Rosella Tolfree's World is a fictional world.
Author's Disclaimer- The below is pure fiction. It's not real. It's part of the Rosella Tolfree World series as background information. In no way should it be taken as belief in or support of any form of ideology, religion, or similar. Res-Pangenderism theory was developed by Dr. April French-Wolfe and sees humanity as the only true and genetically universal species, for as a species we control our own genetic destiny. It’s based on quantum genetics and human manipulated genetics at the quantum scale. Or as Dr. French-Wolfe said, “We humans are indivisible at the quantum scale.” Unlike scientists of the 21st Century who saw human sex as a spectrum, she saw the binary sex plaguing humanity as part of an evolutionary step and that it was possible that at some point this reproduction may be obsolete. She reasoned that humanity through quantum genetic manipulation may reach a point where the extension of age makes having offspring unnecessary because of highly efficient self-repairing. Basically no wound, save having your head cut off, couldn’t be healed. Even then maybe we would just grow a new head. All the variations earlier scientists saw causing them to believe in the spectrum approach were to her either failed natural evolutionary processes or just random errors in the genetic coding. Or as she called it, “noise”. With Res-Pangenderism, sexual differentiation and sexual determination were all controlled at the quantum level. Neither process was a separate reality, but one harmonious and continuous process of human growth at the smallest scale. The Word Gender Dr. April French-Wolfe was less concerned about 21st Century use of the term “gender” despite using it in her theory’s name. By this point in time many scientists were looking back to original meanings of words when naming theories and things. Here, the etymology of gender is from the 1300s to mean class or kind of person. Versus the 1960s usage for social attributes assigned to sexes. The whole phrase of “Res-Pangenderism” translates as “True Universal Speciesism”. Dr. French-Wolfe held that their maybe at the quantum level sex assigned behaviors, but how those attributes are reinforced by society depends on an array of other factors making absolute determinant nearly impossible. She always saw it as Schrodinger's cat problem. In time the scientists that believed in Dr. French-Wolfe’s theory built a space colony in a Lagrangian orbit point behind Europa. The colony specialized in the rehabilitation of criminals for the inner system. Dr. Martin Grofhurst and “The Rise of Inferior Genetics” Dr. Martin Grofhurst was a colleague of hers that agreed with some of her theories, but preferred natural selection processes over human intervention. He saw white Europeans as the pinnacle of genetic evolution by the hand of God-selection. Every age appears to have hate groups that cluster around some book proposing ideas or theories about how the world should work. The future is no different. Res-Pangenderism would cause an offshoot theory by Dr. Martin Grofhurst’s book entitled, “The Rise of Inferior Genetics”. Competing Theories Both Res-Pangenderism and Dr. Grofhurst’s Dawrinistic genetic theories occurred during a time when a small but politically vocal group of geneticists were proposing “transracial identity theory” to head off potential immigration issues associated with global warming. Politically this transracial theory was a hard sell, and later wouldn’t stop nations from banning immigrants as the waters rose.

Graphic: Jupiter Colony Logo, AEM Services. 2020. Commentary on Current EventsRight off the bat, I’m not a doctor or someone who’s trained in medicine. I read a lot of medical studies for research, but that doesn’t make me an expert by a long shot.
With that out of the way, the amount of information out there on virology is staggeringly high. There are tons of studies going back to 1950s (and earlier) from propagation to RNA sequences to tissue impacts. As a writer, I can tell that in the U.S. we got lulled into a sense of safety with vaccines. Sure, vaccines helped our economy by preventing absenteeism and promoted a longer life. But on the flip side, our socio-economy became dependent upon them. Therefore, the current pandemic is disruptive, and everyone wants to go back to the way it was. To make matters worse, this virus does not obey the normal rules for other viruses we have vaccines for. Most viruses make us sick nearly on day one, then contagious. This one lingers around the body for several days. Making a person contagious. Then you get sick, and if at that for some. It would be easy for me to say in Rosella Tolfree’s future world the current pandemic isn’t a problem anymore. But as a writer I can’t say this because I need to wait and see what happens by next year. I need to see how the vaccine trials go. What Concerns Me as Well… CNN’s John King interviewed vaccinologist, Dr. Paul Offit, on 5-24-2020 concerning the trends in the pandemic vaccines. Dr. Offit really wants to wait for the big trails to go through first. But what got me was Dr. Offit’s closing statement concerning one potential vaccine result- “By incomplete I mean would protect you against moderate-to-severe disease but not a mild disease associated with reinfection. In which case, you might still be shedding virus.” Okay, if a person is still shedding virus, then herd immunity could be a problem. My understanding of herd immunity is those vaccinated would get the disease and then naturally kill it off. But this is not what Dr. Offit is saying. All I can imagine is now we have groups of vaccinated people who are now asymptomatic and infecting others. If this is true, then a vaccine could only be helpful in the sense of reducing the severity of the disease for some people, but maybe not all. We could still end up with a society that requires social distancing and masks as a result, depending upon the vaccine results. Therefore, as a writer of future events; I need to wait. I don’t know what the outcome will be. We could end up with a vaccine that provides 100% protection for a person’s entire life, or we could end up with something that just helps the young but not the old. One Possible Future The only future idea I can think of is the use of CRISPR-like technology to edit the human genome to be more resistant to the current pandemic. Society would introduce this DNA modification through couples seeking in-vitro fertilization, allowing their children to then spread it naturally into the larger gene pool. Governments could even encourage this through stipends to couples and other tax incentives. In time, humanity would build up a genetic resistance, but for a time it will have to deal with the socio-economic impacts of disease again. ##### IMAGE Produced by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), this highly magnified, digitally colorized transmission electron microscopic (TEM) image highlights the particle envelope of a single, spherical shaped, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) virion, through the process of immunolabeling, the envelope proteins, using rabbit HCoV-EMC/2012 primary antibody, and goat anti-rabbit 10nm gold particles. By CDC. Source Unsplash In the short online account I recently posted, I mention the phrase “quantum genetic engrams”. Sounds cool, and right now every physicist is rolling their eyes. For Rosella Tolfree’s world to come into being, I needed some technological breakthrough to advance humanity into the Second Age. I used increased understanding and application of quantum mechanics and states. With newer understandings of quantum gravity came new developments in space flight. With the understanding of quantum states involved with the human mind came the development of artificial intelligence far beyond what we have now. This state of artificial intelligence is known as strong A.I. in comparison to today’s weak A.I. By some estimates we are few decades away from standard brain-like neural processing. But one area where the quantum understanding was still lacking in this future was that of genetics. Sure, mankind had the ability to do 3-D printing on a molecular level, allowing for the creation of human organs and zygotes. But the quantum level manipulation of genetics was still in its infancy. A New Theory Dr. April French-Wolfe advanced a theory known as “Res-Pangenderism” or “True Universal Speciesism”. This theory sees humanity as the only true and genetically universal species, for as a species we control our own genetic destiny. The theory relies heavily on quantum genetic modeling. Eventually a group of scientists who truly believed in this theory left Earth to establish a colony at a LaGrange point behind Europa in the Jovian system. The downside to Dr. French-Wolfe’s theory is that it gave rise to Dr. Martin Grofhurst’s book entitled, “The Rise of Inferior Genetics”. Dr. Grofhurst was a colleague of Dr. French-Wolf and used her research to spin his own twisted Darwinist logic. This fueled a new round of hate group pseudo-science justifications during the time of Rosella Tolfree. Quantum Genetic Engrams By the time of the early Third Age of Humanity, as humans reached for the stars themselves, we had mastered genetic manipulation right down to quantum states. This gave rise to a new way to make humans than just simple DNA cloning. We could now, in a limited sense, create engrams of a person and duplicate them. Think quantum entanglement except with people. In our short online account of Ryt B96Y, his dream is nothing more than the events from his original life as a criminal serving on either Earth or Mars. This is how these experiences are perceived. Although other possibilities exist such as ghost panic attacks occurring for no apparent reason, your hand moving like it was playing a musical instrument randomly, or even randomly throwing up. It’s because of these annoying past entanglement issues that humanity eventually abandons this form of technology, and there’s a return to standard genetic manipulation with a much greater understanding of how it all works. |
