It did make me wonder about the important aspect that the Edited humans will likely also feel Love much the same as normal humans. This might help the whole situation, if we define Love as some combination of Empathy and Desire for the other Individual to thrive (for selfish reasons). I'm trying to say that - the other way around from that speech is interesting. If the Designed decide that they Love us the Undesigned, we might be saved from destruction or even an extremely worsened life quality. There are two caveats: 1. Love could be seen as a 'weakness' and there might be a crop of super genius Designed who don't have the genes required. If it turns out that this does not impact viability for whatever reasons, natural or engineered (we design companies where we expect some geniuses to be Complete Jerks and be okay with that as long as the bottomline is improved), then the undesigned are doomed. 2. Love does not fix all problems. There are Homeless people in San Fransisco despite being surrounded by some of the smartest, richest people who also have Empathy and Love for people in their lives. But enough of these Smart Rich People would prefer the Homeless just go elsewhere rather than blot the landscape (instead of thinking about helping them) - that there's no political will to aggressively fix the problem. The Undesigned could just end up being the Homeless of the near future. Fun Times (I'm terrified).
