HOMO LUNATICUS
TODAY "HOMO LUNATICUS" HEADLINE READS: HUMANS WILL ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY IN EIGHT YEARS, SAYS FORMER GOOGLE ENGINEER WHO HAS PREDICTED THE FUTURE WITH 86% ACCURACY. RAY KURZWEIL PREDICTS NANOBOTS WILL HELP ACHIEVE HUMAN IMMORTALITY. THE TECHNOLOGY WILL REPAIR CELLS AND TISSUES THAT DETERORIATE AS THE BODY AGES. READ MORE: EXPERTS FEAR ELDERLY BILLIONNAIRES WILL BECOME IMMORTAL. RAY KURZWEIL, NOT MTG, NOT POTUS-45, BUT AN ENGINEER WIDELY HONORED BY HIS PEERS AND POLITICIANS. COULD WE PLEASE STOP USING THE WORD "IMMORTALITY"? IT IS A WORD THAT BELONGS IN THE VOCABULARY OF SCHIZOPHRENICS, AND I'M AFRAID THAT PEOPLE WHO USE IT ARE FIT TO BE LABELED BY PSYCHIATRISTS, IF THERE ARE ANY LEFT WHO STILL BELONG TO THE SPECIES HOMO SAPIENS. TO PARAPHRASE MORRIS RAPHAEL COHEN, "NOT ALL WHO PREDICT ARE DIVINELY INSPIRED." WE HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH FOOLS IN WASHINGTON. WE DON'T NEED THEM WANDERING THE CORRIDORS OF THE SCIENCES AND ENGINEERING. FERMATA LA FOLL
