I think genetic memory has to do more with how a certain animal reacts in a given situation. Not really how an animal can "remember" things.
I agree that the person alleging this so-called science exists is inventing their own meaning of what 'genetic memory' is - although i know as little so won't add any inventions.
But I will add this - in my view our normal computational mechanisms are going to 'evolve' (metaphorically, please) once that which a few people accurately term 'artificial intelligence' is in existence.
what i envisage is that the notion of self-learning mechanisms is where you should focus with regard to how technology will shape the future and possibly even 'regulate' it.
in the case of bodies and brains and indeed interfacing with the 'memory', 'mind' and 'imagination' - i would perceive this possibility to be still credible, until we learn anything which casts it out as impossible:
technology which can be developed at a near cellular-size level but with self-learning capabilities, networking capabilities and i/o capabilities could get inside us pretty deeply and in my humble opinion face off things like HIV and indeed cancer. as for going into the brain - there's no reason at all why not if you can get as far as the blood and less solid organs. perhaps in the end it would be the spine you interfaced by means of - maybe you'd be able to interfere most easily with signals there.
but it would ALL be dangerous - and so was cutting people open to find out what we now know ultimately about things like heart disease.
but ideas about genetics, cloning, and all that jazz is alien to me. just part of the crappy sci fi world. a.i. is about machines only, not biological matter. and its relation to medicine is the same relation that intel pentium processors and modems and keyboards and scanning systems currently have - tools of the trade, but nothing more than that. not part of the cure. just tools for achieving it.
does anyone here know of any online demos of the sorts of self-learning tools available today?
