< This is a somewhat radical proposal for accelerating the singularity, but
I've not heard it discussed before, so here goes.
Now that human cloning is pretty much a given.
I recommend obtaining DNA from the highest IQ people in the world.
Then solicit scientists as volunteers to each adopt one of these clones and
agree to raise them as their own.
The scientists would be relocated to a single location.
The cloned children would be raised in optimal environments given access to
books, computers and accelerated learning programs. >
Hmm. CHILDREN OF THE GENOME, by Wilmar H. Shiras, eh?
[That's only going to make sense to those lucky enough to have read, as
children, Ms. Shiras's `In Hiding' (1948) and the other stories comprising
CHILDREN OF THE ATOM, 1953]
