If there is one “transhumanist”-inclined movement out there I really admire and appreciate it is Terasem. I had the pleasure of interacting with its founder shortly before and after my attendance at Transvision 2010. For those who don’t know, the founder of Terasem is the very successful Martine Rothblatt, who was at one time the…

At the end of the fall of the iron curtain, about the early 1990s, “market liberals” basically abandoned the russian people and surrendered them in the hands of organized crime. The liberalization of free markets in Russia left humans in a pervasive state of poverty, crime, squallor, dirt and despair. Liberalization changed a “pretty dismal”…

Oil is a godsend. Seriously, oil is amazing. It is the biggest cake not just in history – it is the biggest gift since the Goddess invented plate tectonics. And guess what, humans since the Hindenburg have measured everything by the context of this affluence. All things in our current world are taken for granted…

The freedom to do “damn well as you please” is a fairly rational one and I support it. I myself, Khannea Suntzu, are no stranger to the desire to bloody well do as I please, and be left to my own devices. The problem however with the fundamentalist “Libertarian” ethic is that society operates in…

The most toxic quote of our age. “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” (Churchill) Why? Well it is most like fighting a severe disease like cancer. One very common treatment for cancer is chemotherapy/radiotherapy combination. This treatment sucks balls. Nobody…

By: Nick Meador Published: October 10, 2012 Source For a few decades now, signs have gradually accumulated in American culture that something is very wrong with our basic notions of work, careers, and “making a living.” The end of the 1990s stands out in particular, when many pointed criticisms of the current work paradigm appeared…

DANVILLE, KY—Lying fully nude with his wrists and ankles tied to the corners of his hotel room bed, an intense, sweat-drenched Paul Ryan reportedly told his staffers today that the only way he could prepare for Thursday night’s vice presidential debate was if they slapped his naked, bound body harder and harder. Sources confirmed the…

First – the perfect genetic human specimen. I want the majority of women in the world to have the freedom to look like this. Youth and skin pigmentation included and that would entail a massive upgrade. Forever. At least for as long as they want to. Penis optional. Now we have established that, on towards…

In order of concern. Human-Man global warming is going to be far worse than the worst expectations. It has to be dealt with and the cost will be gruesomely expensive. Six degrees average temperature rise means we lose 99% of all life on the planet, and that includes humans. Oil and other petrochemical sourced of…

A REALLY Inconvenient Truth: Dan Miller from The Berkeley Cybersalon on FORA.tv

Cornelius?

Maybe a bit drama but hey. Probably won’t be last time. 🙂

The world is evolving towards insane and surreal. Right now we are likely to face a considerable decay in the world’s living standards. With “we” I am saying, “all of humanity”. By doing some minor arrhythmic the conclusion should be that if we lose collective affluence in some kind of collapse, the vast majorities of…

The following is the article outline for my presentation at Arse Elektronika, late september in San Francisco. YES This sob is long, with 23K words, almost like an ebook. I am on the spaker list thanks to the generous sponsorship and support from VenusPlusX for which I am excrutiatingly grateful. More information about my attendance…

An intelligence, resp. a ‘GDP’ that goes exponential/nova (appreciably close to infinity) will inescapably be ownership-based. That means the benefits of such a “phase shift” in existence will be appreciably exclusive. Any degree of exclusivity in extreme logarithmic disparities will casually displace any mind that does not share in its apartheid centered exclusivity as casually…

Most perfect slogan of this month. Hilarious.

(Sauce) This Labour Day, a giant political issue lurks in the wings of the global stage. Though, for some reason, it seems shy. It was peeking from behind the curtain at last week’s Republican convention, but, blushing, it never really came on stage to dance. Britain’s deputy prime minister, Nick Clegg, addressed it with his…
