The potential implications of human enhancement comprise one of the main reasons why I’m at CSPO, so I was excited and a little worried when the trailer for the movie Limitless appeared.  Would Hollywood do justice to the topic, or would they make yet another trite cautionary tale?

Think about this for a bit… “I…. see… you”.  In my universe, we all take this line from “Avatar” to heart, intentionally living up to the conceptual depth of what is meant by really seeing another person, understanding and mutually edifying each other's experiences... In my universe this pleasant, enriching, fun form of Utopia has a fighting chance. In my universe, all is possible.
