    Part of me does genuinely wonder whether this is the beginning of the end of humanity as we know it. The way technology, and people, are going.... what with 3D printing body parts etc.

    I think in the future you'll be able to be whatever you want... cat, dog, helicopter, sandwich. You'll probably be able to change as easily as you do an avatar on a video game, eventually. In a way I guess it'll could be rather nice, because you can be judged on your character, on the presentation you choose rather than the fat ugly ginger body you were born with.

    • What could possibly go wrong? :-)
      I wonder if eventually it's people's consciousness that's transferred to a machine, will life even be worth it?

    • Every time humans get to a point of advanced civilizations, we fuck up... Do you really think we'll get that far this time before we blow ourselves to oblivion?Maaku
    • History teaches us exactly what Maaku is saying. I believe that technology and our understanding of history aren't here to just prolong the collapsested
    • "Pamela's tits for an arse" ahah Set oh i love you :Dsted
    • I'm convinced we've been more advanced than we are now at least a few times in earth's history. A species with amnesia as Graham Hancock puts it.set
    • ... and I don't imagine we'll make it as far as transferring consciousness to sandwiches before the earth shakes us off againset
    • @maaku @sted did you see the declassified CIA documents about the many cycles of human development, ancient technology...set
    • ... pole shifts whiping out each civilisation, the elite building bunkers as we're overdue another shift. Fascinating read if nothing else.set

    • @Krassy So really can't you see that the Sphinx was actually a big lion sculpture before egyptians slapped a generic pharaoh head on it?grafician
    • @set re: your post - no man, we aren't and can't get that advanced so soon - we just have internet and smartphones and social f'ing mediagrafician
    • also AI being a buzzword these days - there's no AI! we just have machine learning, like writing code to sort thru data and give results, no "general AI" yet!grafician
    • also we can't get too advanced when 90% of ppl online still reply-all to emails so...grafician
    • Miles of ice will crush every trace of civilisation to dust. Read that originally classified CIA document, it's all in there.set
    • @grafician what do you mean 'so soon' I didn't give any time frame to my original brain fart of a post. I don't believe I wrote I'm just having a discussion.set
    • @set took our life times as a measure, so maybe up to 2050-2060...grafician
