Division
Large segments of society are embracing a cadaver willingly, full of desire. The Cadaver is Thanatos, the will to embrace death itself. Division was created based on the works of Clancy, not a moral human being to start with, and this game revels in the adoration of a world where millions have died under horrible…
Eumemics
I wrote an article about “Eugenics” several years ago, and at the time I didn’t fully appreciate how insidiously tainted the term “eugneics” has become. Eugenics is a curse word. The very idea of Eugenics can no longer be disassociated from the atrocities waged in its name. On account of this idea people were imprisoned,…

Hi K! “The collapse of petrodollar, is that a good thing or bad? How will for example Sweden be affected? How will i personally get affected?” Hi Kris. The US implemented and imposed a world financial order at the end of WW2. At the time this system, which I can call “the global trade reserve…
Derelict
Quentin Mabille . We were tired of our mundane lives in an un-augmented biosphere. As Transhumans, some of us booted up our mind-uploads while yet others ventured out into the desert of the real world in temperature regulated nano-clothing, experiencing a tropical paradise… even as the “naturals” would deny it’s very existence.

Dear Khannea
Hey K! I have checked some discussions on UN agenda 21. What is your opinion on that? American tv channel Fox News is trying to pluck agenda 21 to pieces. They even suggest that 21 group want to biohazard at lots of ppl to death for sort of “start over”. Is it any truth to…
Laptop Needed! Halp please?
As some of you people know I don’t have a high income. In fact I feel I have a pretty lousy income. You may also know I often frequent events in other countries where I do presentations. Last year I still had a fairly decent laptop. Then I went to Tenerife for a project and…

The Voice of Reason
Voice sounds remarkably like that of my dearly departed friend Dan. Which is probably a coincidence.
Should Transhumanist Abandon the Corporatist Capitalist model?
Look, the article and book by Zoltan Istan is just a great story. I recommend buying the book. The basic premise of the book is quite sound – “religious and reactionary US extremists take over the nanny state apparatus of a United States wracked by failure and inadequacy, and crack down in a paroxysm of…
Lifting the Lid on the Politics of Climate Change
Pure Dread
Here’s a nice story. Last year I spent a few days and nights in central San Francisco. I stayed in this hotel, just north of Tenderloin. It was a fairly rough neighborhood, coming from local hobbit ville frame of reference. I liked it all right and I had no issues there. The cops didn’t even…
Flying Polyp Infestation
I was always fascinated about those looming black basalt cities of the Flying Polyps. I came across the wikipedia page of these Lovecraftian Monsters, with some mediocre art. I am sure I can do better. The basic premise is that these spectral monstrosities infest planets. They are truly alien, far more alien than most Lovecraftian…

Ten Responses to the Technological Unemployment Problem
(source) On the internet and in the media there has been growing discussion of technological unemployment. People are increasingly concerned that automation will displace more and more workers—that in fact there might be no turning back at this point. We may be reaching the end of work as we know it. What happens if vast…
This is a battle for the soul of humanity
Humanity had natural, emergent direction and purpose in the Pleistocene. Direction was determined by very simple selective pressures. Humanity either acted or it died, and life as a result was relatively straightforward … or at least for those who survived. Then the Holocene happened, continental sheet ice melted, waters flooded lowlands and humanity was compressed…
A good transhumanist friend
Overly cautious Luddites.
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…
