Do I exist? I think I do. Well for those who know me, Facebook was annoyed with me after I posted a video of me dancing “in fetish gear” on the Wasteland party. My account was restricted from Monday 2 December onwards and after some clumsy interactions this situation seemed to tighten and escalate. When…

In most of the western world we have a prevailing societal model of self-reliance and personal responsibility. It’s easy to see the limitations of this model – people get old and sick, most people have emotional or other vulnerabilities and significant periods in our life we are just unable to protect ourselves. To engender protected…

In the year 2014 A.D, the human species may have expanded completely out of bounds. To transcend boundaries is within out nature. That is what we do. It is ordained. It is written. We appear to have transcended my limits imposed upon us by nature. Nature imposes, not out of will, because because of the…

Facebook takes complaints from users about nudity seriously. So when I posted an article about the applications of Oculus Rift in a few dozen groups on Facebook, I made the header image for the article not depicted. The problem is that Facebook ignores attempts at making header images for articles not visible, and when you…

After a lengthy discussion with a friend I started brainstorming. Based on that brainstorming session I wrote one of my messy impromptu emails to a consular office of the US. To my utter surprise I got a response. Hi I am talking to a US citizen client who wishes to remain anonymous at this stage….

The most stupid and morally depraved thing Singularitarians and Transhumanists can conclude is that a Singularity is one giant Rapture of guaranteed goodness. This is simply not true. To make the claim that The Singularity MUST be good, like some kind of ontological destiny guaranteed by the cosmos itself, is an exercise in willful ignorance….

Why would I regard some movie such as “The Purge” as anything other than irrelevant violence porn? The Purge is a movie set in a near future Dystopia United States, Nine (!) years after a nonviolent coup. In the fictional universe of the Purge one night every from year 7:00 PM March 21 to 7:00…

I may appreciate individual Palestinians (or Arabs) as dear friends (or occasionally lovers) but you can’t expect me to actually like the culture, their religion and their politics. I’d rather not deal with Palestinians or Arabs, insofar these people exhibit their transitional cultural preferences. I don’t like Arab men because by and large I have…

Let’s face it. Basic Income seems unthinkable in most capitalist western democracies. Most voters wouldn’t want it, corporations sure as hell don’t want it and by and large government parties can’t be bothered with the idea. The implementation pathway for such a social project as Basic Income seems wrought with challenges. Try engage some US…

/> Badly managed countries inflict damage on their neighbors. We can’t hold countries accountable for callous disregard for their own people and land, but we can file complaints as soon as the faulty policies cross borders. One such consequence is mass-migration. As you can read from this article migration is increasing. The people doing the…

CNN, Washington DC, June 20 2018. Retail organizations in the US experienced nothing like this – “it feels a lot like a consumer strike. We always assumed our customers had money to purchase our products and services, and frankly they no longer do”. The American Retail and Service Institute conducted a 6 month study on…

IEET The clock is ticking. Aubrey was just there at the cusp of the new millennium to emphasize the point that conceivably someone can do this. He was the first to make this point in a particularly emphatic, plausible, rational manner. Any number of similarly talented, motivated, resourced people could have taken up this gauntlet….

My series 2113 (2114( 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. This fictional timeline assumes things will be a logical extension of the world of 2014, will perpetuate all things…

Basic Income is idea that’s very difficult to compellingly sell to policymakers. Among policymakers I count the people that might have a sway on the acceptance and implementation of a basic income: – elected politicians – non-elected career bureaucrats – governmental academics and scientists – the banking sector – career lobbyists – (other) sponsors of…

What is Eusingularization? This term implies two things, first – the prefix Eu- for ‘good’, or “desirable”. That simple prefix conceptually implies that there is a range and diversity of possible “Singularities”. There isn’t “the” Singularity. Anyone who keeps talking about “the” Singularity simply doesn’t get it. The second implication of my use of the…

Connection is the transformation of humanity into trans- or post-humanity. – P. J. Manney . Hello everyone. I am Khannea Suntzu. My avatar name happens to coincide with my real life name as of last year. I am a transsexual artist from the Netherlands, and my chosen artform is “lifestyling” and “civil recalcitrance”. I blog,…

I am interested on proposals for collecting BitCoin donations to hire independent mercenaries or soldiers of fortune to 1 – find Boko Haram, and find the girls kidnapped, upon which the mercenaries would receive a certain amount of Bitcoin for every girl released, upon providing evidence the girl was kidnapped and vide (youtube) evidence of…

First article link, second article link, Terasem, Soleri City, Martine RothBlatt, Philip Linden, Giulio Prisco, High Fidelity Wiki, High Fidelity Homepage. We stand at the point in history when technology is catching up to ambitions. When Second Life started in 2003 it was a very constrained means for Virtual Reality Realization. Betweren 2005-2009 we went…

I would like to hear opinions on how we can rationally and scientifically decide what maximum yearly income should be warranted in specific countries. I am in favor of democratically deciding to impose a maximum income, and applying a 100% tax above that maximum income. If I were to personally express a preference relevant to…

I classify the wannabee “successful” as in part deluded and in part collaborators. Primarily I simply define personal success not as in amassing individual wealth, but rather how you contribute to shared collective wealth. If you do that, sure I don’t have issues with a reward. It is no longer possible for an appreciable percentage…
