Personally I don’t think that slow growing incongruously preprogrammed meatsacks can have any sensible place in the future. I dislike to be one and I (hopelessly) wait for some sort of upload.
We’ll suffer for a while, rich will get richer for a while, then one day all this meaty nonsense will become irrelevant for good.
