But I am saying it can’t be handwaived like that. Its like suggesting that humans develop time travel before steam power; and well before other things like space travel, flight.
I was trying to address:
Is this scenario at all likely?
And saying no. We are pretty slow at technology ourselves but the chance of doing brain-manipulations before growing a brain without a body is relatively low.
And also assuming that biology is not going to throw disease-organisms onto the plate of any long-sustaining life planet, seems unlikely.
I don’t recall anyone mentioning germs making the Super-Happys in 3 worlds collide unrealistic. Went straight to talking about the implications.
My first thought about this post was that D Malik must watch Stephen Universe, and want to start a conversation about the Gems’ Homeworld’s tech’s moral implications without getting into discussions about people’s Gemsonas and ships and whatnot.
Or A Deepness In the Sky, or John Dies At the End, or any number of books that explore the idea.

I guess I am in fiction critiquing mode here.
