THE HEDONISTIC IMPERATIVE
Heaven on Earth?

"...at some
momentous and exactly datable time, probably well before the end of
the third millennium, the last unpleasant
experience ever to occur on this planet will take place. It will be,
perhaps, a (purely comparatively) minor pain in some (to us) obscure
marine invertebrate. For just as the smallpox virus was systematically
hunted down to extinction, so the precise molecular signature(s) of
aversive experience and its predisposing genes can predictably be hunted
down and wiped out as well. The application of nanotechnology, self-reproducing
micro-miniaturised robots armed with quantum supercomputer processing power,
and ultra-sophisticated genetic engineering, perhaps using retro-viral
vectors, can assure the eradication of the root of all evil in its
naturalistic guise throughout the living world. Eventually, the global ecosystem will be redesigned. The vertebrate genome will be rewritten. The advent of the post-Darwinian era will mark a
major transition in the evolution of life on earth and beyond..."
