Immortality would dispense with that. Plus - those visionaries do their best work in war time as opposed to peace time.<br /><br />The next question you would have to ask is 'what would we do with immortality'? Judging from the actions of my fellow man, I think we would all end up trying that much harder to kill each other.<br /><br />So if Rusty hot rods himself with that titanium exoskeleton and enhanced biosystems - I will need a nuke of at least a couple megatons to take him out! <br /><br />After we finished bombing ourselves back to the stone age...I would like to hope there are a bunch of big titted topless amazons with fur G-strings and flint spears to repopulate the earth.Glen Filthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256741311142364722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-43176756403229297092015-05-06T04:46:40.233-04:002015-05-06T04:46:40.233-04:00I'd like to have just my brain put in a titani...I'd like to have just my brain put in a titanium exoskeleton. I read once that the human brain could potentially last hundreds of years longer than the heart and other organs. Think of how stupid it is that a well functioning mind should cease to exist just because of kidney or liver problems. It's like junking a car because its oil filter is clogged. A fully electronic version just based on my personality and memories doesn't do much for me, though. In humans, I don't think you can separate the hardware and software. I'd want the original hardware.

It was co-written and directed by Neill Blomkamp, who also gave us <i>District 9</i> and <i>Elysium</i>. Part of the story involves the premise you're describing here.
