the best fear lies in fear of
taking control of evolution
transforming the species
into something stronger
faster sexier healthier
and with vastly superior
cognitive abilities
I like [not] fair terms
and conditions
and [a villain’s] mind uploading
to avoid the problems
that a biological substrate like the brain
entails
[for it is implausible to think
that one’s consciousness
would leave one’s brain
and travel to a remote location
ordinary physical objects
do not behave this way]
