<p>When humans are limited to thinking in three dimensions, and robots develop the capacity to conceive of things in as many as ten or twenty dimensions&#8230; how do we reason with them?</p>
<p>A <a href="http://www.nickbostrom.com/">Philosopher</a>, a <a href="http://www.scienceandliterature.org/symposium02/foerst.html">Theologian</a>, a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_de_Garis">Brain Builde</a>r, and a <a href="http://www.kevinwarwick.org/">Cyborg</a> discuss the potential implications for humanity when the technology we have evolved surpasses humans in super-intelligence and ability.</p>
<p>Ken Gumbs&#8217; film certainly makes us question whether the discourse on the regulation of technological advancement is keeping apace with the implications that our progress will inevitable have on us a species in the future&#8230;</p>
