I thin we have a lot to discover, and that we are about to enter into a Golden Age, that is, if we don't ruin the planet (and ourselves) first.


The meaning was "in our current form".

Although I'm skeptical about that one as well. I remember reading about how early trains were thought to be too fast for horses to perceive, hence exposure to the sight of a moving train would drive the animal insane.

Yeah.

I think the human mind in its current form is greatly underestimated. We can and will continue to integrate new technologies into our lives. Yay for us.
