Ah, ok. Skipping through the Futurist is as alarming as skipping through Fortean Times. Evidently "Enhanced Singular Individuals" will make the rest of us "Norms" look like chumps in less than twenty years ( The Futurist. March-Apr 2010. p.20)
Perhaps.
Or perhaps the proletariat revolution mentioned in the Militant will keep this in line.
However. Humans are plagued by poor decision-making, including their inability to plan within budgets and timelines (The Futurist. p.24), so the ESI takeover may not happen for another century or so.
Either way, this stuff can be depressing on a Monday morning when you're dragging without any coffee in your system.

- After blogging through a graduate degree, I spent some time underground...cooked some meals, found a job, hiked some great trails, read a few books, had a baby...but I find I must return to blogging for the simple reason that I spend my days interacting with such great information (and a lot of junk) it is criminal not to share it. Basically I catalog magazines and journals, and of course I flip through and scan articles that catch my eye... While this may sound wrist-slittingly boring, I've been here a year and my wrists are still unscarred. Is it a testament to my fortitude, the state of the economy/job opportunities in NE Ohio, or a reflection of how much I really do enjoy scanning articles, I don't know. But I created this blog to share the randomness that I am exposed to.
