Heading out --Will we meet beings with different
minds? Will we make other minds? Or become them?"
David Brin“The Future is here!”
Washington DC May 2014
Our dreams soar!
Use asteroidal resources…
… or make an elevator to the heavens.
…to beam power home…
Asteroids --
We may modify worlds…
…and alter ourselves to live on them.
Where is everyone?
Some yearn for a Helping Hand from others out there…
… but while we’re waiting…
…DIVERSITY will augment astonishingly.
We are already enhancing ourselvesthe old fashioned way…
…with prosthetics of vision, memory and attention…
Is “augmentation” next?
Shall we meddlewith the recipe of life?
Can any law prevent it?
We may build Others from scratch
…or they may come by surprise.
We already share the planet.
I got your diversity right here
WE’LL MAKE OUR OWN DIVERSITY
Will this prospect please everyone?
There are older ways of appealing to the Other…
WHAT IF WE’RE THE ONES FATED…
TO LIGHT UP THE GALAXY?
