what would a realistic ideal human body be like, would it be resistant to cancer, resistant to autoimmune dieases, no ageging etc.
Proper logging, to easily identify problems.
Also root privileges. I should be able to edit the config files in
/etc/What about potential rm -rf problems?
They would be less messy than current options.
the existence of a filesystem in the human body implies being able to mod and recompile body parts as you see fit
Food hole different from breath hole.
Can you imagine the hotdog eating contests?
I think the concept of an ideal may be flawed. What is ideal changes based on what the current situation is.
That goes for the ideal human body as well as the ideal human philosophy. We need to evolve constantly to fit with our current situation.
People get fat because famines killed people a lot. People have sickle cell anemia because sickle cell traits protect against malaria which killed people a lot. A lot of cancers are caused by mechanisms that protect against things that kill people a lot. Different personality traits that look suboptimal exist because those strategies were successful over time. Yeah these traits look bad when that situation doesn’t exist, but they’re much more likely to help in the aggregate than to hurt particularly with stuff like cancers which tend to kick in after an individual has reproduced so don’t have as much of an evolutionary impact.
A lot of the same goes for philosophies – people tend to follow what works, and what works at one time doesn’t work all the time – ask gen z as they’re given advice by boomers.
All this is one good reason to be wary of genetic engineering. We’ll get rid of all the “bad traits” and be wiped out because some of them were there for good reasons we don’t understand.
Fix the stupid fucking spine!!!
One little incident and you’re in pain for the rest of your life? Shitty design flaw.
The knee needs a complete remodel as well. The whole thing reeks of reappropriating an old 4-leg design for a 2- leg model, and that’s just never going to work well.
Well the prototype wasn’t even legs, so maybe we should just come up with an entirely new model?
I vote hexapod.
Hexapod is bestapod
yeah the spine has shittiest design tbh, i would defin prefer a syntheic spine that has improvements over an organic one
The entire skeleton is basically just technical debt
It’s worse than that, though. All the little squishy bits and nerves that connect to your brain!
Migraines, muscle weakness, paralysis… all that stuff can be caused because of your stupid spine!
Brain stem? Also connected to your spine.
Booooo!!
Knew it even before i opened it
Symmetrical face, large breasts, narrow waist, wide hips.
And a massive penis that is capable of multiple orgasms.
What are the conditions for this body to operate in and what’s the purpose of said body?
i mean a realistic ideal body for living in earth, right now the bodies we have suffer from said conditions ex autoimmune diseases, cancer etc.
What part of the world, and who the owner is/what type of life he is meant to lead?
Scorching Canadian desert, stuck infront of a computer, and musy convince the boss they are being busy and productive while browsing memes.
desert
Small frame, rather lean, good circulation system, powerful kidneys.
stuck infront of a computer
Add strong back musculature + thin, chiseled arms and hands.
musy convince the boss they are being busy and productive while browsing memes.
It depends on the intelligence of the boss + exact type of the job, but “Big Brain”, or rather complicated and efficient neural network is implied.
any part of the world, your average joe basically, normal life.
Would you agree that a liberal, gay, rocket physicist similar to Alan Turing, living in luxurious part of Cali, meant to soon embark on a one-way-ticket voyage to MARS considers exactly the same type of body as “perfect”, as a conservative woman, blue collar worker, living in the poorest district of Calcutta, soon to be wed and hoping for massive amount of healthy children?
Alan Turing wasn’t a rocket physicist
Then it’s good I said “similar to” and not “just like”.
Which is what I exactly meant.
according to evolution itself it would be a crab
I’d say fully functional until it’s completely broken. (no deterioration, just quit working all together)
For the rest I think we need to adapt the rest, forget one size fits all, as it usually fits just one. (when really lucky)
Actual answer, there clearly isn’t one ideal body type and that’s good for the species. I like the show Physical 100 because it does a good job showing that.
Personal answer: imagine the peak performance of humanity if balls weren’t on the outside!
Yeah, imagine all that overheated sperm and the offsprings it would give
Spermatogenesis would have evolved to work at internal body temperatures just like oogenesis has.
A theoretical perfect human would never have a disease or illness and have perfect control of their thoughts, emotions, and actions. Humans would not be born missing limbs or with extras, or with things like missing or extra chromosomes. Basically, the DNA (which would be undamaged and free of genetic anomalies) in humans would be followed perfectly by the human body.
I would even say the theoretical “perfect human” would never age beyond maturity or die of old age. Scientific observation shows the human body has built-in functions to account for this, as all cells in your skin are replaced every 7 years for example, but for some unexplained reason, things start to go wrong which is part of what we call aging. Science still has not exactly determined the cause. One theory is cumulative cellular or DNA damage caused by various factors over time like stress or radiation and such. Another theory is that DNA has a pre-programmed life-span. Neither of these have any definitive scientific proof or evidence at the present time, though theories often fluctuate as more evidence is uncovered, so these may change in the future.
As to the appearance of this perfect human body, it would very much look like young healthy humans we see today. There is great variety contained in the human genome, and none of these varieties would be considered any better or worse than others. Skin tones, eye and hair color, height and weight, even intelligence levels, are all factors that can vary greatly in human DNA.
Probably some kind of flesh monster like the Thing
Everyone would serve cunt
A realistic, ideal human body is one that procreates and passes genetic information to their offspring. That’s all.
