Yesterday's Tomorrow

Dear Wanderer,

What if I told you that in about 12 years from the moment in time you’re in right now, modern science will have made significant leaps in genetic development? That geneticists will start to exploit genetic data in ways that you can only begin to imagine? That the gene editing technology will give scientists more than the ability to play God, but the power to actually be Him? Do I have your attention now?

–I should, because it’s all true.

First, let me applaud your ingenuity, since your reading this can only mean one thing: you have found the heart shaped golden locket and decrypted the microdot hidden within it. Throughout this message, I am going to say some things that you might not understand, but I need you to keep an open mind. For instance, time travel exists, but not forward from any point in time you’re already in and not the way you think. Organic material would never survive going through time, but an inanimate object, such as: a rock, a book…a necklace…could…and that brings us to where we are now.

Let me paint you a picture. The 22nd century is chalked full of genetically modified humans whose genetic makeup has been completely rebuilt at the basic molecular level. Nothing is left to chance. Almost every sickness and disease known to man has been edited out—meaning; people are no longer afflicted by allergies, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, metabolic disorders, autoimmune diseases, or genetic disorders. People can still grow old and they haven’t found a cure for the common cold yet, but thanks to genome editing technologies, even big time killers like cancer have been permanently eliminated—but at what price?

Geneticists have finely tuned their abilities to manipulate human DNA to an alarming degree. That said, foetal interventions are performed while in the embryonic state. Genetic material is added or removed as easily as one could install or uninstall what you would call an ‘app’ for whatever device springs to your mind. They’ve separated key components within the human genome effectively doing away with so called “undesirable traits,” such as: violence, aggressiveness, anger, defiance, etc…so where do we draw the line? –Free will?

Our scientists continue to frame the dialogue around this kind of gene editing in a positive way. They have condensed everything to do with genetic engineering into one word: Precision. Through the use of Precision editing, human subjects have been deemed ‘superior’ for various reasons. One being that: they simply cannot experience depression or anxiety, since every possible chemical imbalance has been accounted for and corrected. Subjects brain functions have also been altered in a way to better manage stress, thus destructive emotions are abandoned almost immediately. In fact, the genes responsible for heightened emotion, otherwise known as over-sensitivity, have also been eliminated. As a potential consequence, many human subjects of Precision are emotionally impaired.

I’m talking about people who will never experience negative feelings that make them dislike themselves or others. These people will never react inappropriately or behave harmfully towards themselves or anyone else. They will never be impacted by insecurities or dangerous emotions resulting from obsessive behaviour, possessiveness, shame, guilt, or even dissatisfaction, for that matter. They do not suffer from self-esteem issues, negative body image, eating disorders, weight issues, or addiction of any kind. And there is absolutely no risk of subjects ever developing psychopathic personality traits. Most people agree that they are our betters, but there are a lot of us, like me, that believe differently.

In my time, human subjects of Precision editing grow up into voluntary slavery. They’re always pleasant, eager to please, kind, work-centered, helpful people who are unaware of their own mistreatment. They do not recognize when they’re being taken advantage of. No one defends them. Everyone lets them give and give and give until they have nothing left to give. Many of them die prematurely most often of fatigue. Their deaths are mourned for the things they will no longer be able to do for others and not for who they were, specifically, as a person.

At this point you’re probably wondering how this even came to be, what’s your roll in all this and why now? In a word: vaccines. Sometime in the 20th century rogue scientists thought it the perfect medium to smooth out the process of mass experimentation. That being said, they added a Trojan horse to the formula intended to facilitate the genetic improvement of future offspring of vaccinated people. Sufficient to say, with a whopping 96% of the population getting vaccinated, it worked like a charm. The DNA of every generation since has been easier to re-sequence.

I am part of a 4% margin and if I had to render a guess I would say that only about 0.6% (or 42 million) of us are not sociopathic. We rally against the abuse of our human ‘superiors’. We fight for equality. Unlike our certifiable brethren, we don’t want anymore human engineered slaves. It is critical to reach you now, at this very pivotal time in history, so that you can prevent the mass vaccination of the public through whatever means you deem necessary. The future of humanity depends on it.

You’re our only hope.

Awaiting a new beginning.
