehorses, such as genetic editing tools like CRISPR, in vitro fertilization and other techniques, and consider how these technologies can be used to create a race of super-humans who will be capable of dealing with the challenges of the future. <br><br>I hope this has been helpful. Thank you very much.
