Not aborting disabled children today when we can determine it in utero seems weird to me but there are all sorts of ethical implications.

Also, probably the idea of a tangible currency.

Things that will seem weird in 40 years. I'd say the concept of driving your own car (as opposed to it being automated, not community cars) will seem pretty weird and dangerous.

>Implowing understanding phylogeny has anything to do with atheism.

Evolution thread. Ever have a discussion with someone so ignorant of biology that you just didn't want to live on this planet anymore? I was talking to a creationist that thought single genes being less homologous amongst closely related species than more distantly related ones was evidence against evolution. I even explained to them and got them to admit that, for instance, paternity tests do not work by comparing single genes but an array of genes. They just could not understand this on the large scale, that single mutations can reduce the homology of single genes between closely related branches. If I was being trolled, they were incredibly elaborate about it as they'd gone to homologene etc. to try to bring up examples.

In our lifetimes do you think we'll be able to access the brain like a harddrive?
