Is it selfish of me to want one even though I have two working arms?

How to process knowledge is itself knowledge, like how to solve a problem.Resources are subjective. Dung is a resource in some areas and waste products in others. You assume reality is a zero sum game, if that were the case we would never have come into existence.A resource is simply something that can be made useful. As a resource grows scare, the search for alternatives and substitutes both direct (different kinds of gas) and indirect (better bikes) heats up.

a., mind explaining how i confused intelligence with knowledge? knowledge is amount of known information, which CAN be adjusted, intelligence is what one does with ones knowledge, which can not be adjusted.and space is not the problem, resources are. if there's already mass starvation, introducing more to the equation without eliminating some for balance, would just propagate the matter, nomatter what kind of potential the introduced have. this same effect applies to many other things.

Actually seeing an individual using the arm for practical things that he hasn't been able to do for some time must be a fantastic feeling. I hope that the work continues, and isn't used only for those who have recieved injuries in warfare, much like the guy in the clip, warfare is not the only way people sustain what used to be considered life destroying injuries, with this technology people can get back as near as possible to where they were before recieving the injury. Brilliant.

Don't confuse intelligence with knowledge, and don't that the capacity of the country is even close to reached yet. In fact the United States has an abundance of space per person, we just choose to crowd into cities for logistical reasons.

Did they say NERVE? it'd work like your real arm!!!!

you can't adjust individual's intelligence, thereby, you can not modify the group. so, americans will continue to be stupid til replaced by smarter ones, which would require a space for them to be, which would be occupied by idiots, which we can't get rid of without killing them. so i ask you, if you can't change it without it changing it self which it's not going to do, what exactly do you intend to to about it?
