My guess it won't happen that soon. The major hurdle I see is intelligence doesn't come from passively conforming to an imposed landscape (Darwin's idea), but from creatively exploring discovered ones (the living systems idea). ...I think maybe we're making great progress, but sort of need to start over with our design principle reversed!

Do you think it's a matter of one or many missing discoveries, or just applying current knowledge in a more complex way?
