Humans want to survive. Religion is about getting “saved”, and the desire to be saved is basically an allegory on the urgency to want to live. Living isn’t always fun (ask Eugen) but over-all it beats being dead. The desire to live is innate to us as human beings, and many would want to do…

1) The human state of dominance on this planet is ending. We are stumbling in to a largely inescapable monstrosity. We have experienced, as an animal being, a state of relative innocence. Being a nomadic, hunter-gatherer homo sapiens signified a state of Eden, largely because we didn’t know any better. Now because of blind luck…

1) Humans will merge with technology, to a rapidly increasing extent. This is a new phase of the evolution of our species, just picking up speed about now. The divide between natural and artificial will blur, then disappear. Some of us will continue to be humans, but with a radically expanded and always growing range…

() The United States is clearly in an advanced state of decline. Many people around the world (and even inside America) rejoice at this, but not me. I mourn for the country that I was born in and that I still love. Yes, the United States has never been perfect, but the Republic that our…

Transhumanism is real, but only for the rich, and only for the 1-10%. Either work hard and smart to get into that group, or you will be either depopulated peacefully or via force. Make your choices now. If you don’t think you are competent enough to be in that 1-10%, then make your peace with…

Sauce A Christian magazine warns that homosexuality is caused by sex with succubi — and that’s just the beginning. The reigning scientific consensus on sexual orientation is that it’s an inherited, biological trait, but that’s just because scientists don’t know how to party. A far sexier explanation has been offered up by Christian magazine Charisma,…

Facebook wants to get rid of the up-vote button. And what does it actually mean, other than a virtual pat on the head? As virtual pats on the head come, I’d prefer a more tangible one. So what if we can? What if we can have a button on Facebook, approved or not by Marky-mark,…

Here are some visual interpretations of massive waste of collective societal resources and capital in my current city. I strongly propose a law to nationalize/collectivize empty (half finished) resources and buildings such as these – worldwide. Local unemployment levels are over 25%. The question I am asking here is “if a private party uses the…

Just saying hello, was curious on your opinions on the lastest occurences in the world. America, post election and ‘super weather’, from an external view, they look to be holding firm, running everything as normal, although fuel rationing must be a shock to some. Something else I’ve heard lately is this move of western manufacturers…

The Peace of War. Syria.

George Dvorsky, IO9 Most science fictional and futurist visions of the future tend towards the negative — and for good reason. Our environment is a mess, we have a nasty tendency to misuse technologies, and we’re becoming increasingly capable of destroying ourselves. But civilizational demise is by no means guaranteed. Should we find a way…

Human enhancement and the future of work – Workshop report The Human enhancement and the future of work project explored potential enhancements arising from advances in science and engineering that are likely to impact on the future of work. Key messages identified by participants at a workshop in March 2012 included: Enhancement technologies could change…

Mitt Romney Khannea Suntzu 1. Corporations are the basic units of society. Corporations are people, and the overriding purpose of an economy is to maximize corporate profits. When profits are maximized, the economy grows fastest. This growth benefits everyone in the form greater output, better products and services, and higher share prices. 1. Corporations are…

To answer your question… Imagine the Greek economy a few years ago as a buss, speeding out of control, down a steep hill. You are watching this scene unfold in slow-motion. Some bystanders can see that there is huge drop ahead, and they call out to the buss-driver to brake immediately. The buss-driver keeps his…

I have been invited to attend http://www.spaceacad.org/event.php in january 2013. (Assuming the world still exists then). I would hold two presentations there and whereas I have two solid ideas for a presentation clearly I have no funding. Attendance costs are 300e, and travel costs would be in the order of 500e. I assume additional costs…

Source Cosmism, in its modern version formulated by Ben Goertzel in his wonderful book A Cosmist Manifesto, is my personal philosophy. Two very interesting recent discussions on the KurzweilAI Forums, “Why New Agers will never accept Terasem” and “Cosmism, Terasem etc. – what is the missing ingredient?,” have interesting thoughts on how to make it…

The US is having an arterial bleeding and is calling it an orgasm.
