Visionaries?

CNN recently opened their door to the ramblings of all us "visionaries" out there dressing up our dogs in the rural suburbs of Southern Maine. Their Visionaries" page is a fairly interesting collage of theory on the future. I found that just about every article I read was a rather conventional idea, made tantalizing with a fancy logo and theorized dates of when such change might take place. I decided to throw them one of a number of off-the-wall ideas I use to explore when I owned a 2 foot bong:

The Biological Supercomputers:

Genetic design will inevitably lead to the production (legal or illegal) of massively capable human minds as early as the next decade. Early products will be grown in countries with little regulation on genetic engineering. The obvious alterations to the typical human model: enlarged cranium, stunted extremities of little relevance to thought, and powerful cardiovascular systems built to fund enormous brains with potent cocktails of oxygen-enriched blood, will be at the foundation of the first batch of prototypes.



Frightening in appearance, these early products will soon become icons of new society, and entice pilgrimages to their presence. Like space heaters in a cold room, the souls of these quasi-human creations will radiate tremendous amounts of psychic warmth we have yet to identify in our natural human specimens. Imagine the humbling encounters with a mind hundreds of times more powerful than our current intellectual icons.



Once the cerebral design of these biological supercomputers is finely tuned and appropriately educated, they will become absolute necessities of governments just as the plastic and silicon computers of the late 20th century did, solving issues surrounding energy, economics, and human health, while acting as ambassadors to other nations with their encapsulating knowledge of their homelands. The beings will be designed with varying intents; the logical model with disproportionate emphasis on mathematical regions of the brain might solve energy problems, whereas the entertainment model, with enormous cranial room for personality and visual/audio logic, might produce art of all mediums far outside the scope of its limited predecessors.



Just as China will continue relaxing its firm govern of modern communication, conservative societies of the not so distant future will need to relax their moral philosophies to make room for the great things to come from the new human potential.



Thanks for your time and for providing an outlet to us wacko visionaries.

It's been nearly 5 minutes since I sent them the email and still no response! Bastards! How the hell do they expect the future to arrive when they drag ass in responding to us super-geniuses!
