>one way would be to make picrel real.
people gloss over this idea when it's quite a possible reality within our life time. Unlike the greeks when they spoke of pygmalion and galatea, we can and do create custom creatures. The specific problem is feature selection, ensuring that the end result is a "blue elf", a furwaifu, whatever with prediposed compatibility. This is a problem that has a solution but to get there requires time, cost, and scale. If we want to achieve this within our life time, and within the time frame that we still have relative youthfulness to enjoy the product (what good is a catgirl if you're 80), then we need to solve for cost which when you look at the big picture, it all comes down to cost of electricity and compute. You get worry about specifics like biobag, refuting the vitalist hypothesis, simulating gene developmental biology models later when the cost of electricity and compute is negligible. You might get a big grant to finance studying alzheimer's disease or glioblastoma with the aging population pouring money into their last ditch dream of life extension but no one is going to finance the technology for custom flesh and blood creatures because you feel lonely and so cost must be brought down. The cost of electricity and compute, just those two things which you can help improve from just your bedroom
