[extropy-chat] genes don't matter

[Emlyn O'regan]

btw, do people realise that genes really don't matter much any more? As long
as you get the minimal set so that you aren't severely disadvantaged, we're
in memespace nowadays. Where the raw material doesn't cut it, we can go for
hard tech. Genes matter if you are a bug or e. coli, but for us they are a
red herring. Forget the damned genes, they made themselves irrelevant as
soon as they discovered intelligence.
