The problem with that is we only have a certain amount of time to start establishing colonies on other planets, or we will end up stuck on Earth where we will face extinction sooner rather than later. A more intelligent human is far more capable of performing the day-to-day tasks on a spaceship that most pretentious rich assholes have no desire to do. And I must say, the systems aboard an interstellar vessel would almost certainly be advanced. Also, considering what being in space does to the body due to the effects of little to no gravity (not even artificial gravity would fix this) and radiation, modifying humans for extended time in space is essential. Trade between planets and the long-term survival of our species depends upon it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/10/06/we-have-a-pretty-good-idea-of-when-humans-will-go-extinct/

If humans who are already living voluntarily become one with technology, who are they to be controlled by other humans? The average IQ in the US is 98. The record is said to be 228. The goal already is to use a device that will increase electrical stimulation of the brain as early as 2040. Graphene is stage 1 of nanotechnology, and nanomedicine is part of Stage 2. Thus, if one could imagine a human brain with increased electrical activity, and tiny machines gathering, storing, and processing increased data and information in the brain, the possibilities are tremendous. The humans who choose not to be a part of this will be the ones who are more likely mistreated.

Well, when some of the main characters are getting married in real life, it can't be helped. Of course, it's also going to be the final season. Unfortunately, the final season won't air until around December 2018.

That's cool. It'd have been way hotter if he'd have actually been dating Emilia Clarke though, since she's still alive in the series and one of the women I'd have relations with like for real.

Well, the thing is, if part of the technological singularity involves people with superhuman intelligence, the key is actually quite simple. The focus should be the advancement of our species and the colonization of the solar system. War and corporate greed are quite simply detrimental to those goals and must be eliminated for the greater good. Is it possible? That is unknown. Will people with 2-3 times higher intelligence be above such things?

I'm going to start reading one of the most controversial books of all time, "The Prince" by Niccolo Machiavelli.

I'm only on Season 1. Thanks for the spoiler.

@Page Scrawler what anime has this song as its opening?

Caution: Explicit mashup

Two more awesome Tom Petty tunes.

Boku no Hero Academia, a manga by Kohei Horikoshi.

I've edited the topic. He is, brain dead, from what I have read, so it's only a matter of time.

That's really awesome, and it's so hard to believe that my 10 year anniversary is on Halloween.

Well, pretty much since I heard about the potential of life sustaining medications, gene therapy, nanotechnology, etc. in the 21st century. I would say probably about a decade.

Halsey And a since the video has a Tyler Posey cameo, how about those sexy abs?

I'm on an 80's kick.

I haven't watched the final episodes either, mostly because I hate filler, but I read the manga. Thus, I read the ending. I felt like the series was rushed in the manga. Boruto is interesting so far.

I'm not sure what episode, but it's during the war arc. I might be able to give you a ballpark. It's probably between 322 and 325.

That's sad. It's one of my favorites. I am liking it so far. Ancient China is always a good backdrop. I was so disappointed that Kindomu was cut short.
