I really look forward to the time when we have the freedom of pretty
unconstrained self engineering (however faint the chances of me/us
actually managing the temporal leap to that Eden (that's not dynamic
optimism speaking)). Converting oneself first in a free-space capable
distributed life form, subsequent evolution towards astroengineering life,
then, mayhap, even timespace engineering?
Speaking of self engineering, why does the majority find this aspect
particularly abhorrent? Why that urge to remain locked in place/stagnate
forever, while the only constant in the univeres is constant change?
