...wont to do. Finally, in late 2008, Hart revealed a primary reason for the seemingly endless delay: he had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, a sobering reality for fans of the painter (who’s designed all his own album art) and musician. But while some might expect Hart’s disclosure to be a farewell message, it instead marked Circulatory System’s revival: recorded in seven studios over almost eight years, the band’s sophomore album—now optimistically-titled “Signal Morning”—would finally...

However, we already have alertness enhancers (caffeine, modafinil), athletic enhancers (steroids, EPO), sexual-performance enhancers (Viagra), immune enhancers (vaccinations) and concentration enhancers (Ritalin). One can expect improved versions of these to become available in the short term. In addition, memory enhancers are currently in clinical trials. Perhaps there will be compounds that facilitate trust - such as Oxytocin - and encourage pair bonding, or improved diet pills, or treatments that slow the rate of aging and increase sustainable...
