    I've said it before and I'll say it again - we ain't leaving this solar system as humans. Plain and simple.

    True, we're already cyborgs to a great degree. Becoming steadily intertwined with technology over time.

    More and more people are literally cyborgs.

    Resistance is futile.

    Yeah, that's what I meant. More and more technology is "coming online" every day that alters our bodies. I wonder what things will be like in another 100 years?

    I could tell you, but I made me promise not to. Long story.

    It's amazing how fast technology is progressing these days. I mean my grandfather was around when they brought in the first refrigerators, now we have computer chip implants that people can use to telepathically control computers!

    Also with 3D LED TVs and a hand-held based corporate delivery schematic, to go a bit more excessive, let's re-evaluate Descartes, shall we?

    I took a 4th year poli-sci course last term where we discussed this type of stuff and the intersections with philosophy. It was pretty interesting!

    Could you enlighten us of a couple of the views and rebuttals that came up for discussion? I'm neither Poli-sci or philosophy major, so a class discussion outside outside of the core college curriculum sounds interesting. Did you guys discuss the radical zeitgeist movement?
