assistant: I was just assuming science would be around in 2100 doing its
   thing (unknowably good, bad or other). As for solving problems,
   Nature seems satisfied  *ENOUGH*   with our progress along
   whatever unknown agendas *might* be active; and not (yet) hurried
   to zap any "ineptitudes" with newer guidance to aid our thinking
   journey.  Also what you CALL "ineptitude"  might be a BEST way.
   YOU don't have the foggiest notion of what your "ineptitude"
   claim would effect  "long term", and your short term take is as
   subject to contentions as anything nudged about.!
      I might inquire what you suggest as replacing the "political",
   "capitalistic" and "science" with?  Share with us your GIANT candle
    of "EPTITUDE" ?
     First time one of my humble insight inquiries was so
     associated !!!
                     .........??? ... !!!
     A DNA check might be interesting ....sometime later when we're
     better able to correlate gene structure meanings.
 ...a bad seed during one phase' of being could be a good seed during
 another phase, and v-versa. ....ALL is very relative...............
 As most all of the new science techniques are available within the
 knowledge base of the planet, we might ??? assume genetic manipulation
 a normal-ish evolutionary outcome. If otherwise? ..........then otherwise!
   Probably could, but I don't know any point of it beyond research.
  ... Most many thanks for making so much so clear...
