The jury is still out on whether having your first quote come from Ted Kaczynski adds to your credibility.

Theodore J. Kaczynski is a sweetheart. So shush up.

Did he really write a book called the Unabomber Manifesto?

Alright, this may be a little on the stupid side, but I don't care.

When we become cyborgs and no longer completely biological, what will happen to our brains when we drink alcohol to excess? Would there be any effects, would the effects be the same? The same could be said for other drugs, like marijuana or actual medical drugs that are perscribed by doctors. Come to think of it, would we even have a desire to get fucked up, or would we even need medicine like we do today? Or would there be medicine in a different sense than what we use today? Alright, this is turning into a downward spiral of questions that currently have no real answer.

Anyways, this shit is pretty crazy. On one hand I kind of anticipate this technology's arrival, but at the same time I'm somewhat apprehensive about cybernetic body manipulation and the eventual creation of cybernetic life.

What I liked about the article was how the author illustrated the two paths humans can take toward the future. I do think that biological evolution through manipulation of our genes is just as amazing as technological evolution. Perhaps through a combination of both, humans will be able to win the impending human-robot war.

It's not that I actually think this is going to happen for sure. I sensed a lot of "doom and gloom" in this article, which hurt the author's credibility. Coupled with a quote from the Unabomber and some other stupid bullshit, he had little credibility in my eyes. Although I'm really not qualified to prove or disprove anything the author has said, as I have done absolutely zero research on the topic besides read that article. I do however, find the topic to be very interesting, so this was basically just an "analysis" of the article, and some thoughts that were raised in my mind while/after reading it.
