All of the above plus greatly enhance our intelligence in ways that
can't be done without largely replacing the meat brain with something
more capable (when we get that). But even more important I think each
and every one of us who wants to really be part of the future needs to
learn to understand our own minds/behavior/programming and develop a
huge amount of power and freedom to change it. We simply do not have
time to wait for future generations or different training of our
children to produce what is needed. The future is upon us and them too
quickly for that to be sufficient.
