I was thinking of the possibility that some aspects of human intelligence would transform into a new physical form and be able to use less or different kinds of energy, tolerate different temperatures and/or more radiation, etc.   I don’t even see that as fatalism.    How or if that will happen, I have no idea.   Genetic engineering, neural linkage technologies, wafer scale machine learning systems?  Actually calling me fatalist or nihilist is fine, just don’t call me an optimist!  :-)
