The topics:

• They all wished everyone Happy Father's Day.

• Phil told us about his experience with his new bike rack. With roof mounted bike racks, clearance is an issue. They agreed that there is a difference between self-effacing humor and male bashing.

• The guys talked about the new Iron Man and Incredible Hulk movies.

• Phil's first question about the future was, "Can we predict it?"

• Stephen cheated with his questions about the future. He referred to Michio Kaku's newly published book:

• Michael asks, "Putting aside SENS, do we have other reasons to believe that life extension will become reality?"

  Phil mentioned that life expectancy has hit a new high.

• Stephen asks, "Will invisibility be possible?"

  They agreed the answer is "yes." We already have meta-materials that are invisible to red light.

  Michael points out that robots or UAV's do invisibility one better - manipulating the battlefield without even being there.

• Phil asks "Is there an advantage to having a bleak outlook on the future."

  The answer brought out our "Speculist Manifesto." Scroll down at the link.

• Michael asks, "Are we at, or soon to be at peak oil production?"

• Phil asks, "When we will be able to fly?"

Our front bumper is a sample of Marginal Prophets' "The Difficult Song."

Our exit music this week is from Chewy Marble. The song is "Black and White."
