Power, immortality, knowledge and no wisdom.
What could possibly go wrong?

Somebody has been watching to many movies. People need too learn that movies are nothing but make believe.

Humans will have to upgrade themselves if they don’t want the robots to take over the earth.

We are programmed to be dissatisfied, said Prof Harari. Even when humans gain pleasure and achievements it is not enough. They want more and more.’
Nothing satisfies except God. So he is absolutely correct but the answer of course is not more material goods but the love of Jesus.

Define “God-like”.
God creates the Universe and is outside of it and the cause-effect continuum. Is that what he means? So integrating microprocessors in the human body is going to make each person a creator of the Universe and set him outside of the cause-effect continuum?
That’s what he says but not what he means. He means that by connecting computers to brains there will no longer be a need for God.

But we will be as different from todays humans as chimps are now from us. Then how come today's humans seem so much closer to chimps than those fifty years ago? :)
I'm guessing that technology will not be enough to prevent the chimps from eventually killing and eating the cyborgs. The Fall of Rome again, but from a much higher height this time. Look at today's bad example - cyborg-like elites creating ISIS to spite their rivals and make money, but almost immediately losing control of their chimps. Cyborgs will always think themselves too smart to fail...and this will inevitably make them fail.

I think the Historian needs to lay off playing the Deus Ex video games, or stop watching Ghost in the Shell anime, or whatever his entertainment obsession is.

Except that instead of being programmed, we were created with free will.:-)
