Published: June 13, 2017, 7:45 a.m.

Gaia Hypothesis \n\n

The idea that the biosphere self-regulates to support life. Does it hold up?

\n\n Civilization Reboot \n\n

Sim cards. Better ways to select the humans that will survive. Minimum populations.

\n\n Oddjob with swordlegs \n\n

Sword legs! Cleaving humans not just through but vertically.

\n\n Prosthetic feet/legs \n\n

Butts! And their utility for distance running. Hugh Herr and awesome climbing feet.

\n\n Augmented Reality \n\n

Versus virtual reality. Physical positioning and orientation fudging in virtual and augmented reality shared spaces.\xa0Rainbows End. HoloLens.

\n\n Church Scene \n\n

It\u2019s so good! Also: long shots, real or otherwise.

\n\n The Culling \n\n

SIM card splodeyheads. Transcranial direct current stimulation. To cull, or not to cull.
