"The prospect of influencing the course of human evolution through technological intervention has been thought about for a long time, but usually in an abstract or theoretical way. But that possibility has become an impending reality at a breathtaking pace in the past few years. "

I’m still curious on what they subsist on through the winter in temperate areas. I keep my feeder full of sugar water, but they have to be eating something!

I’ve seen them sit on twigs and zip out for gnats Kinda like a flycatcher. That’s coastal Oregon. Amazing what insects turn up on a sunny winter day. Have you seen the protein feeders? Fill with fruit to attract fruit flies. Fruit flies lay eggs and produce more fruit flies.

You'd need the Industrial Strength version for that. And authorized overtime.

Can this technology be used to heal heretofore untreatable diseases like neuropathy and diabetes?

I believe that it will eventually correct/eliminate all disease.

It will also be able to give a pig a human head and all sorts of crazy stuff.

GREAT IDEA, thank you!

I just happen to have a few canned blueberries that I was going to compost. I’ll put them out in a basket with some cut apples and hope for some fruit flies.

(I would have laughed in your face 5 minutes ago if you had said I would EVER hope for fruit flies VBG)

Hummingbird mothers use spider silk in their nests. They need to be careful not to be caught in the webs!
