Transhumanism: Hacking the Human DNA

Partial transcript:

"Now, in the past, may tyrants and governments wanted to do it, but nobody understood biology well enough and nobody had enough computing power and data to hack millions of people, neither the Gestapo nor the KGB could do it but soon, at least some corporations and governments will be able to systematically hack all the people. We humans should get used to the idea that we are no longer mysterious souls. We are now hackable animals. Data might enable human elites to do something even more radical than just build digital dictatorships. By hacking organisms, elites may gain the power to reengineer the future of life itself. because once you can hack something, you can also usually engineer it. And if indeed, we succeed in hacking and engineering life, this will be not just the greatest revolution in the history of humanity. This will be the greatest greatest revolution in biology since the beginning of life 4 billion years ago. For 4 billion years, nothing from the mental changed in the basic rules of the game of life. All of lives for 4 billion years, dinosaurs, amoebas, tomatoes, humans were subject to the laws of natural selection and to the law of organic biochemistry, but this is now about to change. Science is replacing evolution by natural selection with evolution by intelligent design, not intelligent design by some god above the cloud, but our intelligent design and the intelligent design of our clouds - the IBM cloud, the Microsoft cloud, these are the new driving forces of evolution, and at the same time, science may enable life, after being confined to 4 billion years to the limited realm of organic compounds, science may enable life to breakout into the inorganic realm. So after 4 billion years of organic life shaped by natural selection, we are entering the era of inorganic life shaped by intelligent design. So, that's my data about my DNA, my brain, my body, my life, does it belong to me or some corporation or to the government or perhaps to the human collective?"
