Man this is getting better and better. Listen, I want to be your agent. We’re going into business and you’re gonna be a star. Bruce Jenner ain’t got shit on us, kid. I put a hermaphrodite alien conspiracy theorist on stage and we’ll become rich. An androgynous overnight sensation, a diamond in the dirt, a fantastic freak of nature who wants to change the human genome. People like you are what make the universe interesting, Trixie. I’m being serious. We’re going to throw all the bible thumping conservatives for a loop. Look at Ferg, he’s so disoriented and confused he doesn’t know what to do with you. All he can do is lay awake at night in bed scratching his head and thinking ‘the lord works in mysterious ways’. What do we do with Trixie? Do we love him…I mean her, I mean it? What should we do with it? Is it wrong or right? By design or a mistake? Wtf was God thinking?
This is what I love most; when nature throws the Christian a curve ball.
Oh, and by the way, you are totally nuts, and that makes this whole thing even better. But you’re the good kind of nuts, not the violent kind, and this is why you will sell. I want in on this man. Don’t fucking turn your back on me Trixie. I discovered you first.
I thought you said you didn’t believe in the illuminerdy… I doubt there are any gods at all. Also, even if you cloned Tesla it doesn’t mean he will turn out exactly the same… influence and randomness has a part in how people turn out. Clones aren’t the same person, the clone is often weaker than the original.
How? clones are weaker than originals… How do you know he’ll have the same goals if he had a modern education? How do you know he’ll even be an inventor or engineer? There are a lot of differences between now and when he was around. He could find something he liked more, like video games or who knows what else. There were more mysteries back then, there are still a lot today… But in the past there are more. Hence discoveries.
Clones were weaker than the originals back when they were beta testing the technology 15 years ago. Now adays they have it so it’s a 100 percent match. They just don’t release this information to the public.
it’s basic science that the clone is weaker. Even with plants when you clone a plant the clone is weaker and less potent than the mother. The same can be assumed for other biological life. How do you know you’d raise him right? Raising something “right” is subjective. You still don’t know he’d even want to be an inventor if it was a clone of him in a modern day. That’s the power of influence and randomness. This is why everything is different and nothing is the same, because influences occur that are different for everyone. It partly shapes perception/personality, along with genetics… But when someone says it’s 100% genes, it’s not. Otherwise there would be a lot more sameness than difference, which isn’t the case considering everything is different.
It is basic science… we weren’t talking about off spring coming from the clone. We were talking about the clone coming from the source, of which the source is Tesla and the clone of him is not offspring, it would be a copy of him…
And how can you say he would have a healthy love of science when it’s a completely new person. A clone isn’t going to just pop out and be completely the same personality. It will be different because it will be influenced different. Everyone Tesla grew up with and the schools he went to would be gone first off, along with any influences that he may have experienced that could/would have sparked his interest in Science. Thomas Edison wouldn’t be around, so how would he get started exactly?
I believe the article addressed direct clones, and said they don’t have genetic “defects.”
We put in him a science-y environment, make him watch Hooked on Science and Bill Nye and we instill a healthy misanthropic-philanthropic attitude about the human race.
