Within most of our lifetimes it will become possible and relatively safe to increase a persons intelligence.
Specifically their ability to remember correctly, their memory recall speed and their ability to concentrate fully for long periods.
Now when this becomes available would you want to take these drugs (or a sort of head band giving low level electric current) would you want your children to take them. Should society treat people who are artificially clever the same way as everyone else? Should the whole of society be forced/encouraged to take advantage of them?

I got my new blackberry Octoberish last year, and I have a little obsession with the Brickbreaker game. I know, I should get a life, in fact I DO have a life, I just like the odd 20 minutes here and there where I zone out.
My current game, I am going through the levels for the fourth time, I have 22 paddles left and my score is 54910. Which is much better than my last score of 26470, and finished the second time around.
What is your best score on the game you like to play?

When you were little, were you obsessed with Disney princesses? Is this 'normal', do 'all little girls'?
I ask this genuine question because I had an argument with my ex about this last night. The girl (who looks more than a little mongoloid, bless her) upstairs from my child has lent her some jigsaws - thank you very much, of course, but these are Disney princess ones. Like all her toys (bar the 15 Barbies) - like her birthday cake etc etc. I scoffed at this from a snobbery perspective, as you know I would, but I also objected to this obsession on moral grounds, as I feel little girls are being told that the ideal female role model is someone who has been given everything they want either through birth or marriage, and has achieved nothing for themselves.
My ex laid into me saying that ‘all’ little girls love that stuff. My sister categorically didn’t (she was obsessed with ‘Brambly Hedge’) and I wonder if it’s a class thing, but she also hates jewellery and doesn’t go much on makeup either and is thus unusual.
So is it true?
Apologies for length. Cheers.

I watched it in two installments, before and after work, on the treadmill both times so I can safely say it's the most I've sweated watching a film since porn became more readily available and therefore slightly less exciting.
I am gobsmacked that I've never seen this absolute classic of cinema before. It's jumped straight into my top ten films. Probably about number 5 or 6, I think. Fascinating, eh.
Which highly revered movies are you ashamed to say you've never seen?
Alt Q - ever beaten someone up? Didn't think so. But, for those of you claiming you have, was it justified? I once broke a man's nose for calling my then-girlfriend a donkey. Not to her face.
