Ripping off a post I just saw in the Isaac Arthur subreddit. Imagining we work out the technical ability. Examples they suggested were:

  • No periods
  • No balding
  • No nausea
  • No body odor
  • Resistance to obesity and muscle wasting

    Redesign the spine for vertical use. Don’t put the eating and breathing tubes on either side of the same flap.

      We should have tons of little breathing holes all over.

      Imagine if no one snored?

          Yeah but we would have probably made weird body suits to deal with that by now if it were that big a deal.

          We’re really, really bad at preventing problems, but were the best problem solvers we’ve ever found.

          Seems just about every other animal is great at preventing problems. We’re the opposite.
