DEKA is awesome! They just are. No doubt about it. Plus, I love the fact that Dean Kamen is a true humanitarian.

Is it selfish of me to want one even though I have two working arms?

How to process knowledge is itself knowledge, like how to solve a problem.Resources are subjective. Dung is a resource in some areas and waste products in others. You assume reality is a zero sum game, if that were the case we would never have come into existence.A resource is simply something that can be made useful. As a resource grows scare, the search for alternatives and substitutes both direct (different kinds of gas) and indirect (better bikes) heats up.

a., mind explaining how i confused intelligence with knowledge? knowledge is amount of known information, which CAN be adjusted, intelligence is what one does with ones knowledge, which can not be adjusted.and space is not the problem, resources are. if there's already mass starvation, introducing more to the equation without eliminating some for balance, would just propagate the matter, nomatter what kind of potential the introduced have. this same effect applies to many other things.
