Lack of hope is a benefit, but not for you. People thought that a revolution was impossible even before the 20th century, and still, 1917 happened.

Some people should just shut up and retire.

True, I had another comment on mind when I wrote it. Someone talking about brain implants. But that's also valid in this case.

If it will go in someone's body, it should be completely opensource, from hardware to software.

Assuming your honesty and good faith on asking this question, the real treasure on our gene pool is it's diversity. Eugenics would, by definition, reduce it. You could assume that it's a low price to pay for health, longevity, strength, intelligence, beauty and so on, but it's not that simple. Even some diseases (~~out~~ or the possibility to develop it) can be beneficial under the right circonstances, e.g. sickle cell anemia can improve resistance to malaria.

It would be great to be able to prevent most diseases before it happens and treat it if it happens (for free, in a universal health care system), but eliminate the genes would be a very bad idea, a healthy specie needs it's diversity to avoid extinction, and we sometimes feel like we are above that risk, but we are not that special.

I think you can block entire instances as a user. But, if not, you can create your own instance and federate with only the instances that you like. Far more work though.

Here: using Thunder.
