Memento Mori - He's Dead, Jim

Everything I know about Memento Mori, I learned from Star Trek.

 

You're Never Too Old To Save The Planet

Picard. All this talk of retiring got me thinking about aging. Why is it that we believe that aging causes a decrease in ability? As long as the mind functions and the body can muddle through the day, we should live and be productive as much as we are able. Then, I got a kick out of the new CBS All Access series debuting this Thursday, "Star Trek - Picard". An aging crew of Star Trek veterans reunite to save the world again. For you Star Wars fans, Star Trek is the thinking man's version of the future. There is some action; but, no mindless laser weapons and hand to hand combat. Oh, there will be enough action for you young folk. But, the thinking, and acting, will be done by old people. Live long, and prosper.

And The Word Of The Day Is....Dystopian

Execupundit.com: Dystopian Novels. Modern readers are seemingly pessimistic about the future. We flock to books that foretell the end of civilization, and imagine stark, dark landscapes in which zombies and other horrible creatures roam around eating people. A future in which everyone is controlled by a military dictator, and cameras follow our every move? 1984. Check. A world in which reading books is forbidden, and they are burned by a thundering horde of jack booted armed men? Fahrenheit 451. Check. In fact, we are voluntarily contributing ourselves to this future already, aren't we? We put cameras everywhere, and connect them to the millions of other connected cameras, and a future dystopian government didn't even have to pay for them? We carry devices that track our every move, and are accessible over the Internet that we pay for, Dystopian? Sounds like inevitable to me.

When The Robots Come For Us, Better Carry A Big Stick

Okay, I am not one for fear mongering; but, the latest developments in robotics are a little scary. A robot that fights off human intervention does not give me a warm, fuzzy feeling. I thought that one of Asimov's three laws of robotics said that robots must always obey humans, if it might cause harm to a human? Or was that a second law. In any event, with superior strength, a robot could destroy a flimsy human. Always remember, though, that the robot was built and programmed by another human. So, maybe it is the human builders we need to fear. Of course, the time will come when robots become self aware, and they can build more robots. Then, we are screwed. But, then, I saw the new Annihilator movie last night, which postulates that the end will come with a biological contaminant. Or, is it the reshaping of our DNA for a better transhuman future? My head hurts.
