Quoted from here “Hi, Silimary. I didn’t expect to see you here. I thought you’d be at your feminist group. Don’t you guys meet on Saturday nights?” “Oh hi, Thrust. I quit that group. Outgrew it. They’re determined to let outdated, defeatist mindsets rule their bodies and minds.” “Really? That’s odd – for a group…

Homily of His Holiness Emperor Palpatine I Palm Sunday, (17 April 2011, Coruscant) Dear Brothers and Sisters, Dear younglings! It is a moving experience each year on Palm Sunday as we go up the mountain with the Force, towards the a well managed emperial bureaucracy, accompanying the midichlorians in their somewhat mysterious guidance.

Space Solar Power – Recent Conceptual Progress
Reprinted from here This is a guest post by Keith Henson. Keith can be reached at hkeithhenson at gmail dot com. Power satellites are an idea that has been around since the late 1960s [1] but not developed commercially because we don’t know how to build an inexpensive space transport system.

More on Farcebook
As some of you farcebook clients know I feel annoyed by some things happening there. While I suck at being a leader of any protest movement (I am an individualist) there is this page there. Non filthbook users can’t see that. My reply is this: Well, if you now so eloquently make this point I…
A question on Farcebook
“are you a Robot” ? I replied (edited): I am not human. I am not sure what I am actually. What was inside this body more or less deconfigured. It’s hard to use the word “I” in this sense because the normal frame of reference collapses at this level of introspection. Something from ‘outside’ almost…
Shut Down (17)
Many Transhumanists and right wing market fetishists (i.e. mafia enablers) keep housing out the unmitigated optimisn (perpetuate their share in the ponzi scheme) but the disconnect gets worse and worse. We aren’t all of us “getting richer and richer”. The horses are turning to mice people. Give it up and make it work – make…

Club of Amsterdam
Despite the sluggish attempts to engage people for H+, yesterday I had the fortune to create the opportunities to create massive strides forward. Depending on what I’d assume my goals are (networking? making money? having fun? being iconoclastic? making money? leaving a lasting legacy of value? living forever? create ze better vorld for ze childrrren?)…

Can we develop and test machine minds and uploads ethically?
Reprinted from here A fundamental principle of bioethics requires the consent of a patient to any medical procedure performed upon them. A patient will exist the moment a conscious mindclone arises in some academic laboratory, or hacker’s garage. At that moment, ethical rules will be challenged, for the mindclone has not consented to the work…

We do not have sufficient export products and our wages are too low. We cannot reorganize or educate ourselves effectively. We find that we are unacceptably poor and many of us…
The Shallow End of the Masturbation Pool
He’s at it again. The girl or guy who calls itself VC (short for Vigilant Citizen) wrote an article about the music video of Stefanie – Lady Gaga, “Born This Way” at “Vigilant Citizen”. The apophenia brigade forgot their morning meds and are hollaring about double rainbows again. Yes it’s all about this Video: [youtube…
