Comment: "Transhumanism"

That is a term we will be hearing a lot more, and folks need to get over the "7of9 is so hot" mentality and remember she was a friggin' BORG - and that is not really where humanity needs to be headed.

Who here will let them put an RFID chip in their hand or forehead?
(crickets, I hope...)
Now then, who here will have a cell phone implanted in their hand because it is SO convenient, and your "Palm Pilot" is your PALM and that is SO COOL! OK, maybe crickets for that, too, but how many sheep will fall for it?
I believe there already is a "new world" and actually, a couple of them. I believe we will see society split, some will worship money and buy whatever trappings of success the media pushes. Some will find new levels of consciousness. Which of these factions will "take over" remains to be seen. I anticipate both will exist for a while, probably to the end of my life.
