Y'know, in the fifties they were saying we'd have helper robots in our houses by 1990. And...well, my view on transhumanism is well-known here. How would we be powering these nanobots? Who repairs the repairmen? And what happens when they break down and start jamming our arteries?

Y'know, in the fifties they were saying we'd have helper robots in our houses by 1990.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

I’ve been thinking how to save poly. Maybe we should close all forums except Civ4, Spore and Off-topic. Then we should turn Spore into a porn only sub-forum.
