They ain't seen nuttin', yet.
There's gonna be people that can live in the sea, breathe the water. People that can live on Mars with just a SCUBA. People that can live forever and never die. People that can regrow vital organs and limbs. Coming soon.
I don't think Humanity as it is will be around in 1000 years. I think by that time it won't make any difference what we have done over the last 100 years. I really think the ultimate goal of some interet groups, and some governmental agencies, is to reduce the population of the Earth to about a billion people, and have robots do the work of the rest of what humanity does now. These billion or so people will probably live lives of luxury, and if there are human servants, they will be of the Brave New World persuasion who have been genetcially engineered to perform specified tasks.
Of course in 1000 years, none of us will be there to see it.
"There's gonna be people that can live in the sea, breathe the water. People that can live on Mars with just a SCUBA. People that can live forever and never die. People that can regrow vital organs and limbs. Coming soon." Yeah.
They'll cure my diabetes and heart problems the day after I'm in the ground.
Too late for me. Today's kids--maybe. Their kids--assuredly.
