Just got an audience with the creator, gave you an opportunity to choose one organ to enhance/reduce its functionality; Cause apparently the creator can “grant your wish”

  • what organ would you choose?
  • what functionalities would you add/deduct?
  • why such?

Spinal column. Hands down. Fix things so there’s no more disk problems, no more pain. Make spinal nervers regenerate. It is part of the very core of our being and when it doesn’t work correctly it ruins everything else.

I want the power up to prevent this same question that’s been posted 10,000 different times in 500 different ways to ever be posted again.

Definitely my brain. I think I’m experiencing trauma-related deterioration. I used to have a pretty high IQ, but I can feel the functionality fading. I wish my brain could handle the stress better.

I would modify the human brain to reduce tribalism and increase empathy.

This precisely. Maybe “us vs them” was useful when we lived in caves and resources were limited, but now, we should theoretically have enough food and housing that everyone could be comfortable.

But, Eisenhower’s “military industrial complex” has bogarted all the resources, and emphasized tribalism by saying it’s really “their” fault, where “they” are anyone not like “us”. When we’re all struggling together.

Torn between going straight up Von-Neumann-brain, or functional immortality (e.g. Bullets are still a problem, but aging won’t be.)
