Anti Trans-Humanist
The future of our species is at a cross-roads today. I will not participate in the extinction of our race, and I will oppose all who do.
I believe it is clear now that the world is at the cusp of a new age. I believe it is clear now that if we survive the next ten years we will see true artificial general intelligence and that AGI will be a Pandora's Box onto the world.
I believe that if we do survive to see the next fifteen-to-twenty years, our current way of life can be made simple by the technology in our near future. Simple to the point of dramatically reshaping our society to forgo the surplus of today's inefficient self-governance.
Unnecessary Human labor (Jobs)
Unnecessary Human consumption (Diet)
Unnecessary environmental output (Technology)
Unnecessary Human birth rates (Life)
To name a few...
Having control of these factors of Humanity would cause a necessary recalculation of all previous moral ambitions, and I believe it is more likely than not, if we do remain in control of AGI as a force for our own benefit, we will use it to make our lives easier, less abrasive, and more self-indulgent.
Self-indulgence is antithetical to purpose.
Women literally cannot understand anything that isn’t directly tied to being a woman, which is why I think the whole idea of emotional intelligence and emotional maturity is often misused.
To them “emotional maturity” sounds like, “I don’t understand masculinity or what it entails, so you need to think and act more like a woman for me to understand you.”
That’s why you will see women encouraging men to be more vulnerable, emotional, and expressive….not just because it benefits the
man, but because it makes his behavior easier for them to interpret through a framework they already understand.
This is why when single women raise their sons, they encourage emotional habits more common in girls, which can lead to boys who are overly emotional or dependent…often called “mama’s boys.”
Men, on the other hand, usually understand both male and female expectations better, which is why fathers tend to guide their children more clearly.
This is why strong father-child relationships always shape kids in traditional ways: daddy’s girls grow into more feminine women, and father’s sons grow into more masculine men.
You are driving home from work.
Your wife and 2 children home waiting for your arrival
Crossing an intersection a truck driven by a drunk man t-bones you killing you instantly
You awaken in an unfamiliar house
Your wife and children smiling at you.
Your wife says "did it calibrate correctly?"
You suddenly remember everything
You are the XR-Tesla Model 9 home companion.
Your simulated life was designed to calibrate you to love and protect the family that purchased you.
>Written history is 6,000 years old.
>Bible accounts for 6,000 years of history
>Atheists
REEEEEEE
>Agnostics
Hmm..
It was secular observations like this that caused me to deny atheism and turn to Christ.
You can't prove a new thought to these people... because they can't understand conditional hypotheticals. You can't change someone's mind- if they can't understand the conditional mental bridge to arrive there.
- work? optional
- life expectancy? 145
- testosterone? back to 1970 levels
- aging? reversible by half in 90 days
- organs? printed to your exact spec same day
- birth rates? fixed by embryo tech and artificial wombs
- IQ? 35 points higher on average after germline editing normalized
this is an ideal life if 2038
we are so close please don't quit now.
Delegate tasks to them. When they fail, be sure to be there and encourage them to grow. It is not a threat to be in charge of those who aren't as smart as you- be thankful you have a teammate who can take responsibility at all. If they are incapable, they will learn this lesson on their own.
Is it not a complete fourth wall break when you're alone, maybe getting hungry and you say- with no company near you at all: let's have a sandwich! Yeah that sounds good!
Who the hell are you talking to?
Delegate tasks to them.
When they fail, be sure to recognize it and support their growth. Become their biggest supporter, because you know they're better than that.
Being smarter doesn't mean being a threat. Support them. Root for them and their success.
Since Al is making everyone sound more generic and NPC, I recommend becoming the most unhinged version of you, to counterbalance. Write like a crazy person who hasn't interacted with humanity in years. Break any and all of the rules. Live like a mad, drunk poet. Now is your time to channel the weirdest version of you.
Neuralink is being advertised as a way to help humanity, but the repercussions of this technology are going to transform our race into something completely unrecognizable. Your great grandchildren will be unrecognizable to your great grand father if they could meet.
@XFreeze Neuralink is a much bigger breakthrough than most people realize.
Enabling people to control a computer with their mind and the completely blind to see are Jesus-level miracles.
the golden rule is that you should rarely if ever try to change anyone’s mind.
this is a fool’s errand cuz it rarely works, & even when it does the belief you installed is way weaker, the person becomes resentful, & everything dynamic from then on becomes borrowed instead of owned.
you can only gently probe until you understand why they arrived at that conclusion. then you must move on like it never happened. this is true for any type of relationship including professional but esp true in romantic dynamics.
Question for you:
Why do we say things like "Dang it?"
Dang
Damn it
Shoot
Screw it
Who are we talking to when we say in exasperation "Why!" Or "OH my GOD!"
Is this not like, a completely obvious fourth wall break? If our society developed, never having religion as a part of it- would we still not have some variation of those interjections that seem to cry out to a higher power?
Why do we, as atheists, or those without religious belief say phrases like "OH MY GOD" When they themselves dont even believe in such a thing?
Elon Musk predicts that in the very near future, humans will have chips implanted directly into their brains, creating a brain-machine interface capable of giving people cybernetic superpowers.
Musk says the technology could restore eyesight, allow paralyzed people to walk again, and even help the mute speak.
He described the coming breakthrough as “Jesus-level technology.”
“These are kind of Jesus-level things.”
Holy shit, we’re probably all going to be around for safe in vivo age reversal. And like Elon said, working will become optional.
Humanity will finally stop surviving and start living.
Time is a measurement of distance around the sun. The perception of chronological events is congruent with the linear measurement of distance, but, it is our consciousness that unfolds in one direction. So, why is it that way? Is the question.
