>>	almostphysicist Fri Sep 23 02:28:35 2011 No.3785926 OP, I'm going to give you a serious answer. You know how it would be retarded to speculate on the most "important" type of scientist in the present day? It won't be any different speculating on it in the future.

>>	Anonymous Fri Sep 23 02:32:35 2011 No.3785945 >>3785937 >implying that they aren't the next stage in evolution of us

>>	Anonymous Fri Sep 23 02:34:35 2011 No.3785950 >>3785938 I believe in this sense importance would be for the benefit of human-kind or the interest thereof.

>>	almostphysicist Fri Sep 23 02:39:35 2011 No.3785970 >>3785950 >benefit of human-kind or the interest thereof. Ok, fine. So now we have to decide on what the most important benefit has been or will be. Something that is completely subjective and impossible to analyze numerically.
