If I have a religion, this is it.

I believe that man will merge with machine, and it is happening in bits and pieces all over the world. It doesn't require belief. It doesn't require approval. The people working on AI will continue to work on AI. The people working on brain/machine interfaces will continue to work on brain-machine interfaces. Automation will continue to be be cheaper than human labor, and will only get cheaper.

Providing we don't blow ourselves up first, we will become an interplanetary species within this century.
