Imagine a world where once humans were not meant to decrease the metabolism rate through natural occurrences. Can now do such a thing through a lethal compound. Hydrogen Sulfide, the same chemical that was meant to kill soldiers on No Man's Land. I cannot imagine what this new discovery could reveal in future references. In fact, something trivial was that Einstein's best friend was the one who imagined a war of Chemicals. He insisted that he could weaponize Hydrogen Sulfide into such a thing. And he did indeed create such a thing that men feared of during the war. But onto the more concerning matter of how this video has has help me understand Science Fiction. I learned that everything is a double edged sword and we cannot deny the usage of this. Maybe that is what Science Fiction does, acts like a double edged sword. It may appear good on one side while another it isn't lovely. For these are the things I've learned through this video.
The Next Human Species is a race that can choose its order of appearance of abilities. They will be able to use cybernetics to enhance themselves with seeing, hearing, tasting, and feeling. But soon after, they will start to use Biology to enhance themselves into something more. Maybe the whole technology sticking out of them will be viewed as the old ways. But the idea of changing the human course by the DNA. That is something that you and I are afraid of. The Next Human Species will have the technology and understanding of how to change themselves into something more than what the average human is today. But the promises that you and I is truly something to consider. The Blind being able to see, the Deaf being to hear. Those that have neuro problems being able to feel objects. Those that cannot taste being able to have the ability to taste. This is such a promising thing to where we all forget something. THis frightens me because then everyone will able to only view the world in a certain way. No one will be able to tell what it means to be blind. They will be able to see the world in only one way and nothing more. I just worry that in process of instead of improving technology on everything around us. They will instead focus on themselves and become something more than human. That when the writers or those that dream of us. They will not understand the connections of us. These are my comments and concerns of this idea
