Nobody Likes the Smart People: Accelerated Thought and the Uncanny Valley

In my recent essay on hubpages.com, I look at the phenomenon of the "uncanny valley" and how it may apply as we approach a time when technological augmentation will begin to differentiate us (humans) at some pretty fundamental levels. I focus on differences in thought because to me, changing the way we think and behave is more potentially disruptive to our social nature than, say, super-strong arms or even amazing hearing abilities, which seem like more like parlor tricks. Give it a read -- I'll be glad to hear what you think!
