[extropy-chat] Forbes Magazine "Blank Slate" on Human Attributes

[nvitamore at austin.rr.com]

Forbes Magazine Online has an interesting issue this week. It's a special
series of articles called "Blank Slate" and it asks experts in a variety of
fields what they would do if they could remake or rethink things from the
ground up, including human evolution. 

Forbes should be free with a registration, so I've included the links.
There are too many articles to copy. However, I did include the survey,
"What attribute do you most wish humans possessed?" My favorite answer is
the last one, "I don't want to be human at all..."
