The point I try to make is that CRISPR is table top tech. Manufacturing of modern goods and services is table top tech. It isn't only folks like Kill Gates that can use CRISPR to vaccinate us against meat consumption (which I think would kill us), or manufacture light switch cover plates. You can do both of those things, and so can I. Humanity has only history to go by, but history is not the future that is coming, and when something that affects us all changes substantially, the future will not resemble history anymore.

I, believe it or not, am a traditionalist. When I am confronted with something significantly changing I often cling to the old, because I am familiar with it. It was dependable for me, and the change hasn't been accorded the same level of consideration, making it an unknown quantity I perceive as a threat to my security. But I have broken ground on an aquaponics greenhouse just this month. I am leaving my comfy reliance on store bought food, albeit gradually. The reality of my dependence on undependable providers has convinced me of the necessity to become independent of other providers. If I don't want to eat bugs - and I don't - I will have to grow my own food.

It is precisely because of Kill Gates that I am. He wants me to eat fake food, and I am confident I don't want to. Since he has the power to control centralized production, my only choices are to eat what he sells, or to make what I eat. Thank God for aquaponics! It is the same thing with CRISPR. The jabs are genetic therapy, and I don't want that therapy. When Gates and his ilk are discussing forcibly changing my immune system to make me allergic to meat using parasites, the only things I can do are to suffer the change, which is likely fatal, or use CRISPR to prevent that change, or change me back after I am changed by the parasitic injection.

I absolutely do not intend to become allergic to meat, so in the event such a thing is unveiled, I will do everything in my power - without reservation - to prevent being immunized, or to de-immunize myself, and I will have only CRISPR to use for that purpose. As you say our leaders seem to be only capable of doing evil, so I thank God I can use these tools to undo it, and to do good.

You are right about Psyche. I cannot employ 3D printers capable of constructing a spacecraft of aluminium alloys today. I cannot personally send a mission to Psyche to mine it of the platinum, rhodium, and other valuable metals there. But that price tag of ~$1M for the 3D printer that can construct a spacecraft of aluminum alloys will not remain out of reach for long. Just as the first automobiles were only available to millionaires, but now can be purchased by most people, or how the first cell phones were only made for millionaires to install in their limousines, but now are available even to the homeless, this capacity is going to become widely available.

It won't become available to me in time to enable me to mine Psyche, but I am certain sure it will be available to my grandkids. One of the key technologies that will be fundamental to our coming productive abilities is AI. Just as Kill Gates didn't write the Windows 1.0 OS code, because he had a horde of coders to do it for him, I won't have to personally design the DNA I will use CRISPR to combat the ticks, because I will use AI to do that. AI will eventually manage the plantings in the aquaponics greenhouse to produce menus of meals I intend to enjoy. AI will design the spacecraft my grandkids build in their garages. Like CRISPR and 3D printers, AI is already open source and in the wild. It is the experts we will need to design these things, the labor force we will need to produce with our factories, and to maintain our equipment. We won't have to be experts in engineering, medicine, or farming to do these things when these technologies are mature anymore than we need to be today to have cell phones, meat, or cars. AI is what automates our production.

I can't cling to the past forever. Eventually, even I have to move forward and adapt to the new paradigm or leave life to them that do.
