I was just thinking about how we've gone from crude runes and pictographs carved in rock with other rocks to harnessing light itself to communicate the sum of man's knowledge. When you really consider what we've done it's pretty amazing. Maybe more amazing for how mundane we normally consider it. Too bad we are basically still the same monkeyboys we were when we used stone, just more sophisticated. Still ruled by the same reflexes, emotions, and motivations. Our evolutionary fight for dominance is too ingrained in our very DNA. That is why we can send probes to other planets and even deep space, but we can't manage our resources without ruining our home.
Then I was thinking maybe the human race is just the evolutionary stepping stone to the true master race of the earth . . . computer intelligence. Perhaps humans will learn to survive by transferring minds into android bodies. Maybe that transfer could allow us to leave behind all the garbage that makes us so awful. Perhaps the future is a sexless, emotionless, rational, logical existence. Paradise on earth. Man and computer merged at last.
Then I was thinking that if it was and Jim Kirk showed up, he'd probably say, "There's no sex?!? Some paradise"
Then he'd probably talk a couple of them into possessing him and Uhura so they could experience the sensation of emotions and sex. Plus, that way he'd finally get to nail Uhura.
