Interesting World-Building Scenario Thoughts re Gene Edits
Childbirth and Gene Edits
In this world-building scenario, if you end up rescuing the human species from potential extinction events such as gene edits wiping out childbirth, you might get bailed out from near death by mysterious forces.
Relay Counter-Gene Edit Torpedoes
In this world-building scenario, the concept of a relay counter-gene edit torpedo is to communicate how serious gene edits are and what damage they cause and to make it clear you did not do the gene edits and carry that forward. Then what you do is you pass a financial package down to the next descendant (and they carry it forward) or via the other descendants and essentially when there is a generation that does the gene edit it explodes and destroys their finances or alternatively when they have the tech to solve the problem and they don’t it also explodes. You could also create bailout options for anti-gene edit choices and you could try to bailout the gene editor families via other arms of the family.
Defensive Anti-Gene Edit Inheritance Wording
In this world-building scenario, the concept of defensive anti-gene edit inheritance wording is that the inheritance comes to the descendant after the age range they are likely to create a gene edit to the past in.
Anti-Gene Edit Structured Trust
In this world-building scenario, the money to be given to the descendants as an inheritance into an anti-gene edit structured trust that provides a monthly payment to descendants but donates all of its money to various anti-gene edit causes if a gene edit is done from that generation or does the same when the technology is discovered to fix the problem is discovered and is not used to help the ancestor.
Findings on the Behavior of the Timeline in Relation to a Gene Edit Case
In this world-building scenario, there were several attempts to create a multiverse, all of which failed as it was possible to piece them together to form a single sequence in each case:
- Present various interactive segments of a court case out of sequence to people from the past
- Present various interactive segments of the history of the nation that does gene edits and various communications out of sequence to people from the past
- Present various interactive segments of what happened with a family line that did gene edits to the original ancestor of the family line out of sequence
- Present various interactive segments of what happened with an evacuation from Earth out of sequence to people from the past
- Time travel all over the place with a critical idea that is needed to save the human species in order to mess with the origin and the credit of who came up with the idea
- Deliberately attempt to bump out important family members of families with various interesting gene edits and neural artificial intelligence
- Piping two high octane but contradictory predictions based on future events into each other
In this world-building scenario, there were four interesting findings though:
- All nuclear wars between World War 2 and the evacuation from Earth were bumped out of the existing timeline successfully and never occurred (think of how the USSR fell or how the Bay of Pigs fiasco went)
- A different type of extinction event was also bumped out of the existing timeline successfully and never occurred
- There was a strange sequence time loop that occurred as described here
- The original credit for an important idea stayed mangled all over the place and nobody could figure out who was the origin of the idea
In this world-building scenario, the solution to time travel is therefore sequence and not the multiverse.
Strengths of Each Time Zone in the Gene Editing Time Travel Universe
In this world building scenario, the various centuries have the following strengths:
- 20th Century is good at nuclear bombs and computers
- 21st Century is good at pretending to make things up and getting away with it and artificial intelligence
- 22nd Century is good at space colonization, time travel and neural artificial intelligence
- 23rd Century is good at time travelling gene edits
- 24th Century is good at multiculturalism
Gene Edit Environment Casualties in the Future
When descendants of someone attacked by a gene edit realized that they might have been bumped out of the timeline by the incident, then it could cause great anxiety in them and it could cause a complex interaction between the various generations of the family line. It becomes a complicated interplay in an effort to fortify the family line so that they can still exist.
Streams of Nations
British stream on Earth would include the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The Hispanic stream on Earth would include Spain, Argentina, Peru and Bolivia. In this world-building scenario, there would also potentially be a British stream in space and a Hispanic stream in space. The streams would probably be as follows:
- American stream
- British stream
- German stream
- French stream
- Hispanic stream
- Italian stream
- Russian stream
- Balkan stream
- Some southeastern Asian streams
- Some east Asian streams
- Some Muslim streams
- African stream as part of other streams
The issue is that each stream would have at least one gene editor nation somewhere that gives everybody a lot of problems. Some would be earlier in the stream and some would be later in the stream.
The individual nations in space would be referred to in order of expansion. The First American House would be the USA. The Second American House would be the first American expansion to space, the Third American House would be the expansion to the next planet and the Fourth American House would be the expansion to the following planet.
