So lets just say for sheetrock and giggles, they can clone folks now. Whom should they clone, and why should they clone them?

Does the person need to be someone that is alive, or do they have to be dead?
Dead, the people that come to mind immediately are Nicola Tesla or Isaac Newton. I think Newton may get us further than Tesla, but each would move us in different directions.
I think both would be able to move us forward by leaps and bounds technologically, but how long until the system silences them in one way or another?
Alive is more difficult to figure out. Man we are either at a shortage of great men right now, or we lack the necessary awareness.[This message has been edited by Fats (edited 02-28-2023).]

I am very glad Elon Musk is making a bunch of offspring. To me, he is the modern thinking beyond the box guy. The ultimate Capitalist, making better products at better prices than those before him. When capitalism works, all benefit.

I would love to see 100 Teslas Collaborating. He was built "different".
In the comic "Miracleman", they kinda did that type of thing. I think they also cloned a bunch of Hitlers, but since he (they) had a happy childhood, none of them became the Hitler we are aware of...

The only problem I see with cloning famous people, is that we'll expect them to be just how they were when they were originally alive. But that said, because of upbringing, influences (good or bad), they became the people they did... which would unlikely be the person they would become once cloned. It would still be a life, but ethically, we would believe that somehow this person belonged "to us," and that his life would expect to be spent improving our lives or that of humanity (because of the accomplishments of the original). That kind of pressure, from birth, would likely drive someone insane. You'd have to raise them in a way that they were unaware of whom they were cloned from, and provide them as much education as they could absorb... and who would raise them, the state? Lots of problems with this.
The better thing would be to fix the problems we have in this world that causes us to create "victims" or the behavior in culture that derides a strong work ethic... and instead, rewards it.

Or maybe Nostradomus....why? Well.....ya' got me there!
