Well he did bastardise Led Zepplin's Stairway to Heaven.
And guess what, old Rolfy baby claims he had never heard of them or that song before!
Guess it he was during his psychodelic period from sniffing all those paint cans.........
Trust British Paints.....sure can

I hope he does warble a re-mix of cyber pop-culture, at least our kids might start spelling correctly again given text-speak and cyber acronyms wont be cool any more once he's done with it.


He might come in handy yet!

Good for you, Wile. Thread needs to get back on topic, if anybody is still interested, after pages and pages of cartoons talking to themselves ..

Interesting thread. Will get back to it when I have a moment.

Annie,

Do you think andevloved/designed organic organism is our end point or a mechanism (computer/machine) will be our end point.

Can a machine be alive and is our most probable future?

Nova,

I think that if the human species can survive political and religious squabbles long enough to avoid blasting itself into extinction in the near future - and if mathematics and the sciences are still taught to our descendants and if enough students become astrophysicists and particle physicists by the 22nd and 23rd centuries - then there is a chance for them to survive and move on from there.

The direction inwhich they will move is questionable. Will they disappear into a singularity of digital technology gone to madness? Will they redesign themselves as cyborgs - part human and part machine? Or will they design a separate race of machines and send them out to distant star systems to colonize?

I think they will do both: send machines out to colonize, and simultaneously redesign the human species as cyborgs here on the homeworld.

I'm thinking in terms of thousands of years into the future. But only if we survive the 21st century, as I see it, from the way things are going.
