You've just given an unapologetic, megalomanical narcissist the perfect opportunity to perform some horrendous deed to crush your expectations and elicit yet another response to you.
What did I tell you yesterday?

Yes well, many people like to tell me they're disappointed in me. One reason I tend to avoid meddling in the affairs of others. My experiences compelled me to make the attempt in this case. If my not agreeing with you is a disappointment I suppose that's something you'll have to live with. A shame. |

Flaw and Perfection imply there is an "ideal" mold to aspire and the degrees of difference from this "idea" are bad.
Usually people set their respective deity as the ultimate perfection mold and aspire to be closer to it or content themselves in looking at it and punishing themselves for not being closer-equal to it.
So i find very hard to understand how people think like this when all this is an illusion and whatever is is right for it couldn-¦t be otherwise.

My statement was more in the general sense, but since you went there... if you look at the context, we're talking about bio-engineering. There is no 'aspiring' in whether or not something will work. Either it will, or it won't. If it won't, the reasons it won't are flaws. You correct them. Period.
But thanks for demonstrating my actual point. |

If it can be otherwise, it will. Until then, it isn-¦t.
Bio-engineering is a way of changing things. Things that can be changed respecting the rules of the dreamstate.
No need for better, worst, flaw, perfect, just different.
We-¦re talking about the same thing dear, remove the googles to have a better look at it.

Let's try this in simple terms: you have two sets of genes, and 2 environments.
One of these environments is the open water, at depths of about 500-2000m. The other is a temperate rain forest.
One set of genes makes a fish. The other makes a marmoset.
Each of these sets of genes is better for producing a viable life form in one of those environments than the other is. Conversely, each of these sets of genes is worse for producing a viable life form in the other environment.
Alternately:
Two sets of human genes. Each makes a human being. One of these sets of genes will, inescapably, result in a malfunctioning heart valve that will require pre-natal surgery, or the human being cannot survive outside the womb.
That's a genetic flaw. |

That is characteristic that will most likely not be perpetuated.
A flaw? Only in your artificially created conception.

Welcome to engineering.
Engineering is an endeavor. It requires purposeGÇöeven if potentially unintended. Purpose means the capacity for evaluation: 'does this serve the purpose, or no?' This engenders the relative qualities of 'better', 'worse', as well as other relative qualities as 'flawed'.
As for your little attempt at being dismissive: my framework is no more artificial than yoursGÇöand no less. 'Artificial' and 'artifice' simply mean 'made by people'. And every thought you have is made by a person: you. |

And there we go again.
I don-¦t project a purpose, so i can-¦t grasp any flaws or perfections because there is no reference point to it. You do. I try to show to you that if you look away from this reference you-¦ll not see anything, you put your googles on to avoid seeing what couldn-¦t be clearer.
I can understand that your mind created a reference, i can understand that by these parameters you can articulate whatever it is that you articulate, i can understand that is appears hard to let go of it otherwise you won-¦t have any ground to build upon and this feeds your fear.
And since this is how it is, all is fine.

Except, of course, that by inserting yourself into a discussion that had a specific context, you take on that context. And within the context of the discussion, genetic markers for poor vision qualify as flaws.
But as I said: your general inability to grasp anything comes as no surprise to any of us. |

Even within that framework you can look at it without pre-conceptions.
A characteristic that is not perpetuated. You can reduce the description to this sentence.
If you put more into it, it is you that is putting, then it becomes about you,not the characteristic. "I Arrendis think due to my concepts and memetic framework that not being able to be replicated is a flaw, hence, this characteristic is classified as such."

Except, of course, that that's not the case at all. Congratulations, you've gotten hung up on the later example of the viability of life forms, and lost the fact that what was being discussed is that capsuleer training screens for genetic markers for poor vision. It has nothing to do with whether or not the characteristic is perpetuated, only that the characteristic, by nature of screening, es evaluated and found to be a defect, or 'flaw', that renders that genome unacceptable for capsuleer implants.
Soooo... no, you can't, because you're not talking about perpetuating the genome, you're talking about whether or not the genome is acceptable. |

Not having an arbitrary sight index excludes you from being a capsuleer.
How many adjectives did this sentence need?

You misjudge the level of investment I have in you as well. Not surprising, I'm sure you know very little of me beyond the reputation that I am aware of. I'm stating that I found your behaviour disappointing when so many have spoken so highly of you. I stated what I felt would be a better recourse than encouraging a lunatic. You can do whatever you like. It's one of the wonderful freedoms we have as capsuleers.
Unlike many, I'm not delusional in the belief that my words will have an impact on the behaviours of people that I barely interact with.
I leave manipulating people to others.

I think, as you yourself have said: a) this matter involves your homeworld, b) you feel somewhat responsible, and c) you are somewhat less dispassionate about, as a result.
If I didn't understand that, I wouldn't have agreed to let go the specific topic you asked about.
I can certainly understand bristling when someone suggests you should shut up. My own reply to you on the topic was not my originally-drafted one. I think it was about my seventh.
What I'm saying to you now is: you are emotionally invested, and reacting emotionally. It's all very understandable, but that doesn't make for the kind of consistency in position you generally like to take.
Should you be quiet? That's entirely up to you to decide, and I think you're more than capable of making a considered, informed decision when you're thinking about it, and not just reacting. Should you be offended when someone asks something of you that you've asked of someone else? That's where the issue of pots and kettles comes in. If you don't feel this is a matter where you can be silent, then don't. But if you're listing 'please be quiet' as an offense against you, then you need to evaluate your own actions as well. That's all.

By me, over a period of several months. You might actually achieve transcendence then. I'm serious. I've done it before.
Well, I did more than *******, obviously, but still. Makes me kinda wish Nauplius had a thing for me instead of my friends.
