We can't give up on the small victories. I'm a science fiction writer so I'm with you on all of this. But it has allowed me to think beyond virtual (after all we're living in a hologram) and think about who are we, what are wet and why are we. A good place to be right now at the end of a long and fulfilling career. And after many hypotheticals I can say - I haven't a clue!
