Future stuff

There's this book recently published "Citizen Cyborg" (Westview Press, $26.95) by James Hughes explains his vision, as executive director of the World Transhumanist Association, where in the next 50 years the worlds of flesh is fused with mechanics and brains with circuitry. It talks about Transhumanism, which "envisions a "post-human" phase where technology will bring us beyond human capabilities. Intelligence-boosting brain chips, extended life spans and even immortality are all part of this vision."

I love this; Sci-fi coming to reality!

But it's people like this "political scientist" Francis Fukuyama (who, according to the article, recently nominated transhumanism as the "world's most dangerous idea." What a jackass) who would drag the world back to leeches and ground-up tea leaves if he could. I'll bet he also He probably believes that 'if god had meant man to fly....' you know the rest of that.
