I'm still in my 20's so I feel some necessity to be future-oriented.

I do expect centaurs to outperform other systems for many types of tasks for years to come (and am kind of betting on this to keep getting paid).

But what I'm talking about is ego. It your ego is tied up with (a) your intelligence or (b) your ability to perform task X; you will probably be humbled this century.

This? Still? After everything?

Buddy, you're living in the future. In a science fiction novel. Please get used to it.
