Breeding humans is like gene pools in general. <Are we seeing proto- culture revolution tee-ed up in the U.S.? Is it possible that the melting pot had failed to melt and the bottom of the pot not holding?> If you want pure-bred super sniffer dogs to detect one molecule per quadrillion, then one needs to select for that specialisation. But if you don't yet have the gene for that molecule, you need to have a huge gene pool in which the right mutation and selection is more likely to happen. A billion Made in China clones acting like toy marching soldiers in perfectly aligned rows, with exact heights and identical faces, and instantly obedient has a certain strength and usefulness. A billion motley USA and co mongrels squabbling and fighting going in all directions out of control has a certain advantage. Since cultures have never been constant and gene pools have never been steady, we are in the midst of a 10 billion person maelstrom of DNA and cultures from which something will emerge in 100 years, overlaid by the invention now launched of mobile Cyberspace [your're welcome] with It [tm] aka AI [you're welcome] as the thinking department, integrated [for now] with the human brain and body acting symbiotically with It. 10 billion is comparable with all the humans who have lived since the end of the last ice age. That's how many have been alive and going fast since the dawn of the Cyberspace revolution about 60 years ago. It's strange that it's all going down now while we're here to take part. But I suppose any time seemed like a big deal at the time. The first canoe to arrive in New Zealand to a land with no mammals, let alone humans, after a thousand years of sailing from south east China out into the Pacific Ocean must have seemed like quite an adventure. The first Aztec ancestors to cross the Bering Strait into the Americas were certainly adventurers, or escapers. "Holy cow, look what we have here!! Never ending wealth with infinite animals to eat. I'm going to live in Florida! I'm sick of winter. I'm going to live in an air-con condo and eat alligators and bask in the sun." I think that Made in China rank and file marching will break up into the more usual Made in China noisy rabble, and the chaotic rabble of Made in USA will become more orderly as it was 100 years ago. There seems never to have been much constant in the human realm, though on a day to day basis in a single lifetime things can seem quite normal and even boring at times. It certainly won't just stay as it is. We don't know where we're going but we're on our way. Meanwhile, quarter of a century in the 3rd millennium has already gone. I have no idea really what will happen in USA's bottom melting out melting pot. It could go DOGE MAGA or it could go meltdown Fukushima, Chernobyl style. Dr Strangelove remains on hair trigger alert with maniacs galore wanting to go full scale deflection in Russia. Made in China MADness over conquering Taiwan is another loony idea. If Taiwanese go fully independent, it doesn't matter at all. New Zealand went fully independent long ago, though the last vestige of King Charles being titular head of government remains. Not many people cared. It did inconvenience dumb Kiwis who no longer had British Subject freedom to roam the Great and Glorious British Empire, but UK carried on regardless, doing their own dopey things. Mqurice
