Trigger
Yesterday, I listened as usual to National Public Radio while on my commute to work. Well, NPR interviewed an environmentalism expert on climate change in conjunction with the pope visit to the U.S. This man kept repeating at least three times or so during this short interview what an existential threat climate change was to humans.
Positive Gene Editing
If we only could identify and modify the genes responsible for why so many humans are afflicted by perceived and excessive existential threats, we could finally put all these doomsayers out of business.
The corollary would be to identify and strengthen the genes responsible for human optimism and ingenuity.
