I had dinner with one of my friends this evening. Midway through the meal, my friend told me that his career goal is to be a cyborg by 2035. And to never die, instead he's going to live forever on the Internet as a software program. He was completely and utterly serious. He even explained the kind of entry-level job he would have to get.
I wasn't sure what to say. Everytime I looked in his eyes, I got really scared. Also, my curry was really spicy.

Brian Lewis once told me about a guy he met at a party whose entire life path was structured around the idea that there will be a manned base on the moon in our lifetime, and that he will be the doctor on that base. As such, he joined the Air Force ROTC as an undergrad and focused his training on high-altitude flight, and went to med school with an emphasis on medic training in extreme situations. I never actually met the guy and don’t know any specifics about his story; still, it makes me happy that he’s out there.
