Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

Well counting de facto independent their are 203 nations in the world if I remember correctly. Less than 210 for sure.

Why? Did the Luddites have technology to neutralize them?

You know what, I'm going to try and watch the film again. Perhaps the curse has lifted.

Because they had a weapon that killed the users as well the surrogates.

I've already said too much. See the movie. I don't want to reveal anymore than I already have.

Ah I see. Nice forethought on the part of the military in the film to keep meat soldiers too.

Or 'hot and burning'
'cold and icy'
'blunt and tough'
''fast and heavy'
'etc.'
Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea.

Funny, isn't it? The human was impervious to our most powerful magnetic fields, yet in the end he succumbed to a harmless sharpened stick.

...It Came From Planet Earth? I love Futarama.
We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar.

"The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming

Speaking of Surrogates that Futurama, I watched the episode where they go on a fantastic voyage using them last night. Exploring your or someone else's body might be cool, or very icky.
