But I like learning languages :p
Anyways, fablabs are popping up so there should be no problem about that. Question is if the designs for said parts will be largely available or behind a walled-garden.

Balance, as in everything, is key.What’s really gonna bake your noodle later on, however, is: what exactly that ‘correct’ Discordia Concors truly is. The Queen of Sciences proud herself on finding it, we’re still figuring it out.

Good to see Natasha is more attuned with actual implications than even Ben (which is worth noting for the irony as his field is AI) and most certainly of our so-called ‘futurists’ which are simply too cowardly to wage their bets even a few years hence: a laughable position to any fiction writer not only from centuries but millennia back (or…[Read more]

Mwahahahaha.. monkey silliness amuse me to no end, I expect the next couple decades will be particularly amusing since, as every good information technology, silliness is picking up exponentially.
But since you’re one of the rare ones I’ve actually been unable to find much silliness in, Ben, (except perhaps for that silly thing about a…[Read more]

Work hard now and get ready. For when de Grey & CIA begin to bring ever more amazing results from the lab, in early to mid 20’s, and it starts to dawn on people age is about to finally be defeated, you’ll have more baby-boomers on your hands than you can handle.

Humans must crawl before they walk. India for instance has outrageous 66% for literacy levels. In contrast, China has 99.5%, no wonder it is much easier for ‘chinese officials’ to carry out such campaigns. However, India will SURPASS CHINA’s population by 2030, and Africa’s will STILL be growing by then. I agree the effort should be made but,…[Read more]

Hey, nice one quoting myself there. ^_^
> However I don’t think it’s possible to not open it
True, but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to nudge it in the most positive direction possible. And taking the Summit in consideration is an opportunity to do so. How many can we afford to waste? It will only get harder and harder to take them, the con…[Read more]

Whoa, does this means that the “International Summit on Human Gene Editing”[1][2] was all for nought?! Just a sideshow to the inexorable march of progress.
Does such a unilateral decision on the part of, I assume, uninformed “authorities” from 1 country imply a new kind of arms race? A race which is not won but instead the least uninformed among…[Read more]

Hi, sorry for the delay. It seems the email notification is not working anymore here either =(
Yes that was very interesting, thank you. I’m pretty sure if those models accounted for what you say, the ‘individual’ complexity there would soar way higher.
