"Thwaites, who is interested in transhumanism, believes not everyone will want to become a cyborg in the future.
Biorobotics, he told Motherboad, could be used by people to de-volve instead of evolve.
‘I initially wanted to be an elephant, but it wasn’t going very well,’ said Thwaites. ‘I visited a shaman, and she said “you’re an idiot”. So, I decided to be a goat.’"
This is where he lost me. A novel idea for "research" just took a hard right into Crazyville, though upon completion of the article, it sounds a bit more like performance art.
