Come on, let’s give Bush/Cheney the credit they deserve. They worked very hard to establish this budding police state, it would be a shame if they got no mention.

Another day another assassins creed game. AC is like the fast and furious of games

To be fair, most US lawmakers who “represent” “Christianity” do a pretty shoddy job of it. If Jesus was to show up today, they’d crucify him (literally or figuratively, take your pick) for being a bleeding heart liberal commie pinko.

Genocide Man looks fascinating. I’ll have to give that a read. I loved Indefensible Positions, by the way.

Artists gonna art.

A proper transhuman, having transcended human limitations, would not share human concerns. They might have human history recorded somewhere, but they will take no emotional context from it.

Why do you assume that transhumans (whatever that may be) would lose the ability to learn history or sympathize with their elders?

Sounds like the lament of every aging, soon to be replaced generation, ever.

Death isn’t going to be eradicated overnight. You can rest easy. In fact, there’s millions of starving kids dying by the droves daily in India and Africa right now just to assuage your fears of overpopulation.

Now you’re just changing the subject. My point is that overpopulation is not a valid argument against life extension. Inequality is its own issue, and I stand with you on that one. Interestingly enough, we can make progress toward solving that problem with many of the same techniques that can be used to lower birth…

So we should delay saving lives until we achieve interplanetary or interstellar travel? Wouldn’t it be easier to work on lowering birth rates? In fact, every single simple thing that can be done to reduce birthrates is far easier to achieve than “immortality.” The use of overpopulation as an argument against extending…

Please make it explicitly clear to me how the Transhumanist movement wishes to kill or harm anyone unjustly.

Do you also weep for the dead child that once was you? If transhumanism is human extinction, then growing up is suicide, and feeding children so that they can grow into adults is murder. Transhumanism is the idea that we can grow and be more than human. Are you against growth?

I guess getting your political opinions from Marvel movies is at least better than getting them from Fox News....

Typically, tin foil hats are awarded to those who are fearful and skeptical of technology, not those who embrace it openly. Nice try, though.

Statistically, lower birth rates coincide with longer life expectancy. Less pressure to have children sooner due to longer life, better sex education, better contraception, and better access to contraception will all contribute to declining birth rates.

Mind-uploading is theoretical and iffy. There’s a lot of work being done on achieving indefinite lifespans just repairing and improving our biological forms. If you’re interested, try Googling Aubrey De Grey, SENS Foundation, or Calico.

I’d expect the Matrix a lot sooner, for practical purposes .

his interpretation of Superman in Man of Steel was a dour, de-saturated disaster-porn
