🔥 Hot Take Friday

Everybody is scared of the idea of playing God, but I think we should.

Here’s how I got to this conclusion 👇

In a nutshell, people get scared about us doing big things that feel very uncertain — and that’s a normal reaction! Our tribal brains prefer sticking to what we know, because it feels safe.

But… I feel like the idea of “playing God” is pretty vague — where do we draw the line?

I’ll leave it to the philosophy majors with their Ethics and Morality (no snarkiness intended) to actually figure out these technicalities, but here are a few things that I think people in the past would’ve argued were “playing God” but turned out to be essential to humanity’s growth and salvation: 

• Vaccines

• Genetically modified foods, or GMOs, like golden rice

• Blood transfusions

• French bulldogs... hehe

I’m not saying we should throw caution to the wind, but if we can shoot some light doses of sulfur dioxide into the air to buy us some time as we keep reducing our emissions, then hell, let’s try it!!

This doesn’t feel like the saying “play stupid games, win stupid prizes,” but more like “play big games, win big prizes,” because we’re talking about saving the world.

And this is how I’ll feel when it works out —

Until next week 🍻
