[ExI] Sick of Cyberspace?

[Natasha Vita-More]

Yes, understood but (cells are bio-machines); nevertheless, you are coming
closer to what I had in mind.  

Psychedelics do not increase chronological life extension (visions yes, but
I am looking for more than altered states of existence located within and
fixed to the human brain).

The both are not necessarily disparate. Enzymes are molecular machines doing
chemistry, and machine-phase is basically numerically controlled chemistry.
Or nanoscale 3d rapid prototyping. 
It is really just about human classification, there is no fundamental
boundary where chemistry stops and physics starts.

Nothing wrong with these.
