Q
IS
AGAIN PULLING
OUT OF THE STATION -
AND THIS WILL PROBABLY BE
THE LAST TRAIN EVER TO LEAVE THE STATION CALLED Homo Sapiens?
Those who miss thìs train wìll nèver gèt a second chance! In order to get a seat on it
you need to understand our 21st-century technology, & in particular the powers of biotechnology
& computer algorithms. These powers are far more potent than steam and the telegraph, and they
will not be used merely for the production of food, textiles, vehicles and weapons! The main products
of the 21st century will be bodies, brains and minds, and the gap between those who know how to
engineer bodies and brains and those who do not will be far bigger than the gap between Dickens's
Britain and the Mahdi's Sudan. Indeed, it will be bigger than the gap between Sapiens & Neanderthals.
In the 21st century, those who ride the train of progress will acquire divine abilities of creation and de-
struction, while those left behind will face extinction?! Socialism, which was very up to date a 100 years
ago, failed to keep up with new technology. Leonid Brezhnev & Fidel Castro a.s.o. held on to ideas that
Marx & Lenin formulated in the age of steam, & did not understand the power of computers & biotech-
nology? Liberals, in contrast, adapted far better to the information age! This partly explains why Khrush-
chev's 1956 prediction never materialized, & why it was the liberal capitalists who eventually
buried the Marxists? If Marx came back to life today, he would probably urge
his few remaining disciples to devote less time
to reading Das Kapital & more time
to studying the Internet
& the human
genome......
