In response to this post on KurzweilAI … The realization (which might be either delusional or epiphanous) that we might extend our unique personal identity well beyond the mortality horizon imposed by our biological natures, will be a cruel thing. I am not saying this cruelty is “bad”. When a plane crashes (or in a…

So what is this? It is a “small” manifestation of the horrendous pan-galactic life force, “Shub Niggurath“. These are extremely dangerous things, basically hundreds times as deadly as a walking ebola plague weighing two african elephants. It’s a rather cliche manifestation of the morbid imagination of H.P.Lovecraft. These things shamble about in lonely places and…

The userpics are all lovely and such, but what counts is the message.

We all survived the apocalypse, and now it’s the year 2013. It was touch and go there and even though we lost some of our loved ones in the transition to a new spiritual vibratory state, we are now left to face the future. There are no more excuses. So what paradigm will we look…

I can post this on facebook.

The success of modernity is by and large mass-production. The total utility of a society where goods are mass produced (while it doesn’t always produce healthy conditions…) does produce very cheap goods, especially where information technology-based products and sound engineering are involved. The last decades have seen unprecedented societal growth and increase in well-being, precisely…

I would ask people to make a minute BitCoin donation here 1N6whkUK5Wg7LzusksDDCcayzGcrTm7aRa To see if the deposit system works quick enough. If you can send me a conformation email, so I can verify.

p.s. I live near the Hague. Dick we have a nice little cell waiting for you.

1. Every citizen can vote. Non-citizens can not vote. 2. Only a citizin with person-hood rights can be voted for. Right now the group attributed with personhood rights is limited to humans. 3. Every citizen with personhood can be voted for. Non citizens or non-persons can not be voted for. 4. Voting can be done…

This is actually funny if you care for chewing-gum-under-the-condom-machine-in-the-toilet kind of humor. An orgy of up-to-date geek references. Willam peach must waste so much time on fashionizing, makeup consolidating and geek culture it dazzles my danglies. I’d hit it, provided she didn’t do sarcasm on me, or I couldn’t. But hey at least she knows…

Some have noticed that I have been having some heated debates (argumentative arguably) over on the Singularity Network facebook group. I have been having colorful and expressive run-ins with a few of the usual right wing suspects, namely Samantha Atkins (who has always been a fairly close friend) and Mike Lorrey (who I’d qualify as…

The term “behavioral sink” to describe aberrant behaviors in overcrowded population density situations and “beautiful ones” to describe passive individuals who withdrew from all social interaction. John Calhoun did an experiment with mice and the only adversity was the limit on space. Initially the population grew rapidly, doubling every 55 days. The population reached 620…

I have a question for anyone out there who gets this sort of thing. Recent discoveries studying the accretion disk of a very heavy galactic core black hole seem to suggest that ‘the surface zone’ around a black hole is “moving” at a speed close to the speed of light. I see a problem here….

I just did something wrong. I just experienced two separate incidents of what I’d term discrimination. Emphasis on ‘experience;. The first incident was on the train back from the east of the country. During my travel I experienced a bout of severe screaming and taunting from some, what I’d classify, more culturally backward schoolkids. This…

http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2013/02/21/apocalypse_soon?wp_login_redirect=0 You almost got the essence. Almost. But halfway you just stopped thinking. Machines are created with purpose. Machines are devices that manifest the values and interests, not of the people that create them – but of the people that pay for them. Our whole world i about embedding financial interests of investors. It is…

Tomorrow (thursday 7 february 2012) this time I will be travelling to the city of Breda (a place I had sworn to never visit again, as it represents a lot of quite painful memories for me) to visit the court house for a hearing for my name change. The judge holding the hearing is Mr….

(Source: Washington post. Used with no discernible permission) WASHINGTON — They seem right out of a Hollywood fantasy, and they are: Cars that drive themselves have appeared in movies like “I, Robot” and the television show “Knight Rider.” Now, three years after Google invented one, automated cars could be on their way to a freeway…
