If you want something in the way of transhumanism, please take not of
the afore listed baddies; because they cannot even handle humanism, let alone
transhumanism.
Spudboy,
Please tell me how we will ever handle transhumanism or any
significant progress with a bunch of guys that only want to sit around and
whine? There is an analogy used about a pie. They say that if you want more
pie you have to either take some or another person's pie or you have to make
a bigger pie and get the same share as before. Actually the capitalists has
managed to accomplish two ends at the same time -- by making a bigger enough
pie he/she has gotten more pie for himself and had left enough pie to not
only give others more pie but to feed more people as well.
When I was reading the naysayers earlier today I kept remembering
Heinlein's statement that it was not only easier to be a living lion than a
dead jackel it was more fun also. Stand up we have nothing to lose but our
fears.
