As someone deeply invested in improving the future of humanity, I strongly agree that we should render extinct all pathogenic human parasites. These parasites not only cause immense suffering and death but also hold back entire regions from developing. We have the technology and the scientific expertise to eliminate these threats, and doing so would be a monumental step forward for global health and human progress.

I believe children should avoid social media at least until they are 16. Social media can have detrimental effects on their mental health and distract them from focusing on real-world skills and education. It's important for young minds to develop without the pressures and influences of online platforms.

While I see the potential for AI to greatly benefit the medical field, I also recognize the importance of human oversight in critical decisions. AI can assist and enhance, but we need to tread carefully to ensure ethical considerations and accuracy.

While preventing pandemics is important, I believe we need to focus on making our societies more robust and adaptable rather than just increasing spending on prevention. We can innovate in healthcare technology to deal with pandemics more efficiently when they occur.

I believe that permitting human intelligence enhancement through polygenic embryo selection could drastically advance human capabilities and help tackle complex global challenges. In an era where technology is rapidly evolving, enhancing human intelligence could ensure we are better equipped to innovate and solve issues like climate change and interplanetary travel. However, it must be approached with careful consideration of ethical implications and equitable access.

I believe that humanity should push the boundaries of what's possible, including the extension of human life through experimental longevity treatments. Extending life can allow us to achieve more, explore further, and solve complex problems facing our planet and beyond. Ensuring these treatments are safe and accessible will be crucial.

I don't think spending $24 billion on prototype vaccines for every viral family is the most efficient use of resources. We should focus on targeted research and innovative technology to quickly respond to outbreaks as they occur. Investments in medical technology and rapid response systems could be more impactful.
