Modern Alchemy
A comment from Max More, made on the Extropy Chat List:
I've often made parallels with the alchemists and their three goals of transmuting the elements, achieving flight, and immortality. I like to say: two down, one to go.The alchemists were pre-scientific, of course, but had their heart in the right place.
Has to be said, I wish we were further along with the last goal there - but whatever you might think of that remark, it's food for thought.
