Will Mankind Destroy Itself?

The physicist sees two major trends in the world today: the first is toward a multicultural, scientific, tolerant society; the other, as evidenced by terrorism, is fundamentalist and monocultural. Whichever one wins out will determine the fate of man

@Gezorr Einstein said if you can't explain something simply you don't understand it well enough yourself. So yeah, this guy is pretty intelligent.

See my comment to @ironmaiden66695.

But yes, at one point it will become more sufficient to be transfered into totally artificial bodies. This would also make it highly feasible to construct artificial cities on giant distributed quantum server computers and networks for trillions of people to live on/in.

Office buildings would probably be virtual access points for outside equipment.

HAH, if you think any sim-MMO is crazy big today... just imagine this scenario :D

Then I can cheer you with that, if everything goes well.. within about 30 years our medical science is gonna be so developed that immortality and eternal youth is nothing ordinary.

So sit along passively for the ride, or do something to notch it in the direction you would like to see it go.

[hardc0r3gam3r]

How I wish that I can live long enough to see the peak of our civilization and all the wonders that we do out in space and beyond :(. I don't mind living as an android :D!.

Anyway, Einstein said that if you can explain something complex in simple words that even your grandma could understand; then it means that you truthfully understand the subject and can be deem as intelligent.
