Good, spend your money chasing fads now that your metaverse push has run out of gas. Your cash cattle won't keep you alive forever.

It's actually Namor's doing.

Seems like amphibians have overall better regeneration capabilities than lizards.

Oh, and newts.

Various lizards, like iguanas.

Woops you beat me to it. Well almost. If anything this technology will keep people on oil for longer.

Oil refineries suck. They're dirty and have a history of emitting some nasty environmental pollutants. You really don't want to live near one if you can avoid it. If this new process can reduce or eliminate environmental localized pollution around refineries, it would allow post-industrial countries to expand refinery capacity rather than importing refined product from countries willing to trash their own land/air/water for cash.

They aren't the only animals capable of limb regeneration.

The core of the modern trans movement is accepting and believing that people can and should remake themselves according to their own ego. That a man should be able to become a woman whenever he/she pleases for whatever reason he/she sees fit. Once you've accepted that as truth, it's a small step to believe that humanity should be able to remake itself in other ways.

Trek basically says "no" to the entire concept.

The Federation had a hard ban on genetic modification for advantage. Even though it was apparently done (see: Dr. Bashir). You will notice exactly zero trans characters in all of old Trek, TNG, DS9 (Federation or otherwise), etc.

Being changed physically from what you were at birth to something else was overwhelmingly projected by the writers to be bad in the vast majority of cases. They were okay with interracial and even interspecial interactions, but they also hinted in TNG of a common ancestor to many of the show's featured species so the idea of interspecial breeding might seem less radical or far-fetched in that context.

Trek projected the fantasy of humanity being able to go anywhere or do anything without ever fundamentally changing as a species. Trek had climate controls instead of humanity being altered to facilitate space travel. It had warp drives to facilitate movement fast enough that humanity could avoid cryo freeze and still travel throughout the galaxy in a single lifespan. It even featured numerous bizarrely habitable planets for away teams to visit without protective gear. Old Trek was notorious for that, but TNG wasn't any better.

If they complain about Israel but not Hamas then they probably will be screened out.

How many of them apply for or obtain student visas to the United States?

You can thank APK for that!

It's cute that you think we want to hear your commentary on this subject.

It's TI, not Foxconn. They have been operating second tier fabs in the US for decades.

Trek, at least up through TNG (and arguably DS9) was profoundly anti-transhumanist. The Borg were a cautionary tale about self-modification through cybernetics, while Khan and his crew were a cautionary tale about biological self-modification through genetic engineering or otherwise.

Trek was stodgily in favor of humanity remaining basically human, regardless of the circumstances.

A lot of what passed for "woke" these days is a thinly-veiled test platform for transhumanism. Roddenberry and his immediate followers never would have been fond of it.
