ANTI-racist Case Studies: Inexact Replication for Reparations

WARNING: GENETIC ENGINEERING IS DANGEROUS. 1)This ANTI-racist essay rejects both racialism and racial essentialism, beginning with epistemology, physics, chemistry, biology, and then social sciences, of course with some overlap. Humans have, AT LEAST PARTIAL, free will or they could not fundamentally choose to focus on life, thus all reason would be futile “And if humans lack free will then the reasoning behind anything would not exist”(Ohnemus 2023). Thus self-evident PARTIAL free will debunks biological determinism. Biological determinism, at least in this essay and many other senses, also means scientific materialism. Thus, humans probably have souls, OR AT LEAST hereditarianism is wrong. Science only approximately derives from philosophy because direct derivation would be a non-sequitur. Plus, the relationship between science and philosophy is very complicated. Philosophy speculates more and changes upon scientific discovery. Yet science rests upon philosophical postulates, such as the philosophy of science. 2) As a cohesive thesis elaborates, certain deceased Northwestern Europeans, who NEVER reproduced, either owe several reparations to the lesser privileged racialized populations OR were so enlightened, they deserve to have their traits expanded. Exact replication(both phenotypical and genotypical) not only is probably impossible, but also may excessively reduce diversity. Thus, 3D printing more progressive(traits and genes) and recessive(traits and genes) INexact replicas of those certain, and other, Northwestern Europeans is imperative for civilization and progress. Perhaps following the mass automated reproduction, to mitigate risks, the recessive and progressive privileges may be distributed to the consenting individuals, of racialized populations with lesser privileges. 3) Beginning from first principles does not mean reductionism. On the contrary, boiling down to the most fundamental truths and then reasoning up, while acknowledging and mapping nuance, may be the surest avoidance of both reductionism AND contradictions, if one simultaneously recognizes and charts counterintuitive reality. If diseases can reasonably correlate to genes with a parsimonious relationship then, other traits can too. Potentially one can describe a dead person’s traits to a machine(maybe through photos, recordings, verbally, etc.) then, the machine can at least create one of many possibly corresponding genotypes. Humans, at least typically, only have 46 chromosomes, so certain traits parsimoniously match with certain genes. Even humans with more, or maybe less, than 46 chromosomes probably still have a close enough number for their traits to be parsimoniously matched with corresponding genes. Plus if previous information on the dead subject’s genotype is available(DNA of relatives, lineage DNA, ethnic DNA, populational(maybe racialized) DNA, general human genome, genealogy, etc.) data, both of the particular deceased person, one can either clone that dead subject(having deduced the genotype) or 3D bio-print another human with the same traits the deceased is remembered for, plus silver lining, added genetic diversity. One could 3D bioprint an in-exact replica of the deceased individual through the deduced genotype, out of bioink materials composing DNA, RNA, and proteins(perhaps sugar or other elements that chemically make deoxyribonucleic acid), while a bioreactor reinforces the design, and rheology, of the intended human. If CRISPR can both cure, and accidentally cause, mutations, then it can potentially and intentionally distribute recessive and progressive privileges by both somatically, and germinally, mutating people. CRISPR could even distribute both recessive and progressive privileges, of being enlightened liberal Northwestern Europeans, to 3D bioprinted people before they are printed. 4) Selectively 3D bioprinting human individuals for humanitarian ANTI-racist reparations is key for preventing a phenotypic revolution because recessive ≠ useful to machines. Plus, by 3D bioprinting, in-exact human replicas, of deceased individuals, machines won’t be able to launch a phenotypic revolution, because the automated reproduction will lack the linearity. And the philosophy, of paying ANTI-racist reparations, requires a level of empathy that is uniquely human and not automatable.
