This reminds me of my philosopher/scientist friend who said "the mind is
clearly NOT disembodied" when I asked him "When will Ray Kurzweil be able
to upload his brain to the cloud?"
And, this reminded me of when we were listening to a podcast with E.O.
Wilson on the way back from Santa Barbara where he said that humans can
only ever live on planet Earth and nowhere else; we are forever tied to
our bodies and to our planet. Humans are pretty limited.
