If you can make yourself the most clever, or the most handsome/beautiful, or
the most social,
or the most leading etc. by the future tech., I think most people will look
more or less the same, right?
Anyway, why you don't make yourself the best if you can make it easily by
tech.?

OK, this sounds like a soul.
