The Unintended Consequences of Playing God

Our attempts to make scientific and technological advances often leave us confronting the harm they can do. Genetically modified food can make food more accessible, but it threatens economies and environments in places like the Congo. Lab-grown meat reduces the emissions of greenhouse gases but puts farmers out of business.
These are the unintended consequences of playing God.

This was excellent! I have a brilliant Chinese National student living with me. In order to develop critical thinking skills, I've worked with him to do a quick mental exercise: Whenever he hears or reads about an issue, he thinks up 3 pros and 3 cons. Absolutely nothing is black and white. He's gotten really good at perceiving nuance and seems amazed other people don't.

I think the idea of “playing God” isn’t even comprehensible to us. At the end of the day; We manipulate already existing matter and energy. We fundamentally cannot create new energy from ourselves, because it would contradict the first law of thermodynamics.

[@kissthesky40]

Or destroy it.

[@FrostyTheOne_]

That law doesn't work for radioactive particles In particle accelerators, scientists have accelerated particles to near light speed and collided them with each other destroying the particles in the process. There is also science regarding anti version of particles existing which leads to creating mass out of nothing.

[@FrostyTheOne_]

Coming from a physics professor (not me) "Thanks to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle (∆Ε∆t > ħ/2), we can violate energy conservation over a very short time;"

[@p.t.557]

@@FrostyTheOne_ Neat that you read a bit about this, but that is fundamentally wrong. We know that energy can be converted to matter and the other way around. That is whats happening with matter and anti-matter. they anihilate each other to create energy, slightly similar to a nuclear fission reactor. Same happens in a particle accelerator.

[@AuthenticBranding]

I am always genuinely confused how we continuously create advancments and have people complain, and yet at no point do we ever learn that things get better over time, and yet there is always someone who allows their fear of change to hold us back.

[@United_Wings]

Facts

[@AbdelkaderMoussaoui-fq3dq]

although in their defense some changes can be for worse. it is vague but reasonable

[@AuthenticBranding]

@@AbdelkaderMoussaoui-fq3dq I understand, however I think there are two questions. First question is this: is it really bad or does it just lead to change? As we eliminate jobs for farmers, we need to take care of them, but removing a hard labor job leading to jobs that are better for people is, in my book, a good thing. The second question is this: does doing something new really make us loose everything from before? Email doesn't cut our ability to write letters. In fact it makes things special in its own way. So overall, I would say the majority of changes create overall positive change that doesn't eliminate what came before.

It shouldn't be something to fight against, I mean exploring ways to better the world, it's in human nature to do so, I think we are so concerned about not changing nature that we are loosing our own nature. We should preserve that as well. The fear of what may come should not stop us from exploring possibilities of what could be 😢

[@p.t.557]

Most of this video is just supporting free healthcare and an univeral income. NASA only uses half a cent per person per year, and have made technology like the phone camera or advancements in computers. They are part of the reason we know as much about climate change as we do. The problem lies more in "Humans dont really need to work anymore" rather than "This could put people out of their jobs". There are reasons companies now use the four day work week and lowered the working hours. The only problem is profit seeking companies that would rather watch the world burn before they loose a percent of profit.

@@richardscathousenah, he just acknowledges that the issue of people losing jobs isn’t as big as it’s made out to be. In America we have more empty homes than homeless and could feed the world with what we waste. Housing, healthcare, and income all being universal isn’t a pipe dream it’s actually more than possible. The issue isn’t that we can’t produce what’s required for those to exist it’s that our entire economy and political system prioritizes profit over everything. The profit motive only serves the interests of cooperate higher ups, share holders and politicians. No one should have access to a billion dollars when others need to work 2 jobs to eat 3 times a day. Especially not when those billions were produced through the labor of the employees, and the profiteers simply set the system up to syphon the value of their labor into their own profit margins. Profit is simply unpaid wages, idc if the ceo had the idea, it isn’t them producing the product or service, it’s them having control of the means of production while backed by a system that’s still trying to convince people 15 an hour would ruin the economy so they can continue to farm us for our labor.

I'm happy the EU has a very hard stance against these developments. GMO foods are available only in limited form, and with heavy restrictions. Opposite to the US's FDA...the EU's Food Safety Organisation requires ALL food products to be proven safe before they're allowed. There's strict products regulations anyways, to ensure that producers strive towards better products. Sure, there are lots of GM altered food products, but overall the food quality is pretty high.

Allow me to present my opinion my self. I respect your opinion, and respectfully answer back. My understanding of your use of the terms "play like a god" is: I have power over some thing or some human and I exercit that power. I agree with it, and allow me to expand this understanding with the statement that to play like a god(or to play like God) means that humans define what is good and what is bad. Example: God forbids something because it's bad, but because I redefine what is actually bad, I go against God and say that it is actually good. As I have understood your definition, I think it doesn't apply in all context and situations because God Himself says that the rich have to help the poor. Based on your definition and mine, I think that advancement in meddical field is great. We have that capacity and we use it. Though, I do not agree with CRISPR, Meat lab and other altering tehnologies because they have a flawed motivation behind. I think you question fits you video and this context, Just because I can, I shall make it happen?

For one moment do we agree that if we ‘play’ God that whatever that might be is something that’s interwoven into that God’s creation? It’s astonishing this kind of thinking.

Playing God is an old thought of the old ways. We are not playing God, because there is no God. We are doing what humans do, innovate and improve, and move the species forward.

[@averyparker9110]

Isnt 'unintended consequences" the same as the slippery slope? I remember you saying that thinking is a fallacy....

[@dewanpretorius]

Forget about the budget of space exploration, look at the American military budget 😂. To be fair, to some extent that's also just how a lot of advancements are made, like how F1 racing advancements eventually make it into normal cars, same with military tech (i.e. gps), hopefully it'll be the same with gene editing where it gets more and more accessible as the technology develops. Lastly, I think it's important not to get lobster syndrome: when you catch lobsters always put more than one in the bucket and they'll stop each other from climbing out. In the same way, progress is a process and doesn't happen homogeneously (everywhere at the same time at the same pace), and if we stop each other from doing better because we can't have it now as well, no one will (Ps. I also get that people can just be greedy, but I think that's another matter)

Thats the problem with the concept of "god". People are scared to live up to our full potentional out of fear of disrespecting a fairtale. Weren't playing god. We're making the most of physics and the physical properties that govern our plane of existence.

We should focus on saving and perserving endangered species we humans brought to endangerment and destruction in the first place. People struggle with surviving and affording basic things like food and shelter.thats why birthrate is going down. system is flawed bcs rich just get richer and poor are struggling with minimum wages thst aren't enough. In my country farmers are struggling and protesting bcs their work isn't payed enough and government doesn't support them. Inports stuff and buy farmers produce for dirt cheap.

100mill/year is so insignificant. Science is the one thing that's reliable and I don't agree in the slightest with the thought that we should limit or, even worse, reverse our knowledge. There are trillions being spent every year on military and yet we can't invest more into science??

I don’t think the examples in the beginning are humans trying to play God. I think playing God is impossible for humans to

[@Dave_of_Mordor]

what do you mean impossible for humans to play god? that's for our descendants to decided

[@Justincase888]

Yes, I also believe that it is impossible. Regardless, the attempt to do so is still wrong.

[@radfoo72]

GMO has similar controversy to CRISPR. Playing God.

[@kinkonte]

Seeing as you have no idea of God's intentions, you couldn't possibly know in a million years what playing God would entail.

[@itsaaron6423]

Perfect example would be of Herod getting eaten by a worm for taking worship and adoration that deserves to God.

[@itsaaron6423]

We are beings created to worship .

[@kinkonte]

@@itsaaron6423 The desire for worship is sadistic.

Global life expectancy was not 29. That was average because most people didn't make it past 5 years old. If you made it into adolescence you lived a longer life

Would be nice if this system changes, but so far it is ingrained in how our society and nature works, there will be always a winner, and a loser. because if everything would be equally distributed, there would be no selection

[@TheJuiceHD]

We are not playing god, god created man in the reflection of him so technically every human on earth has a piece of god in them , that’s why we can turn our thoughts into reality, that’s why we have the power to create something in the reflection of ourselves which “AI” was born now if we created something in the reflection of us then we must be some version of a god right?🤔
