Text of the page (random words):
paradise engineering and the post darwinian transition paradise engineering and the post darwinian transition will the world s last unpleasant experience be a precisely dateable event abstract happier smarter and nicer under the darwinian regime natural selection has been blind complications aside genetic mutations and meiotic shufflings are quasi random nature has no capacity for foresight or contingency planning during the primordial era of life on earth selfishness in the technical genetic sense has closely overlapped with selfishness in the popular sense they are easily confused but in the new reproductive era where suites of alleles will be societally chosen and actively designed in anticipation of their likely behavioural effects the character of fitness enhancing traits will be radically different for a start the elimination of such evolutionary relics as the ageing process will make any form of post human reproduction on earth whether sexual or clonal a relatively rare and momentous event it s likely designer post human babies will be meticulously pre planned the notion that all reproductive decisions will be socially regulated in a post ageing world is abhorrent to one s libertarian instincts but if they weren t regulated then the earth would soon simply exceed its carrying capacity whether it is 15 billion or 150 billion if reproduction on earth does cease to be a personal affair and becomes a democratically accountable state sanctioned choice then a major shift in the character of typically adaptive behavioural traits will inevitably occur taking a crude genes eye view a variant allele coding for say enhanced oxytocin expression or a sub type of serotonin receptor etc predisposing to un selfishness in the popular sense will actually carry a higher payoff in the technical selfish sense hugely increasing the likelihood that such alleles and their customised successors will be differentially pre selected in preference to alleles promoting say anti social behaviour told like this of course the neurochemical story is a simplistic parody it barely even hints at the complex biological socio economic and political issues at stake just who will take the decisions and how what will be the role in shaping post human value systems of alien forms of emotion whose metabolic pathways and substrates haven t yet been disclosed to us what kinds if any of inorganic organisms or non dna driven states of consciousness will we want to design and implement what will be the nature of the transitional era when our genetic mastery of emotional mind making is still seriously incomplete how can we be sure unknown unknowns won t make things go wrong true darwinian life may often be dreadful but couldn t botched paradise engineering make it even worse even if it couldn t might not there be some metaphysical sense in which life in a blissful biosphere could still be morally wrong even if it strikes its inhabitants as utterly right unfortunately we will only begin to glimpse the implications of post darwinism when paradise engineering becomes a mature scientific discipline yet as the vertebrate genome gets rewritten the two senses of selfish will diverge spectacularly rather than being easily conflated true a tendency to quasi psychopathic callousness to other sentient beings enhanced the inclusive fitness of our dna in the evolutionary past in the new reproductive era however such traits are potentially mal adaptive they may even disappear the nbspmolecular nbspbiology nbspof nbspparadise happier smarter nbsp nicer 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 hedweb future opioids bltc research sensualism com superhappiness entactogens com the good drug guide utopian pharmacology the abolitionist project reprogramming predators the hedonistic imperative critique of huxley s brave new world paradise engineering and games theory chatgpt on compassionate biology and the post darwinian transition
