If we could make man/animal hybrids...

Look it up man, put that newly program'd materialistic brain to work! I think the first scientific observer (cant remember his name) of DMT stopped his experiments because he was getting too freaked out when two people were sharing the same trip and talking to the same angelic being at the same time.

Oh shit, I was programmed? Was I programmed by your bs friend?
LOL.. Tell me, how have I become more materialistic than before?
Since you can't provide me with a simple link, can you tell me what or who I should search for?

...where is the limit that you believe science should reach? Consider, hypothetically, that science has no bounds, we can make half man, half machine... mutant type people like you'd see in X-Men, androids like in IRobot, whatever you can think of, what's the limit? Why do you believe ________'s unacceptable but ________'s not?

I think, if we could defeat aging, disease, famine, any naturalistic type death that most people die of today, we should, as I think it would probably lead to more scientific achievements. Imagine a scientist working for 9,000 years straight! I think there would be massive benefit to such advances.

I think regeneration should be near the top of the list of goals. Some animals can do it, so we know it's possible. We should know how to regenerate amputated limbs by 2020.

Cloning. Fuck yes, why the fuck not? A readily available storage of exact copies of all of your own healthy organs in case something on you goes to shit! GENIUS! "TAKE MY MONEY!"

Space exploration. Inevitable.

I really don't know where I would personally draw the line. Pretty much, if it can be done, do it. I'd like to see the limit.

What's the absolute perfect human body that can be created? Wouldn't it be cool to know? Have some scientists get together and devise some system to determine which two people out of everyone on the planet have the best genes that correspond with human mortality, they sleep together and have a child, combining the best of the best, then a team of 500 people raise that 1 kid to be the absolute most intelligent, strong, healthy human the population has ever produced! That shit would be awesome!

Jetpacks?! What!? Yes!

The best. of. the. best. I see no real moral limit, I mean, unless you start creating some zombie type creatures that go against the collective benefit of mankind... That seems just counter productive...

Also weapons, perhaps... No real need unless we have some outside thread that can't be reasoned with (the Borg, Romulans, etc..).

What do you think?

Clones, abortions, teleporting, seeing through ladies undergarments?

This may sound crass, but I kinda like that we haven't figured out how to substantially extend lives through science. The world is already grossly over-populated with humans, and I see no need to be adding hybrid-humans, or figuring out how to have people live 900 years.

As a species humans have proven to be selfish, gluttonous creatures. Given this fact, I think the potential detriment to the planet of having more of us around for a longer time far outweighs the positives that could come from this.

Interesting topic, though.

The "ancients knowing about Sirius B" myth has been debunked. It was a simple case of existing cultural contamination combined with awful anthropological hygiene. cn

Chief doesn't have time to provide links or back up any of his bullshit (unless it's a youtube video), he is too busy glancing at other bullshit and instantly believing it if it sounds cool to him. I'd find it more interesting at this point to read why he doesn't believe every single claim that's made. It seems his criteria is to believe almost anything that's groundless, and dismiss almost anything with empirical evidence. It's not an easy process, but it is what one must do if one wants to be Chief...
