Reaction to and avoidance of pain is a survival trait. Easier and better to use medical technology to reduce the causes of pain and treat it's occurrences that to mute a primary survival instinct. |

Re: TL 10 Humans
I'm reminded of a whimsical proposal I read some years ago, to the effect that, since male success in such activities as business and political was significantly correlated with height, we could stop having people fill out income tax forms and simply impose a height tax of so much per inch.

Re: TL 10 Humans
We used to do these types of exercises a lot. I always enjoy the conversations and variations.
We can't know what the future looks like, we can only speculate, so we have to make up humanities future to help determine what a human living in that future would be like... yada yada, omg, we've been talking about this for nine hours! Do you mean Age 4 since they have Early Maturation 2. |

That said, one thing I notice is that few of these tall young people are at all stocky, male or female. I wonder if doing less physical work as they're growing is resulting in their bodies growing up but not becoming as solid as people tended to be previously. Also, the men's hands are more slender than I expect. Quote:

Re: TL 10 Humans
I would say it's a Taboo Trait (Terminal Illness (Cancer)), and thus a feature of the template. As a feature, it's worth zero points.
