[extropy-chat] A few points of interest for future historians

[Marc Geddes]

>You couldn't 'do an Eli' even if you intravenously injected a truckload 
of nootropics.
 
>You couldn't 'do an Eli' even if you turned zombie and consumed the 
brain of Stephen Hawking.

>You couldn't 'do an Eli' even if future scientists discovered a cure for 
your condition.

>You couldn't 'do an Eli' even if aliens uplifted you to human-level 
intelligence.

>I'm sorry to be blunt about this, but there comes a time when you have 
to put up a sign, and people who aren't taller than the sign shouldn't 
be riding the roller coaster.

Still haven't learnt your lesson boy? *sigh*
 
O.K, so I so admit I can't do an Eli but I can go into business, make a ton of cash and hire lots of people who can ;)
 
With a huge team of domain-specific experts and domain-specific AI's to 'cut problems to ribbons', I'd wager that even Eli ain't no match for that.
 
No one's denying your genius, it's your arrogance that gets up people's noses.

THE BRAIN is wider than the sky,  
  For, put them side by side,  
The one the other will include  
  With ease, and you beside. 

-Emily Dickinson
