That's the basic problem with computer-based creativity - the current 
human lifespan is just too short to do really great things! If we had 
300 instead of 30 years left, what could we achieve in all those years, 
especially when collaborating? Entire star systems with planets worked 
out to a millimetre scale, simulations of complex civilizations 
inhabiting these star systems, down to the very individual people... a 
full-fledged Khyberspace in various historical and alternate-historical 
modes, with the beards and turban ends of its Afghans blowing physically 
correct in the desert wind, of course featuring all the immersion 
technologies of 22nd/23rd century virtual reality... perhaps 
Transhumanism will enable us to live theoretically forever (unless its 
energy source run out) in those worlds... or even emulate pre-computer 
age human life with death and afterlife according to the concepts of the 
various religions... for the inhabitants of Khyberspace, there for 
example might be an implementation of the gruesome Islamic hell, an 
infinitely painful endless loop... which only the highest-ranking 
programmers of Khyberspace may break, therefore they are worshipped by 
ordinary Khyberspace Afghans as a collective Allah... while only a few 
yottabytes away, there flourishes a hyper-scientific intergalactic 
civilization of immortal near-omniscient superhumans!

Keep on coding!

See you in Khyberspace!
