- ivankirigin 18y agoUnderstanding is also the first step to engineering. People talk about replacement organs, stem cells, and all sorts of enhancements. But intelligence enhancement could be so much more important. We get around with hacks like coffee, and could do much better. SBUX has a $7B market cap.
- Tangurena 18y agoI agree. Reality isn't what you want things to be. Reality isn't what I want things to be. Reality is what is.
