1. Sounds intriguing. Not sure how far that theory about changing them can be taken, or what exactly would be changed, or if it should be. Seems potentially dangerous on one front. But, lining up something as such, in line with a program's goal, could probably be a net benefit in theory. Bit of apprehension...but with more clear information on the scope, and proof it actually works, that may be remedied.
The user's own subconscious would be responsible for not just executing that scripting, but knowing what to adjust and how. I'm not giving instructions to alter specific genes in specific ways. So far I see that the models are indicating that your subconscious can apparently implement repairs to your genes, and that adding in instructions in MHS v2 to do so will improve the program and how well it works for people. So that's why I brought this up. With the subconscious doing these adjustments, it is child's play to state that any and all adjustments be made only if they are safe to make.
This is not something that will be added to or used in every program, and those programs that include genetic adjustment scripting will be clearly marked as Type G. If you're not comfortable with using it, then you'll be free to decide whether or not you want to.
Quote:2. However, it sounds like a herculean task and nowhere near practical. Especially since something like DMSI continues to struggle mightily due to "fear" as you say. So, if such a deadlock still exists there, just how practical is it to try to rewrite someone's genes to ally with the script while it continues to under perform?
Maybe more of a focus should be made towards full execution of the program(s) as is first. Adding this in as an "add-on enhancement" afterwards, or alongside but with the main focus on executing the program.
Otherwise, I feel it's like trying to develop nuclear energy before inventing fire. The reach exceeds the grasp.
If I was attempting to personally instruct your subconscious on all of exactly which genes to adjust and in exactly what ways, it would be preposterous for me to think I could succeed. Not even the best experts in genetic science know how to do that in all cases yet. But I'm not doing that. I'll be, when and where this is used, giving instructions to the subconscious to adjust your genes as is safe to do in order to enhance or achieve a specific goal. Your subconscious, if it knows how and what and has the ability to, will handle the rest.
To be clear, this will not apply to all titles and goals. It will only be potentially useful under certain circumstances, and only be used where the models indicate that it is safe and useful to do so.
Your comment about underperformance is just a dig. There's no reason we would make DMSI a Type G program, and DMSI is experimental. We also know that other programs get very different results. So there was no need for that comment other than to try to get my goat, I think.
