The knowledge of the mind will not make giant leaps and it becomes a super-weapon.
No, we already pray at the alters of the rational mind too much

The cultivation of spirit may make a come back, Spartans did it quite well
Imagine a galvanised turn about NZ society, so much could be achieved
With an attitude adjustment

Harmonising the spirit could become popular

the things 'society' value hav changed.
It began idolising those of physical strength, them who succed the hunt.
Then moved to idolising shamans, who can heal, predict, 'sit' for dreamtimers, etc
there was time when 'genius', invention, innovation, development, was put on the pedestal.
now we're facing the idolisation of whoever gets the most attention on twitter.
Times they are a changin

I think you are talking about the brain, do you know what the mind is in connection to the spirit?

Knowledge of the mind has made HUGE leaps in the last 50 to 100 yrs.

the senses, the understanding?

nearly all knowledge has made huge leaps
I was just meaning:
I dont believe with increased studies of brain power
That phenomenal tasks could be achieved, like say
moving an object with the mind
or reading a document from someones mind

These are not the druids you were looking for

an elixir of eternal youth could be a popular product

Went into one of the big stores to get a " tablet" for the daughters birthday we thought we would splash out on as we don't spoil here much, well i'm over it

I was lost about a second after the store puter geek said " can i help you", and started on with specifics re these handy gadgets for kids.

It's a whole new language that really I don't have time to learn as my bike is waiting to be ridden.

Two things stuck out for me when I bought my wife a tablet for Christmas. Screen size, and max memory.

It was a cheap one from the Warehouse, Vigo is the brand. Scratcha informed me later, the brand is pretty bloody good all things considered. And that I bought (with ignorance) very well.
