I know the reference is actually to the Greek myth but I still think of Heimskr every time I hear about this

Trust in the words of Heimskr! For I am the chosen of Talos!

Yea that will be an alright stop on the road to change, but genetically engineered and/or robotic bodies (that look human) will be the future. When it can be done cheaply for everyone that is. Downloading your brain into another body.

i really thought this was a troll thread when I saw it

can't say I'm not disappointed

but yeah I've heard of this for a while now... kinda like the Power Armor in FO. Last I heard they do already have some kind've suit that you put on which lets you carry like 3x as much as usual, and they're just trying to figure out a good enough armor for its outside (for protection)

I find it difficult to take someone seriously whose name can be directly translated to "Stupid"

This. Really liked how they opened an article about a military weapon project with "Wouldn't you want an Iron Man suit?". Idiots; like the Americans will share some of their democracy.
