genetically enhanced human species
Literal eugenics. Is there really no point at which guys like this look in mirror ad go “are we the baddies?”

It just sounds like a bunch of basement dwellers lucked out and got rich but nothing else changed.
I don’t think there’s anything fundamentally wrong with eugenics. Screening for genetic diseases before birth is eugenics, selecting the best embryos for ivf is eugenics. Believing that people with severe genetic disabilities should be counseled before conceiving is eugenics as well.
The issue is the way it’s done and the reason for it.
Agree. Point well made.

People forget that the real human superpower is just other humans.
It will do a pretty good job of it if it’s an island in the central Pacific Ocean, 300km away from its closest neighbouring country.
It’s like the joke about outrunning a bear, they just need to run faster than the rest of us. There are only 12k people on Nauru to outlast, and a few years of supplies don’t take up very much space either.
That’s why they were trying to buy an island.
Bunkers have air vents, right?
We’re hitting the point where people who played Bioshock and missed the lesson have money.
its the same as black mirror: These rich tech bro types see dystopian fiction and say “I want to make that real”
There’s a concerningly large contingent of techbros who subscribe to eugenics
…oh, so now rich people are just openly doing comic book supervillain shit. Ok.
to create a fortified apocalypse bunker state,
It exists and it’s called Switzerland.
Look at that altruism.
So effective.
That is some wacky-ass cartoon villain shit lol
Supervillain shit. We’d be better off arresting anyone with too much money.
Let me guess, his ‘ubermensch’ plans involve him impregnating young women gag
Anyone from Australia knows we already fucked the shit out that country. It’s now mostly just a big hole where a pyramid scheme used to be.
Was this not the plot of the very first Farcry game?
hey, who doesn’t want a bunker on a private pacific island?
Anyone else thinking GOTG V3 ? “There is no god thats why i stepped in”
Was Caroline Ellison one of the initial batch of experiments? Combining naked molerat and human dna?
