Is a programmable RFID chip freedom of expression?
An RFID chip is a small electronic device that is implanted in a human body. Such a device is embedded to contain information. These chips are implanted to tell things about a human being, such as identity or contractual information – such as a money debit system. This signifies a risk, since it means the…
Technological Dehumanization – zero Quantum of Solace
Human evolved from something else. The term human is linked to terms “humane” and “humanist”, and these terms imply benevolence and kindness. The suggestion being that alone among all animals and mammals humans have instincts towards charitable behavior. This isn’t strictly true – humans have a child-rearing instinct and that may in large part explain…
Uncle Sugar
“Libertarianism” will be victorious … … only when it acknowledges the majority of human beings will be left unemployed by the advance of technology and automation. The simple fact is that unemployed people create a vast and irresistible demand for government. The government is actively pushing to make this unemployment irreversible – jobs lost now…

2113/4 – Computronium Flavors
My series 2113 is a speculative series of articles on a fictional timeline of the future set one century from now. This time portrays the future as it might be based on several premises. One premise is that we have no major catastrophes, and progress persists more or less without major industrial or societal collapse…

2113 (part one) – Immortality and Taxes
It is the year 2113. It is a very strange future, and one that has been shaped by the world we are already forming. 2113 is a the result of good 21st century where people didn’t die, and there was no major collapse or instability, and very few people died. There was no “great reset”…
Major robotics paradigm shifts just itching to happen
– Someone creates robots that can go out in the environment and engage in meaningful activity for weeks or months without human intervention. – Someone creates robots that are robustly ambulatory in outdoor environments. – Robots with onboard batteries that allow them to operate for at least a day before seeking a recharge. – Very…
Planetary Seppuku just weeks before “The Singularity”
Let me add another existential risk to the list. It is 2040. Technology has advances explosively, changing the face of the planet completely. As a result disparity of affluence has completely escalated. In 2040 trends current from 2013 continue, and most people in the developed world get LESS, in relative terms than they do 30…

Freedom is slavery, Slavery is freedom
I normally regard Stefan Molyneux as an unmitigated, repugnant libertarian cunt, that deserves to be forcibly deported to the free trade zone of Somalia, but .. in this particular video I am mostly in agreement with his analysis.

The Dutch Pirate Party
The Dutch pirates in a very turmoiled state. Drama comes quickly in these here parts, and many people are in staunch disagreement with one another. A week ago I attended a national assembly (ALV) meeting in Delft. On an impulse I made myself available for inner membership council, and international representation, for which I both…

The Trap
(I will invariably edit this for spelling errors and messy. Stand by for final version) Several hundred million years ago a large object drifted in to the solar system. Deep inside the object was a dormant intelligence. The object swirled by the sun hundreds of times on a fast trajectory before it had sufficiently slowed…
