Please, more of this, transhumanism and life extension. I'm tired with all the "ethical/moral" bs our modern society keeps doing to inhibit progress. Humans are too choosy despite living in a reality that doesn't give a damn!
What is kinda terrifying is having recently learned how incubators have developed. Between improvements to help increasingly premature infants and biologist making incubators so they can visually observe zygote development, some are estimating we could incubate a human being from conception to birth in about 8 to 10 years. All a government would need to compete in a supersolder arms race is quietly obtain donated eggs and sperm and raise batches of experimental humans in secret. Of course this is still lagistacly difficult to do in secret, but the fact that it entirely possible in the next few decades is insane.
Imagine, being able to cross breed and selectively breed humans the way we do plants. A monied elite could then churn out a never ending supply of sterile worker humans. Absolute control over population numbers and specialization for particular jobs. 😳
difficult to do in secret? my man, the CIA has done countless atrocities since it's inception(in a much bigger scale too) which we learned years after the fact. have you seen ANYONE care about it, at all? it all ends up in "that's bad" and people carry on. if they want to do this shit (and they probably already are) they will find a way to make you agree with it, or you'll be ostracized for wrongthink.
Given how many weapons end up backfiring on those who created them, the idea of experimental “super soldiers” is more likely to end with creating Fallout style super mutants than Captain America.
Honestly given all the media surrounding genetic experiments, I'd be surprised if the facility didn't have an emergency bomb und the building to instantly kill everything in a several mile radius the moment something goes wrong. Like with all the zombie movies and mutant creation media around you'd be dumb not to prevent some of these disaster scenarios.
All this amazing tech and we can't figure out how to live without war. Imagine what we as humans could accomplish together if we didn't put so much time in the destructiveness of war.
The answer is simple, the only reason for wars are politicians. Do u think russians woukd have voted using a direct democracy to start a war?? Of course not! Every war, every dictatorship, every unfair law and the laws that create monopolies, every problem today is politicians fault. Both, left and right problems, are just politicians fault. We just need to change our system, representative democracy, for a direct democracy. Every system managed by a mayority will be better than one managed by less than the 0.01% of your country. Thats fake democracy.
@@Reddeth6332 Well, there's the story of Icarus that flew too close ro the Sun and burned his wings and fell to his death. Moral of the story was: humans aren't meant to fly. And yet our society doesn't work without planes. Those stories are made to make people not feel bad for their limitations and tell them that it's probably better to live without it. But we can see how useful flight is. So useful in fact that our civilization wouldn't exist without it. When people get access to disease immunity they'll make the same point as the one I'm making.
And, as Jeff Goldblums character in Jurassic Park says "Science is always more concerned with whether it CAN do something, than with whether it SHOULD."
@ApplesWithPeanutButter Sure, if you eradicate the colourblind gene we'd end up with less diversity, but that would be due to the eradication of a genetic disease. Same can be said about hemophilia, down syndrome and many others. We are reducing the genetic diversity part that gives us diseases. The genetic diversity that would be filtered anyway by not being able to survive in the wild.
Sci-Fi? 300,000 years ago, Lucifer, sovereign of 1,000 inhabited worlds, declared LIBERTY from Rule by a Non-Existent Father-God, and advised the Planetary Princes under his authority to do as they WILT. 2029 years ago, Jesus, a Jew from the Kingdom of Israel, came forth from the Father and Triumphed and returned to the Father. The Spirit of Truth should arrive soon. John 16: 7-15. Lucifer and Satan were judged by the Ancients of Days far from Earth in 1985. The devil and dragon remain on Earth. Their judgement is set for 10/12/26 -- one heavenly hour after Lucifer refused mercy. They fully expect to absolve themselves of blame by proving Mankind Unfit for God's Kingdom with WAR. Every desperate nation, tribe, and peoples for themselves . . . in the Name of GAUD -- Grand Architect of Ur Destruction. "After all," the devil argues, "Jesus, Himself, tried to teach these beasts to love one another 1,992 years ago -- almost two full days in Heaven. Surely, the ancients of Days will judge Man at fault. Or Jesus. Not Me." The devil is delusional, Daniel 7: 9-14. But over 93% of men and women are nearly deaf and blind spiritually. That's NORMAL. It has always been this way. Epochal Eclipse April 8th 2024. Matthew 16: 4
There's just one tiny problem with the supersoldier stuff. I understand that for that to work you'd need to edit the embryo, so then, you'd have to force a bunch of people to be soldiers from birth, and subsequently having other roles and "classes" imposed from birth. And thtat's the kind of Aldous Huxley bs dystopia I don't want to live in lmao.
It *is* possible to gene edit non-embryos, using CRISPR. It is just a bit more difficult. If you have consenting adults, who consent to being genetically altered, that could get around that ethnical dilemma.
@@alexandermarvin9536 htf would that do anything? Genes are the blueprint for building an organism. If the organism is already there, I fail to see how you could achieve anything other than cancer by editing genes. Oh, and by the way, you don't need CRISPR for that last part. Just a high dose of radiation sufficient to damage the dna.
Entire idea is bullshit. It's way cheaper and more efficient to just wait for robotic improvement then wait decades for new soldiers which are slightly better.
Was thinking the same throughout the video... forcing humans to a specific role in their future life. How would this work at a psychological level to begin with?
@@Enclave_Engineer I agree, technology already is the deciding factor. Making soldiers smarter or stronger isn't gonna change that much. But this gene editing will surely make sports super interesting and the possibility to have people with 150 IQ for example more common than 1 in 1000000 will change everything.
honestly, as impressive as genetically enhanced super soldiers might be, I'd be more worried about cybernetically enhanced super soldiers, since GESS are still limited by what DNA could do, where as Cyborgs could do things that are outright beyond biology, the GESS has super-dense muscles taken from gorillas/chimpanzees capable of lifting almost 5 tonnes, while the cyborg has hydraulics capable of lifting 50 (just pulling numbers from nowhere but you get my point)
the bright side i always see with cybernetic enhancement is ey atleast its a good option if you want to combat potential AI singularities. especially if you dont build wifi access into the cybernetics.
Great and valid point. But something I’ve always wondered about cybernetics and the fascination of cybernetic enhanced super soldiers, what’s to say that they couldn’t be taken out or rendered “useless” with an EMP blast of some sort? When / if a cybernetic super soldier program becomes a thing, I’d assume humanity would be at a very advanced state in terms of technology, with EMP technology being in an advanced state also. They already exist today, so I’m curious to see what would be available when cyber soldiers become a thing. I’ve always thought about that, only time will tell of course!
@@godfreyofibelin301 true though you could perhaps build faraday cages into these devices. But god though… imagine a surgically implemented brain augment but like… you have to then graft a faraday cage onto the persons skull. Sheesh Theres also the possibility we develop alternative computing systems in the future. For me i wish photonic COMPUTING! i hope we figure out light based logic gates. That would be so cool! And it wouldnt be affected by emp
@@zefellowbud5970 Thank you for pointing out the term faraday cage! I hadn’t heard it before and didn’t realize that’s more or less the official title for EMP protection, or hardening! Very cool! Also I had never heard of photonic computing either. You’ve opened up a whole new tech fascination for me! I’ve got a lot of googling to do now lol. Thankfully it’s the weekend haha!
@@godfreyofibelin301 theres honestly a lot of really surprising tech in the recent years that are being developed. Like just a decade ago boston dynamics robots were like an infant by todays standard. Wonder what tomorrow has in store On the topic of EMP did you know that you can take a copper tube around a magnet surround that with explosives and thats enough to make an EMP it doesn’t need without high altitude nuke detonation. Its called explosively pumped EMP. Pretty rad niche info Might be useful against a robot uprising. Just damage their faraday cage with guns perhaps then use such easy to manufacture emp bomb lmao
Well one really big problem I see with this is let's say we make a super soldier and the person decides not to be a soldier and becomes a criminal or something if they become a criminal and are literally physiologically better than a normal human they could cause so much damage since we can already see how much damage normal humans can do imagine how much more damage some sort of a super soldier could do or worse a group of super soldiers.
Editing a (consenting) human adult is possible, just a bit more difficult. That gets around the ethnical dilemma of raising somebody to be a soldier, who potentially doesn't want to be one. There are other ethnical issues of course still.
Well here's the thing, while Gene editing is illegal, something else is being worked on. Cybernetics, we're already seeing it with Elon Musk's Neural Link. Think of Deus Ex or Cyberpunk or even Robocop becoming a reality.
What if those genetically modified human beings decide to conquer normal humans bcoz they might think we are not superior.. And they try to establish their own civilization of superior humans..
One time my grandma who I might add was an American, Was on a rampage about Captain America and it included the phrase “why is he fighting a war on drugs, when drugs are the reason that he’s even a super soldier that asthmatic little piece of shit” It makes me laugh so hard every time I see anything relating to Captain America all I think of is my grandma calling him an asthmatic little piece of shit lmao
Yeah, this "war on drugs" is one of the biggest sham ever conceptualized. I would understand if they're absolute about it, but I hate the hypocrisy of the same people ignoring similar substances such as alcohol, nicotine, sugar (lol), prescriptions, etc...
The big problem with spending all the money and resources engineering super soldiers is: what if they don't want to be soldiers? They have to be slaves....for life. And what if they don't want to be slaves for life? Pretty sure there are a couple of bad sci fi movies dealing with this.
But dude they don't have to be? What I mean is that if the person who was genetically modified doesn't want to be a soldier why does the government care...They can just make more. And also the modified genes will probably be a great help for the persons life as it makes them stronger,smarter, and more agile so it's a win win for both parties.
Every other creature on this planet can & would do the same. The only thing that limits expansion is environmental pressure -- EXCEPT in humans, where our consciousness allows us the possibility of limiting ourselves. If the world was awash in shallow, warm ponds with no dominant predator, would the mosquito not reproduce & thrive until it sucked every last drop of blood from every animal until all were dead, and then with no food source, die off en masse? As far as we know, humans are the only animal with the intelligence to realize their impact on the environment that might impair our survival, although I'd be remiss not to grant that it's incredibly hard to feel that way right now.
I have wanted this topic to be explored so badly. I know so many people have strong emotions about this, but in all reality this is a amazing achievement of human capabilities, health care, human attributes, we can work through any trial and error to gain so much benefits from this field of science. And this won't spread like a virus, these things can only directly effect the people who have children after the gene editing. And even then, it's not 100% that that gene will transfer and be active in your baby when passed from the parent. The mom has the dad has another. So it's very much more likely that the original crisper embryo would gain the added Gene's, and then if a family lineage builds off of that individual, then it's more likely that in that family lineage throughout the generations will have some random individuals in that bloodline with those active genes in them. It can be very helpful. Honestly, life in general is very risky. Just naturally reproducing organisms have a very likely chance that their children could have a medical condition... So in all seriousness, we're not really altering much, if anything, if things get advanced, we could be actually increasing the likelihood of healthy reproduction. Alternatively, say this was never a situation, the bar of standard was stuck at a pretty low point, with medical issues being highly common. So the bar isn't super high level and we're irresponsibly tossing that out the window. Also, last point. This will only be an option for very very very few people in all reality. Either, the richest of the rich, or select individuals that agree towards trials and study's that they would probably follow the individual as they grow and see how things are, do tests, see if certain things are doing well and equally if things are not doing well, so it's going to take a long time to get this zoned in and calibrated but once our knowledge and understand of it and the make up of our genes and how they are activated, etc. It could greatly improve our species as a whole but probably the biggest factor in the far far future is "those who have advanced Gene's and those who happened to not have them?" But it's always something like that in nature, be in high altitude adaptive people, free diving swimmers, endurance athletes, people with the Hercules gene that allows them to naturally have more muscle than normal people. So it's just a matter of keeping the right goals and perspective on this. It's potentially one of the greatest chapters in our evolution since we've gotten to this era of our timeline.
Yeah, that's great and all but that's assuming everything goes perfectly, which never happens in science. Downsides will 100% come with it and can easily just be too overwhelming to manage or reliably continue.
The old Star Trek I believe had a show where they fought wars with computers and then anyone living within the area of the computer bomb hits went to be incinerated.
Yeah I remember this 1, the wars were fought without collateral damage and anyone in a red area had to report for termination brilliant and terrifying all at the same time
I’m reminded of a Voyager episode where B’lanna Torres was captured by silver robots and made to try to figure out how to build compatible power cores so they could start creating new robots. She almost succeeds but is rescued before she can. And it’s revealed that the silver robots are fighting an almost identical version of bronze coloured robots in a war against each other. Then it’s revealed that both groups of robots were created for a war between two alien factions to fight for them. But when the aliens wanted peace, for the war to end, the robots now saw them as the enemy and both factions were made extinct by their own robot armies. Then the silver and bronze robots resumed their war against each other. Pointless war. Just because they were programmed. The only thing is that they can’t make new versions of themselves because their biological creators made the power units very hard to build. Beyond the capability of the robots themselves. So without the ability to “reproduce” eventually the silver or bronze version will eventually win. I guess after that the victor version would find someone else to fight until eventually someone wipes them out too. There are times when I wonder if we’ll end up like that.

Seriously, war is only an ego clash between two leaders and young soldiers are dying for those old men's ego. We should take both leaders and make them fight 1 vs 1. No big scale war, no millions of deaths. Only one winner.
Actually, what’s scarier than editing the human genome to artificially make the “best” version of humanity’s genome potential is just the first step. The bit that freaks me out if I think about it is… what will happen when someone decides that Super soldiers need traits from other species? There are a lot of remarkable things animals can do. Imagine if we took the shocking potential from electric eels? What if we could give our soldiers the sonar abilities of bats? What if we made humans with the ability to change colour like chameleons? Or mask infrared emissions like the Indonymous Rex in Jurassic Park? (I forgot which animal is was taken from. Cuttlefish I think?) CRISPR can do all of that. Granted it would probably be hard to change a human that much without unwanted side effects but it could be done eventually. And don’t get me started on what might happen if all that’s done as well as cybernetic enhancements.
That wont happen if politicians doesnt exist. No nation demos would vote for someone to go forced to war, and to modificate it to become a monster. But politicians would.
As a fan of John Scalzi's "Old Man's War", I really hope this is the way gene edited soldiers go. Why mess with the genetics of an unknown human, when you could edit the genes of a known human and enhance what's already there. Without giving the plot of the book away (because it's one of my favorites, blending humor and suspense in a way the MCU has mastered before Ironman ever hit theatre's), 60 year olds are expected to enlist into the military and then live the next 20 years as they normally would. Once they turn 80, they wake up in their genetically modified 20 year old bodies. They then go off to fight the world's enemies around the universe.
In the last three weeks I've discovered and watched around a couple dozen of your videos and they provide quite a distraction in this unsettling time(I happen to be Ukrainian). But a particular question is bugging me for some time now: Is your channel aimed to answer the Ultimate question of Life, Universe and Everything? If so it is a quite ingenious phonetic trick)))
Hello there mate, I'm Russian and I'm ofc against the war and I'm so sorry for the things that are happening to ur country Слава Украине! Same here, discovered him not that long ago
Even if scientist could create the perfect super soldier today, by the time they are even capable of going to war the Ai more than likely will be way better than them at their job making them kinda obsolete
Not entirely true. Many many many rules will be placed preventing use of them in battle. Like they’ve done with nukes. And when weaponry to counter machine ai is designed they will need soldiers to continue invasions or protect against enemy machines and if both loses their machines then they both just use men
With Elon Musk's Neuro Link, I am not so sure. We are smarter than the smartest AI. If we're given more computational power, the need for AI will diminish.
@@nourmuhsen Well, I think neorlink would do quite the opposite, if it succeeds. More efficient usage of Neurolink would be to create dual-intelligence systems. Brain and an AI acting together through extensive communications while maintaining a degree of individuality. That way it can make an optimal system with each part of the new "dual conciousness" supplementing the caveats of the other. And will allow for multiple "thinkings" ( not "thoughts", brain can already do that. Something like considering two conceptually unrelated things at the same time ) to be done at the same time parallely, like the way multi-core processors work nowadays. Problem would be the question of *the individuality* and the ownership of the thoughts. If another conciousness is involved in the thought process, is it really the same person thinking? Or is there one person at all? I think that it could still be considered the same person ( as much as a person is the person he was a minute ago is ), just extended. Computers are already doing it to us. Our Smart Phones are extensions of our own mind, seing that we use them to ofload part of our thinking. They are involved in making our discisions more than we give them credit for. But I am just an arm-chair man imagining stuff up, so it might as well not be :-)
@Kavinu Nethsara Koswattage No, Neuro Link works on giving your brain more computational power(and memory) to be able to keep up with AI(when it is powerful enough). It doesn't need AI at all. That would be counter-intuitive. And phones do work like that. They give us the mental power to use our brain for things that are not memorising-related.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
And once we've made these super soldiers, what do we do with them once the war is over? I thin there have been several movies and books about this and most of them don't end well for the rest of us.
This beautiful film and especially its unmanned airplanes reminds me of a story I was once told: that two kings fought out their differences on the chessboard, instead of on the field. Nobody died. I can imagine a far future where two future kings, queens, or anything in between will fight out their differences with unmanned chessboards. Nobody died. Both scenarios are the only two scenarios where I can see the beauty in 'war.'
To make ourselves better tools? Oh come on thoughty2, recent events have already taught us there are millions of really good tools amongst us these days as it is. 🤣
"Give war a chance" ;) Red sun Red sun over paradise Red sun Red sun over paradise Golden rays of the glorious sunshine Sending down such a blood-red light Now the animals slowly retreat To the shadows out of sight Arid winds blow across the mountains Giving flight to the birds of prey In the distance machines come To transform Eden day by day Only love is with us now Something warm and pure Find the peace within ourselves No need for a cure When the wind is slow And the fire's hot The vulture waits to see what rots Oh how pretty All the scenery This is nature's sacrifice When the air blows through With a brisk attack The reptile tail ripped from its back When the sun sets We will not forget the Red sun over paradise Red sun
I’d like to see you do a video on the fear of the unknown. How people react to it and how it’s triggered. I’m an aspiring filmmaker and would like to make a movie that enacts this feeling in the audience. Sort of like Alien, jaws or 2001: a space odyssey (to some extent.)
In the future, we will likely see the UN and other groups passing laws and legislations, conventions, etc. that there has to be a certain ratio of human soldiers/operators to autonomous combatants involved in any military, police, or relief operations. That being said, amplifying the human animal seems to be another method in keeping human combatants viable in modern and post-modern warfare. This is already being done with the recent developments in exo-skeletons, augmented reality implementation, genetic conditioning, and improved/dynamic training regiments. TL;DR: Future wars will be fought by a combination of autonomous robotic drones/satellites as well as augmented human soldiers.
You should make a video on nano technology and it’s use in everyday life once completed and what the future of soldiers may look like after it’s been refined
extremely well presented - I do not want to be any type of God, and having seen war at far too close up, do not wish to find out what terrible things could be done with this science!

But let’s say every side starts using robots that could mean less human casualties if we just have robots die instead if everyone relies on human soldiers Idk maybe I’m being too optimistic lol
Some facts: Boston Dynamics doesn’t want its robots to be armed. They are just for logistical support, scouting and bomb defusing. Highly computerized soldiers are a vision by the engineers. From what I heard, Actual soldiers on the ground actually prefer keeping their vision clean in order not to be distracted. Night vision, communication and GPS are highly appreciated, but when the army introduced a gun mounted cameras that combatants got displayed in their HUD, users didn’t get exited over it.
War is mandatory, only a simpleton who doesn’t understand human nature believes that peace is sustainable. There will always be arguments between nations, especially when resources are involved
There's a type of armor for a foot soldier that offers more protection than bullet resistant vest or helmet. It makes it easier to scale various buildings, walls, or other such structures, make it more efficient to cross creeks, swamps and some other bodies of water. Offer better operation under hot sunny conditions or when in winter. The Swiss Army knife of body protection. Interestingly the military did use such an item, yet impressive as it was, they used it completely wrong. If slightly modified and used differently it would offer an immensely more opportunity for protection. It would offer safer protection in urban, forest, snow, fields, the majority of battle conditions.
I put it to you simply "The serum enhances everything inside. Good becomes great, bad becomes worse." Yes we maybe close to captain America's BUT "the right man" needs to be chosen and well...... that ain't happening they will pick a man that will be "strong, fast, and obey orders." Until the person sees they don't need to and then bow to your new king or kings.
I dont think it's viable, cloning your most decorated soldier is more likely to happen. And then you have to train them from birth, so the costs will be insane. Lucas' vision in Star Wars is more likely to happen. Robots on the battlefield first (already happening with drones) followed by clones.
"periods in history just have seen large amounts of conflict have traditionally catalyzed huge leaps forward in technology" That's not necessary for technological advancements. Also these days people from many developing countries have greater resources to research than they previously did. By that logic, we'll make better progress without war.
We already made more progress without war. By logic too: if people are afraid to die their priority system will change drastically and they won't be interested in research but in saving their own life
Science: How do we make the perfect killing machine? Religion and Philosophy: How to we make humans more compassionate? Economics: Why are you wasting your time on the humanities? We need more bombs!
improving certain traits isnt all we could do, with enough effort we could discover the codons which code for certain traits and then we could (theoretically) create a new pair of sister chromosomes and put said traits on them
Gene's editing sounds like eugenics. If a human destined to be fragile then let it be. Military sector is doing great without this monstrosity of a science.
In 2004 there was an outbreak of syphilis on Camp Victory North and Black Jack. It was tracked back to a medic of all people. Making soldiers immune to STD’s is actually a great idea.
Aldous Huxley’s _Brave New World_ and/or the movie _Gattaca_ come to mind… with a little sprinkle of _Frankenstein’s Monster_ and/or the OG Golem of the Jewish ghetto of Prague …and it’s terrifying.
Yeah this subject drives me insane…. The process of naturally evolving the genetic code over thousands of years is slow for a reason. We could discover methods to make someone immune to illness with one alteration that seems to have nothing but pros and no cons. Just to find out hundreds of years later that there was an unrealized consequence that we weren’t aware of until the entire human species is trapped in a bad situation because it was considered “safe” and “harmless” editing for a hundred years already. Things like this don’t show the full consequences in a 12 year clinical trial. It’ll eradicate an entire species after a thousand. Of course then we’ll just edit again and again and again to eliminate the next undesirable trait…. Losing track of our starting point and introducing so many unknowns and variables it would be impossible to determine at which point we made a bad edit. You don’t have to be religious to understand this is stupid… humans don’t have the patience for this kind of science, nor are we historically responsible enough for it.
So the point is how can we stop this? threshold? how really civil can a civilization be and what percentage of crime should become acceptable? That are the questions that come to mind when i'm thinking on genetic editing
My Biology teacher is always bringing up CRISPR and how humans in the next generation can live up to 1000 yrs old.One of the reasons why i clicked on this video because i'm going to the military when i'm old enough and i guessed that its about the newer technology in battlefields and how CRISPR is related to the topic.
Human life is overrated! I'm tired of the bs of us pretending that we, as individuals, are relevant. There are billions of us living and dying worthless, irrelevant lives, you are expendable until you've proven otherwise. I'm no different, but at least I'm doing something about it.
@@mstr293 Irrelevant to who? Lmao that is where your thought process collapses. To talk about being relevant you have to link that with a scope. Since the only common one is just living you can't really make a point
the extremely smart one is probably gonna say "...now back to the formula.." and create even smarter alter-egos until they reach a point they understand the research is too dangerous and they're gonna kill themselves
I'd probably make my lil gene bundle have good technical skills. Someone has to fix all the computerized home stuffs once I get too old/shaky/forgetful/etc to operate the smart fridge let alone repair it.
We already have lasers to a degree but they are banned in warfare due to how they can blind, we also have camouflage tech being developed as simple as a suit that takes constant feed of what's behind you placing it in front of you but this doesn't hide against things like thermal or heartbeat sensors.
Just the abbreviation CRISPR freaks me out after reading about the tech with Whitley Steiner near 40years ago. Same as the tech used in Winter Soldier it's totally world changing.
Aaran, you're great, and I liked the joke at the end of this video, man! I was thinking about this - between minute 3:31 and 4:19 - humans also can not fly! 😃😉
Top tier technology is probably anywhere from 300 - 500 years ahead of everything we see everyday so it's nice of them too come clean once in awhile after decades of research development and application....

Given how many weapons end up backfiring on those who created them, the idea of experimental “super soldiers” is more likely to end with creating Fallout style super mutants than Captain America.

The answer is simple, the only reason for wars are politicians. Do u think russians woukd have voted using a direct democracy to start a war?? Of course not!
Every war, every dictatorship, every unfair law and the laws that create monopolies, every problem today is politicians fault. Both, left and right problems, are just politicians fault.
We just need to change our system, representative democracy, for a direct democracy. Every system managed by a mayority will be better than one managed by less than the 0.01% of your country. Thats fake democracy.

Sci-Fi? 300,000 years ago, Lucifer, sovereign of 1,000 inhabited worlds, declared LIBERTY from Rule by a Non-Existent Father-God, and advised the Planetary Princes under his authority to do as they WILT.
2029 years ago, Jesus, a Jew from the Kingdom of Israel, came forth from the Father and Triumphed and returned to the Father. The Spirit of Truth should arrive soon. John 16: 7-15.
Lucifer and Satan were judged by the Ancients of Days far from Earth in 1985. The devil and dragon remain on Earth. Their judgement is set for 10/12/26 -- one heavenly hour after Lucifer refused mercy.
They fully expect to absolve themselves of blame by proving Mankind Unfit for God's Kingdom with WAR. Every desperate nation, tribe, and peoples for themselves . . . in the Name of GAUD -- Grand Architect of Ur Destruction.
"After all," the devil argues, "Jesus, Himself, tried to teach these beasts to love one another 1,992 years ago -- almost two full days in Heaven. Surely, the ancients of Days will judge Man at fault. Or Jesus. Not Me."
The devil is delusional, Daniel 7: 9-14. But over 93% of men and women are nearly deaf and blind spiritually. That's NORMAL. It has always been this way.

There's just one tiny problem with the supersoldier stuff.
I understand that for that to work you'd need to edit the embryo, so then, you'd have to force a bunch of people to be soldiers from birth, and subsequently having other roles and "classes" imposed from birth.
And thtat's the kind of Aldous Huxley bs dystopia I don't want to live in lmao.
It *is* possible to gene edit non-embryos, using CRISPR. It is just a bit more difficult. If you have consenting adults, who consent to being genetically altered, that could get around that ethnical dilemma.
@@alexandermarvin9536 htf would that do anything? Genes are the blueprint for building an organism. If the organism is already there, I fail to see how you could achieve anything other than cancer by editing genes. Oh, and by the way, you don't need CRISPR for that last part. Just a high dose of radiation sufficient to damage the dna.
Entire idea is bullshit. It's way cheaper and more efficient to just wait for robotic improvement then wait decades for new soldiers which are slightly better.
Was thinking the same throughout the video... forcing humans to a specific role in their future life. How would this work at a psychological level to begin with?
@@Enclave_Engineer I agree, technology already is the deciding factor. Making soldiers smarter or stronger isn't gonna change that much. But this gene editing will surely make sports super interesting and the possibility to have people with 150 IQ for example more common than 1 in 1000000 will change everything.
honestly, as impressive as genetically enhanced super soldiers might be, I'd be more worried about cybernetically enhanced super soldiers, since GESS are still limited by what DNA could do, where as Cyborgs could do things that are outright beyond biology, the GESS has super-dense muscles taken from gorillas/chimpanzees capable of lifting almost 5 tonnes, while the cyborg has hydraulics capable of lifting 50 (just pulling numbers from nowhere but you get my point)
the bright side i always see with cybernetic enhancement is ey atleast its a good option if you want to combat potential AI singularities.
especially if you dont build wifi access into the cybernetics.
Great and valid point. But something I’ve always wondered about cybernetics and the fascination of cybernetic enhanced super soldiers, what’s to say that they couldn’t be taken out or rendered “useless” with an EMP blast of some sort? When / if a cybernetic super soldier program becomes a thing, I’d assume humanity would be at a very advanced state in terms of technology, with EMP technology being in an advanced state also. They already exist today, so I’m curious to see what would be available when cyber soldiers become a thing. I’ve always thought about that, only time will tell of course!

On the topic of EMP did you know that you can take a copper tube around a magnet surround that with explosives and thats enough to make an EMP it doesn’t need without high altitude nuke detonation.
Its called explosively pumped EMP. Pretty rad niche info
Might be useful against a robot uprising. Just damage their faraday cage with guns perhaps then use such easy to manufacture emp bomb lmao
Well one really big problem I see with this is let's say we make a super soldier and the person decides not to be a soldier and becomes a criminal or something if they become a criminal and are literally physiologically better than a normal human they could cause so much damage since we can already see how much damage normal humans can do imagine how much more damage some sort of a super soldier could do or worse a group of super soldiers.
Editing a (consenting) human adult is possible, just a bit more difficult. That gets around the ethnical dilemma of raising somebody to be a soldier, who potentially doesn't want to be one. There are other ethnical issues of course still.
Well here's the thing, while Gene editing is illegal, something else is being worked on. Cybernetics, we're already seeing it with Elon Musk's Neural Link. Think of Deus Ex or Cyberpunk or even Robocop becoming a reality.
What if those genetically modified human beings decide to conquer normal humans bcoz they might think we are not superior.. And they try to establish their own civilization of superior humans..

The big problem with spending all the money and resources engineering super soldiers is: what if they don't want to be soldiers?
They have to be slaves....for life. And what if they don't want to be slaves for life?
Pretty sure there are a couple of bad sci fi movies dealing with this.
Very, very good point. Star Trek: Next Gen had an episode about this.
But dude they don't have to be? What I mean is that if the person who was genetically modified doesn't want to be a soldier why does the government care...They can just make more. And also the modified genes will probably be a great help for the persons life as it makes them stronger,smarter, and more agile so it's a win win for both parties.

For a species who has alot of potential for progress, we certainly have a knack for creating our own undoing.
Every other creature on this planet can & would do the same. The only thing that limits expansion is environmental pressure -- EXCEPT in humans, where our consciousness allows us the possibility of limiting ourselves.
If the world was awash in shallow, warm ponds with no dominant predator, would the mosquito not reproduce & thrive until it sucked every last drop of blood from every animal until all were dead, and then with no food source, die off en masse?
As far as we know, humans are the only animal with the intelligence to realize their impact on the environment that might impair our survival, although I'd be remiss not to grant that it's incredibly hard to feel that way right now.

Heyo Thoughty!
Caught a typo on this one, 9:23 "soliders" instead of "soldiers".
Loved the video as always. Cheers mate!
The military has always been far more technologically advanced than the general public, with many things we have never heard of or seen.
That "video thing" and some other things are probably a thing already. Itd be classified though
With the amount of $$$ they received, they better be more advanced than the general public. If not, that would've been a waste of our tax $
I have wanted this topic to be explored so badly. I know so many people have strong emotions about this, but in all reality this is a amazing achievement of human capabilities, health care, human attributes, we can work through any trial and error to gain so much benefits from this field of science. And this won't spread like a virus, these things can only directly effect the people who have children after the gene editing. And even then, it's not 100% that that gene will transfer and be active in your baby when passed from the parent. The mom has the dad has another. So it's very much more likely that the original crisper embryo would gain the added Gene's, and then if a family lineage builds off of that individual, then it's more likely that in that family lineage throughout the generations will have some random individuals in that bloodline with those active genes in them. It can be very helpful. Honestly, life in general is very risky. Just naturally reproducing organisms have a very likely chance that their children could have a medical condition... So in all seriousness, we're not really altering much, if anything, if things get advanced, we could be actually increasing the likelihood of healthy reproduction. Alternatively, say this was never a situation, the bar of standard was stuck at a pretty low point, with medical issues being highly common. So the bar isn't super high level and we're irresponsibly tossing that out the window. Also, last point. This will only be an option for very very very few people in all reality. Either, the richest of the rich, or select individuals that agree towards trials and study's that they would probably follow the individual as they grow and see how things are, do tests, see if certain things are doing well and equally if things are not doing well, so it's going to take a long time to get this zoned in and calibrated but once our knowledge and understand of it and the make up of our genes and how they are activated, etc. It could greatly improve our species as a whole but probably the biggest factor in the far far future is "those who have advanced Gene's and those who happened to not have them?" But it's always something like that in nature, be in high altitude adaptive people, free diving swimmers, endurance athletes, people with the Hercules gene that allows them to naturally have more muscle than normal people. So it's just a matter of keeping the right goals and perspective on this. It's potentially one of the greatest chapters in our evolution since we've gotten to this era of our timeline.

The old Star Trek I believe had a show where they fought wars with computers and then anyone living within the area of the computer bomb hits went to be incinerated.
Yeah I remember this 1, the wars were fought without collateral damage and anyone in a red area had to report for termination brilliant and terrifying all at the same time
I’m reminded of a Voyager episode where B’lanna Torres was captured by silver robots and made to try to figure out how to build compatible power cores so they could start creating new robots.
She almost succeeds but is rescued before she can. And it’s revealed that the silver robots are fighting an almost identical version of bronze coloured robots in a war against each other.
Then it’s revealed that both groups of robots were created for a war between two alien factions to fight for them. But when the aliens wanted peace, for the war to end, the robots now saw them as the enemy and both factions were made extinct by their own robot armies. Then the silver and bronze robots resumed their war against each other. Pointless war. Just because they were programmed.
The only thing is that they can’t make new versions of themselves because their biological creators made the power units very hard to build. Beyond the capability of the robots themselves.
So without the ability to “reproduce” eventually the silver or bronze version will eventually win. I guess after that the victor version would find someone else to fight until eventually someone wipes them out too.
There are times when I wonder if we’ll end up like that.

Actually, what’s scarier than editing the human genome to artificially make the “best” version of humanity’s genome potential is just the first step.
The bit that freaks me out if I think about it is… what will happen when someone decides that Super soldiers need traits from other species? There are a lot of remarkable things animals can do. Imagine if we took the shocking potential from electric eels? What if we could give our soldiers the sonar abilities of bats? What if we made humans with the ability to change colour like chameleons? Or mask infrared emissions like the Indonymous Rex in Jurassic Park? (I forgot which animal is was taken from. Cuttlefish I think?)
CRISPR can do all of that. Granted it would probably be hard to change a human that much without unwanted side effects but it could be done eventually.
And don’t get me started on what might happen if all that’s done as well as cybernetic enhancements.

I love your start-of-the-video jokes, bro. It makes me interested , without even having assumptions as to what exactly you'll talk about.
As a fan of John Scalzi's "Old Man's War", I really hope this is the way gene edited soldiers go. Why mess with the genetics of an unknown human, when you could edit the genes of a known human and enhance what's already there. Without giving the plot of the book away (because it's one of my favorites, blending humor and suspense in a way the MCU has mastered before Ironman ever hit theatre's), 60 year olds are expected to enlist into the military and then live the next 20 years as they normally would. Once they turn 80, they wake up in their genetically modified 20 year old bodies. They then go off to fight the world's enemies around the universe.

Even if scientist could create the perfect super soldier today, by the time they are even capable of going to war the Ai more than likely will be way better than them at their job making them kinda obsolete
Soldiers still will have to keep up with war robots.
Not entirely true. Many many many rules will be placed preventing use of them in battle. Like they’ve done with nukes. And when weaponry to counter machine ai is designed they will need soldiers to continue invasions or protect against enemy machines and if both loses their machines then they both just use men
With Elon Musk's Neuro Link, I am not so sure. We are smarter than the smartest AI. If we're given more computational power, the need for AI will diminish.
@@nourmuhsen Well, I think neorlink would do quite the opposite, if it succeeds.
More efficient usage of Neurolink would be to create dual-intelligence systems. Brain and an AI acting together through extensive communications while maintaining a degree of individuality.
That way it can make an optimal system with each part of the new "dual conciousness" supplementing the caveats of the other.
And will allow for multiple "thinkings" ( not "thoughts", brain can already do that. Something like considering two conceptually unrelated things at the same time ) to be done at the same time parallely, like the way multi-core processors work nowadays.
Problem would be the question of *the individuality* and the ownership of the thoughts. If another conciousness is involved in the thought process, is it really the same person thinking? Or is there one person at all?
I think that it could still be considered the same person ( as much as a person is the person he was a minute ago is ), just extended. Computers are already doing it to us. Our Smart Phones are extensions of our own mind, seing that we use them to ofload part of our thinking. They are involved in making our discisions more than we give them credit for.
But I am just an arm-chair man imagining stuff up, so it might as well not be :-)
@Kavinu Nethsara Koswattage No, Neuro Link works on giving your brain more computational power(and memory) to be able to keep up with AI(when it is powerful enough). It doesn't need AI at all. That would be counter-intuitive. And phones do work like that. They give us the mental power to use our brain for things that are not memorising-related.

In the future, we will likely see the UN and other groups passing laws and legislations, conventions, etc. that there has to be a certain ratio of human soldiers/operators to autonomous combatants involved in any military, police, or relief operations.
That being said, amplifying the human animal seems to be another method in keeping human combatants viable in modern and post-modern warfare. This is already being done with the recent developments in exo-skeletons, augmented reality implementation, genetic conditioning, and improved/dynamic training regiments.
TL;DR: Future wars will be fought by a combination of autonomous robotic drones/satellites as well as augmented human soldiers.

Probably the same thing here, but instead of breeding super soldiers, we'd be getting super athletes or something.
There's a type of armor for a foot soldier that offers more protection than bullet resistant vest or helmet. It makes it easier to scale various buildings, walls, or other such structures, make it more efficient to cross creeks, swamps and some other bodies of water. Offer better operation under hot sunny conditions or when in winter. The Swiss Army knife of body protection. Interestingly the military did use such an item, yet impressive as it was, they used it completely wrong. If slightly modified and used differently it would offer an immensely more opportunity for protection. It would offer safer protection in urban, forest, snow, fields, the majority of battle conditions.
what is it?

Max maxing you say?? Level 99 you say?? Ohhh my the RuneScape nostalgia hitting deep in a thoughty vid
Captain America is just a dude with the best steroids
Killer machines and muderous A.Is? Skynet sound familiar, Thoughty2? Love the channel.
"periods in history just have seen large amounts of conflict have traditionally catalyzed huge leaps forward in technology"
That's not necessary for technological advancements. Also these days people from many developing countries have greater resources to research than they previously did. By that logic, we'll make better progress without war.
We already made more progress without war. By logic too: if people are afraid to die their priority system will change drastically and they won't be interested in research but in saving their own life
Commercial 1:50-2:50 high frequency attack at 3:50 military of the future, growing more efficient at annihilating their enemy’s every year.
Science: How do we make the perfect killing machine?
Religion and Philosophy: How to we make humans more compassionate?
Economics: Why are you wasting your time on the humanities? We need more bombs!
Also Economics: **boring economic stock images**
Thank you sir! This was informative as always.
improving certain traits isnt all we could do, with enough effort we could discover the codons which code for certain traits and then we could (theoretically) create a new pair of sister chromosomes and put said traits on them
Oh my effing G, we are actually on the horizon of creating Stormtroopers and I'm not happy about it but I can't help but be intrigued
Gene's editing sounds like eugenics. If a human destined to be fragile then let it be.
Military sector is doing great without this monstrosity of a science.
"Let it be" is the one rule world powers will never follow.
In 2004 there was an outbreak of syphilis on Camp Victory North and Black Jack. It was tracked back to a medic of all people. Making soldiers immune to STD’s is actually a great idea.
Slava ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤
Aldous Huxley’s _Brave New World_ and/or the movie _Gattaca_ come to mind… with a little sprinkle of _Frankenstein’s Monster_ and/or the OG Golem of the Jewish ghetto of Prague
…and it’s terrifying.
Yeah this subject drives me insane…. The process of naturally evolving the genetic code over thousands of years is slow for a reason. We could discover methods to make someone immune to illness with one alteration that seems to have nothing but pros and no cons. Just to find out hundreds of years later that there was an unrealized consequence that we weren’t aware of until the entire human species is trapped in a bad situation because it was considered “safe” and “harmless” editing for a hundred years already. Things like this don’t show the full consequences in a 12 year clinical trial. It’ll eradicate an entire species after a thousand. Of course then we’ll just edit again and again and again to eliminate the next undesirable trait…. Losing track of our starting point and introducing so many unknowns and variables it would be impossible to determine at which point we made a bad edit.
You don’t have to be religious to understand this is stupid… humans don’t have the patience for this kind of science, nor are we historically responsible enough for it.
I agree really. Look at Ukraine right now.
So the point is how can we stop this? threshold? how really civil can a civilization be and what percentage of crime should become acceptable? That are the questions that come to mind when i'm thinking on genetic editing
My Biology teacher is always bringing up CRISPR and how humans in the next generation can live up to 1000 yrs old.One of the reasons why i clicked on this video because i'm going to the military when i'm old enough and i guessed that its about the newer technology in battlefields and how CRISPR is related to the topic.
Don't worry, so long as countries that don't put much value in human life exist, there will be test subjects for this type of thing.
Human life is overrated! I'm tired of the bs of us pretending that we, as individuals, are relevant. There are billions of us living and dying worthless, irrelevant lives, you are expendable until you've proven otherwise. I'm no different, but at least I'm doing something about it.
@@mstr293 You are a contemptible creature.
@@mstr293 Irrelevant to who? Lmao that is where your thought process collapses. To talk about being relevant you have to link that with a scope. Since the only common one is just living you can't really make a point
14:33 That would pretty much be Dolph Lundgren you are describing... 6'5", 250 lbs, Black Belt, Master's degree in chemistry...
the extremely smart one is probably gonna say "...now back to the formula.." and create even smarter alter-egos until they reach a point they understand the research is too dangerous and they're gonna kill themselves
You will never know why this gets so many likes 👍
Until we change our hearts our minds will be driven by lust, greed and material gratification. Change your heart, be the change. Lvya Thoughty2.
It's interesting that just a few months ago I was discussing a concept for a book with this exact theme.
Haven't thought about the Gremlins for a while. Think I'm going to rewatch those movies :)
You didn't mention gene editing of non-embryos, using CRISPR. It's possible, just more difficult.
If we let robots fight the wars the next logical step would be to replace all wars with some kind of no rules Battle Bot tournaments. I'd like that
What a brave new world we live in today!
The timing on the game ad was great
Conflict of Nations, great sponsor great timing
More of the "whyy isnt he breeathing anymore? 🤔 kind." 🤣🤣🤣 i was crying when he sais this bro
All we need is some one tonne sets of nearly indestructible armour and bingo we're in the Halo timeline.
I'd probably make my lil gene bundle have good technical skills. Someone has to fix all the computerized home stuffs once I get too old/shaky/forgetful/etc to operate the smart fridge let alone repair it.
This is how The Partials Sequence starts💀genetic modification creating super soldiers bred for war who eventually turn on mankind 😀
2:48 Well well. Single men of the future truly would be good warriors of old.
14:00 Lol. "Why isn't he breathing anymore?"
We already have lasers to a degree but they are banned in warfare due to how they can blind, we also have camouflage tech being developed as simple as a suit that takes constant feed of what's behind you placing it in front of you but this doesn't hide against things like thermal or heartbeat sensors.
Just the abbreviation CRISPR freaks me out after reading about the tech with Whitley Steiner near 40years ago. Same as the tech used in Winter Soldier it's totally world changing.
09:21 "Super SOLIDER"... good one
Aaran, you're great, and I liked the joke at the end of this video, man! I was thinking about this - between minute 3:31 and 4:19 - humans also can not fly! 😃😉
Top tier technology is probably anywhere from 300 - 500 years ahead of everything we see everyday so it's nice of them too come clean once in awhile after decades of research development and application....
7:55 lol the first sequence is important!😆
I can’t wait to actually SEE the difference when we get futuristic 👌🏻
