So much for being the government for the people. China isn't even remotely communist. It's just a fascist dictatorship in smug clothing.

Ray Kurzweil said that we will have figured out every communication pathway in the human body, by 2020. Seems that the human body is more complex than he thought.

Thank you SO much for such an in depth answer to the challenges. How close are we to being able to do this? Is this something that is actually being researched, or better yet, developed?

Hmm. I don't think of publishers as gatekeepers. Instead, I think of them as curators. They do hugely valuable work and I appreciate them very much.
