Previous Chapter: GENETIC TAKEOVER | Cryptocommerce Historically, violence has been declining while we have made progress on a variety of factors that humans may value. Cryptocommerce can help us cooperate better in advancing progress. Biotechnology is unlocking healthier lives for more people, while remote sensing and robotics enable production at lower cost, using less energy, and creating less waste. Soon, we may be able to produce entirely new materials with molecular precision. We need technological progress to continue enabling more and more valuing entities to achieve what they value.
