Just 'spitballin The Future. We don't want to live forever... Of Course we do,but we've got to from
point A before getting to point B.
by Joe B. Life Extension Calls Church is over,some work at the office by lunch time means no Free food at Glide’s or St. Anthony’s. Trail mix snacks will do until the extra money earned this bright, blinding summer-in-winter’s day trick of San Francisco is in my hand. Earlier in the morning I began rereading a science fiction adventure with continuing character who’s immortal lives span from the early pre recorded history to a far futuristic space faring humanity. Though it’s a tale well written with characters somehow through an evolutionary quirk found themselves at first to be singularly blessed or cursed with unending life not just very long extraordinary life spans but truly immortal though death may come by misadventure,accident,in the course of time but rejuvenating, regenerative,powers they know nothing of. They live,learn,love, raise families,fake old age before others find they are deathless beings. I wonder if somewhere in our predawn, prerecorded history it had happened once or a couple of times in give or take a few billion years. Evolution has been found not to be slow sometimes its also speeds up though the normal pattern is very slow. That certain men, women,animals,don’t die in the fullness of time only means that its improbable but impossible not in the realm of evolution arbitrary hand. These women,men wouldn’t know at first for a long time until certain things occur over time friends,lover’s,family getting ill,growing older, then dying while they themselves retain their vitality whether they are chronologically older their biological time keeps them young. If they are women plain they or pretty they outlast ephemeral mortal beauty,have many lover’s, and many children and yet their progeny may never inherit the I-gene because it is too early in the human species as mortality is the norm and our mystery woman’s Immortality gene is a recessive trait. Outliving, rapes, their hymen regenerates to virgin status as broken bones renew,serious otherwise lethal head – body damage rejuvenate though memory taught them harsh lessons on surviving the live and only pass the I-Gene to rare female or male offspring. Men in battles,wars, find mortal blows to head, hear,in back,ribs,and belly,hurt like hell but rapidly heal without scar tissue. They to may even suffer the greatest pain (besides giving birth) castration but again re-grow lost organ over time. Having many lover’s, wife’s,in their incredibly long lives. Embryo’s born,toddlers, to children,to adolescent, young adult,to mature adult marrying or dying young in street fights or in wars not able to pass their I-G’s except rarely. The tragedy of many going mad,committing suicide not knowing how to handle what nature,time, maybe a deity or deity’s has given them. Would any of you out there accidentally found this devastating truth come forward and reveal yourselves? If it were me I wouldn’t knowing some what people have don’t to each other I couldn’t in all conscious do it unless there were others as I and the search would begin. Still for me it were me mind you, the most radical course for me was to conspire to turn regular mortals into people such as myself turning rare I-G recessive into dominant but I wouldn’t want 8 – 10 –12 to 15 year old immortals what an accursed abnormal blasphemy Most of us don’t believe actual walking, breathing immortals exist if they did a few of us would have a difficult time excepting this reality if it were true. For now we don’t worry because we all know everyone dies that’s the equality of life (mortality) everyone of us will die either young, middle aged, or elderly. But folks the time is quickly approaching when applied Bio Sciences continue making breakthroughs in slowing, reversing, extending, or otherwise stopping the human aging process; we already think of if as not natural but an accumulation of errors in our genes all the way up to our brains! What if 3D models down to the molecular subatomic strands of DNA was of all humanity was drawn up and there with minute precision of human’s and micro to nano sized PC’s were able to pinpoint the exact moment human beings begin falling apart? We find, have those area’s classified and begin meticulous corrections to and perfecting all molecular, chemical, genome in the 3D model human. Both woman and men can finally borrow which works best in both sexes and improve upon ourselves. While women would now naturally know why men act they way they do without men trying hopelessly to explain and could physically be men’s equals in physical strength no longer verbally out talking them because men would not know the cues subconsciously as women have been socialized as young girls. I don’t about any of you out their but I’d like to really able to spar with women verbally in an even tongue battle without smarting emotionally because of the barrage of remembered dates, facts, q+a’s, plus cutting remarks. Most Women still cannot fight men physically because of the smaller, lighter bone structure, and socialized upbringing it either has to be punches, kicks, or objects thrown at men’s most vulnerable the old nut sack, throat, back, side, or bridge of the nose which can send pieces of nose bone cartilage into the brain and any powerful enough grab-hold or kick to said sack area can easily not only cause great pain, internal damage, but is also lethal. Most guys if their honest know they’re no superman with balls of steel but only made of flesh and hold their scrotums dear. Anyone has any ideas to create the I-Gene in us all tell me about it, is it real, or does it have to made in a lab? Email: askjoe@poormagazine.org |
