Extropes,
I was housesitting a friends golden retrievers last night, channel surfing
on their tv (away from my usual net surfing mode of entertainment) when I
caught an exceedingly brief glimpse of what seemed to be a plug for a new
movie with extropian content. Clip of leading man--Patrick somebody or
other I think--peering into a row of laboratory mouse cages, while
voice-over mentions that the premise of the old movie, "Flowers for
Algernon"--technologically mediated intelligence enhancement--is rapidly
becoming a reality. This was followed by a real world, frontal-interview
shot of the actor closing with the cliche about whether we will handle this
new capability wisely or poorly.
Details, please. Who knows more about this?
Best, Jeff Davis
