Upgrade the race!

If we were to take a thirteen year old, we could make them stronger and more intellgent. If we were to stick them full of chemicals for this, they would, during thier peak growing times - while they are still developing into people, inject them wih stuffies to make them 'better'.

 

==========================================================

Physical muscular growth

==========================================================

 

We could do this by taking muscle mass and fidning what makes it the way it is, or, stimulating muscular mass by adding growth hormones to it - like steroids, but it would be legal as long as everyone does it, or, if laws are changed to make it easier to do.

 

We could do this by orally administering a pill that stimulates the muscles and makes them bigger. This could be done by giving out a pill that settles on cells and makes them 'bigger' or expands them, making the cells themselves 'bigger'. It would make everything inside the peson bigger too, so it could be a growth hormone, that makes everything grow more, or, we could take the foods that make muscles grow, without exercise even, bigger. We could take the growth hornome and break it down into major parts, and then grow them in tubes or something to make them work faster. Easy access baby!

 

==========================================================

Mental stimulation

==========================================================

 

We could take the nervous system and make it better electrically and impulse wise by jacking the brain up with fibre optics, as they conduct the mental impulses better. Of course that would require surgery, so that is off the table completely.

 

Or, we could take the brain itself and see what we could do with it. If we were to take the brain itself, it would travle faster if there was an ideal pathway to travel along. We only use ten percent of our brains, so, we could kill eighty percent of the brain mass and make it simpler to use, much easier to regulate or process information.

the catch is that these things usually have undesirable side effects. You must factor that in with utility calculation

You are not wrong there. No buts.

 

If we take away from a computer excess matter, and halve the processing area, will it still work? Killing brain cells is something that smokers do too. If you can kill one cell, you can kill many, you can kill eighty percent of them and still have a lot of ram to use.

 

Engineering then, if you halve the space of an engine it will not stop functioning electrical impulses, in fact it will be easier for the nervous system to function in a confined lessened space.

 

If you were to compare a baby sea urchin to a bigger one, they both work?

Please clarify... you mean cutting in half, or decreasing the volume (And increasing density) and working in a smaller space.

 

You're starting to move into 'not even wrong' territory

Dissolving brains with ingested or injected chemicals, of course.

We only use ten percent of our brains <-- nonsense. We use about 10% nominally, and not always the same areas.
