| There are different types of intelligence, though. Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg are technologically savvy, but some people have street smarts. Some people are excellent mathematicians, but others are excellent debaters. Do you distinguish between them? Savants show this trait in spades. They have one thing that they are excellent at. But, given their overall impairment, do you consider them intelligent? Who gets to decide?!
And it also depends on the environment. If someone is prevented from learning anything, they could be seen as less intelligent, yet that has nothing to do with their DNA. What about the cases of feral children raised by animals? If they were raised by humans, they'd at the very least be of average intelligence and be able to communicate with others, barring certain mental disabilities, such as autism or mental retardation.
It's called ethanol, Deagle50. |

Yeah, but I don't mean the person's actual intelligence, I means the person's overall intelligence capacity, the person could never have gone to a school and have a really large learning and intelligence capacity and will be accepted and would survive.
Think about it, the survivors would live in a troglodyte-free world! |

| Brun, why don't you just find someone you really respect as an intelligent being, and try to get him into a dictatorship? _________________ Leon Fanboys Please Click Here Wesker is officially dead: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/100/1006931p1.html | NiteKrawler wrote: | | Jamesy wrote: | | Fine you win NightCrawler |

The problem is that those feral children never successfully adapt, though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_child Were they not raised by animals or so isolated, they may have had intelligence. It's nearly impossible for them to learn anything.
(I don't buy into the Nazi/Wesker-esque version of Darwinism.) |

 | Subject: New Info Sat Jul 09, 2011 5:13 am | |
| I've recently acquired some valuable info from a reliable source, this post might be long, so anyone who doesn't give a damn, don't read any further!!
This makes the whole plan tricky, though, it'd take years of research and it'd be very illegal.
Apparently, the DNA has combinations of different genes, which are made up of particles of Oxygen, Carbon, Phosphorus and Nitrogen in a different quantity and order, I'll come back to that later.
Ok, then, the father's/mother's genes mix together and the information is "encoded" in a way, the encoded results are the combination of particles of O, C, Phosphorus and N, in the new life form created, the encoded information is decoded and the information is used to define the characteristics of the new life form. E.g.: There was encoded information pertaining to the eyes in the DNA, the information will be decoded in the new life form and that'll determine his/her eyes. The encoded information can be anything.
For example, for who has knowledge of PHP and MySQL, when making a MySQL database for users it's recommended to encode the password, and it'll be decoded and verified when the user logs in, when you look at the database, the encoded password could be anything independently of what the password is, it could be 5685DF5585 while the password is "wesker", and it CAN'T BE READ BY ANYTHING ELSE.
It's almost the same thing with the DNA, the encoded information can't be understood, it could be anything, and it's unpredictable. The Uro Virus would test the DNA to see the intelligence levels, but now that I got this information there's almost no way that it could be tested on the DNA.
Well, maybe, we could find what in the process of reproduction decodes the info on the DNA, and add it to the virus, we could also have in the virus an encoded model that it would decode too to test the other one, that's how we'd get the average and how much the virus would be selective.
Another problem is that each system of the body reacts to mutation in a different way, that suggests that it'd be necessary to create a virus for each of the body's systems, so we have Uroboros VIRUSES, maybe combined into one agent.
Another unforeseen complication is that the virus would have to, inside the host, reproduce and get into EVERY cell of the body to make the same mutation because, for things to work and cancer not to start, every DNA in the body has to be the same, that would take too long and the immune system would eliminate the virus and create antibodies before the virus has even started its work. Well, there is a type of radiation wave used for medical purposes that disables temporarily the immune system, we could add that to the virus to make it work.
Another last problem, the virus usually affects some part of the cell (I don't know which), it doesn't ever go straight to the DNA which is located inside the nucleus, so it can't do the test nor cause mutation. However, there may be a way to modify the virus so it goes into the cell nucleus and into the DNA to do its work, well, maybe the answer lies inside viruses that exist that do cause mutation, that would have to be studied and we'd have to find what in the virus makes it go to the DNA to cause the mutations it causes.
All this research would take a lot of years to complete, and a lot of laws would be violated and how would we get human test subjects? I think that the virus should only affect humans, we'd have to find what makes a virus be effective only to one species and change the virus so it only affects humans.
Also, I think that the enhancing thing should be like this: we acquire different genes from different people prized with different talents, find a way to decode these genes and add it to some part of the virus. If the virus accepts the DNA, the information would be reencoded and would somehow replace (mutate) the original genes for the enhanced ones.
Oh, yes, and Patronum, I think that the fact that they cannot learn doesn't mean they don't have capacity, they can't learn because of the conditions they always lived in, not because of the DNA. |
