As a species, we keep trying to build machines that can be controlled -- robots that think for themselves. Mechanical ingenuity that can be put to use.

Turning machines into people.

Maybe it is more important to concern ourselves with turning people more-so into machines.

Humans are input/output machines. Not unlike calculators. Once people can be taught to manage "fear" and the unconscious reactions associated with it, all that remains is the input level. A calculator cannot think for itself -- all it can do is interpret the data that it is given.

I like to try and have hope for humanity in saying that people "can" think for themselves, so by improving the data of which they have access to, one can improve the potential upon which they can react correctly and accurately.

IF you give a computer a complex equation, it will solve it if a discernible answer exists.

IF you give a computer a complex yet unsolvable equation, it will eventually come to the conclusion that no solution exists.

IF you give a human a complex equation, it will react based on instinct and previous experience with similar situations, and come up with the best possible answer in the time given to solve the problem.

IF you give a human a complex yet unsolvable equation, it will still try as hard as it is able to find a way to beat the odds and survive.

Machines cannot think for themselves -- in this case, the helmet is the machine. The most sophisticated helmets in the world will eventually throw in the towel and deploy airbags declaring "****'s ****ed, plan B.. PLAN B!!!" -- but the human element will continue to exist -- which is why the brain is still incased in the machine.

We as a species will continue to attempt to find a way to deny our own mortality -- and in doing so, we are trying to do that from a mechanical perspective --- I propose a shift in thinking. Instead of building machines that make our lives safer to take up the slack for our mental imperfections, we should more-so focus on closely mimicing the tried and tested machines that have kept us alive for so long.

Augment the senses.

There are two ways to solve any problem. The obvious, or the unexpected.
