You don't back up your opinions with any scholarship, and your sentence construction leaves much to be desired. If you're going to fill an essay with unnecessarily large words in the hope that it will give weight to your "arguments" you should try to actually use them correctly. It's like you're trying to fill a 3-page requirement on a freshman English paper by using the word "superlative" over and over, but I'm not convinced you even know what it means.<br />As to your polemic against your idea of transhumanism...oy. You've put quasi-futuristic clothing on a straw man, and you appear to have convinced yourself that it is real so you can beat up on it. I think you read one William Gibson novel and decided that that's how we all are. Try spending some time talking to actual transhumanists about what they actually think. Transhumanism is a real intellectual movement filled with people who actually understand science. If you're going to attack them, you need to do more homework than is evidenced here.<br />Now pardon me, I'm going to go join a robot cult and worship Elon Musk.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810171600555254947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956838.post-11000829907695621472014-08-28T01:39:17.030-07:002014-08-28T01:39:17.030-07:00I find it amazing that I can't find a single a...I find it amazing that I can't find a single argument amongst so much vocabulary.

Which is what we have today; our entire society, and those operating within it, is the product of SOCIAL engineering and programming....See Google algorithms knowing what you will type BEFORE you type it!<br />It may also be called a Global Corporate Control Grid...and encompasses all dimensions and sectors of society; Science, Religion, Media, Academia, Military, Medical, Entertainment, Finance. Somewhat analogous to what was portrayed in the movie "Rollerball". Incidentally, Holly wood was the type of wood from a tree that the Celtic Druids used to make their magic wands!

There is no fore-ordained "Next Step." You reveal yourself an ignoramus in the very performance of what you take to be your superiority.<br /><br />That word "ignoramus" actually has a legible reference in the world, there can be no adequate description without some measure of name calling, I'm afraid. But it is good to know that while you pine for the extermination, or at any rate for the eclipse, of an "inferior" humanity you do draw the line at name calling. And, hon, Robot Cultists of all people really should take some care about ridiculing the curious religiosity of others.Dale Carricohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811055279887722298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956838.post-47247129431648634912013-07-06T15:39:11.979-07:002013-07-06T15:39:11.979-07:00While I won't stoop down to the level of name-...While I won't stoop down to the level of name-calling, I will point out that you've made a sweeping generalization about Tranhumanism. CISHumanism makes the assumption that we are a lot full of "Cyber-Cultists". Tranhumanism calls for human excellence. I grow weary of having to share this planet with a race who has refused to move on to the next evolutionary step. <br />We are still busy murdering/robbing/raping one another in the name of ______ (insert idiotic religious/nationalistic/"racially" empowering movement in the blank spot.
