When this organic robot I’ve been interfacing with finally breaks down for good I’ll be ready to move on to bigger and better things. ---

Great news! Whatever happened to that manned Jupiter mission back in 2001? Arthur C. Clarke was right most of the time too. 🙂 ---

Immortality is good but strict population control needs to be in place afterwards. ---

> [@Butterfly](#): > > Who said everyone will be immortal? True, you can always get hit by a bus. Then there are those who believe there is a world in the clouds you go to after death. Those people will pass on immortality because they want to get to “Heaven” or “Valhalla” or “Nirvana” or what ever they call it. ---

We are getting so close to the singularity you can feel it… I fully expect to live to see the beginning of the end of humanity as it currently exists. Personally I’m pretty excited about the future and transhumanity ---

Let’s not forget the possible pitfalls of nanotech augmented brains. Think augmentation at the base of the brain. Wireless nano transmitter communicating with a globally centralized neural network structure that consists of every other human on earth. Complete loss of freewill as thought algorithms are fed into your brain. Not that you will even care, as you’ve become truly automated. Omniscient will the networks rulers become. Gods physically manifested upon earth. That’s how I would rule the world. All so I could make everyone on the planet simultaneously do the hokey pokey. ---
