Thread Name: BS: A gene weapon for peace
Subject: RE: BS: A gene weapon for peace
We essentially entered the Nuclear age without "wisdom". As Burke in his book Coonections points out, no invention is derived in a linear fashion nor wisdom a common factor in the use of technology.

Hypothetically lets imagine we are going to end up with a genetic weapon of one sort or another be it a peace behavior weapon or an ultra violence behavior weapon. Lets also (correctly) assume this research is going on right now.

Will violence always be triumphant over peace?
What would be a happy ending for a novel dealing with this good over evil gene war?

I have outoned some plot devices for such a novel but I do not yet see where it could or should lead.
