You know what? I think your blinkers now have closed to a blindfold right
before your eyes. Your world is so black and white, with no alternatives
that there's no place left for rational thinking. You are not acting
transhuman, but inhuman at most. Your brain is more busy to insult
everyone who doesn't share your opinion, than to really understand the
situation. What a wonderful demonstration of how thin the layer of
civilization is, when primitive emotions are involved. And what a
wonderful demonstration, how "transhuman" you really are, raving like a
trained dog let lose. Where are all the great ideas about nanotech,
high-tech, etc.? Only idle sofa chatter? Your transhumanity only reaches
as far as to invent weapons, but isn't capable of thinking within social
systems. Maybe they are too complicated for such a technocratic mind.
Seems it only needs some TV programs to make a "transhuman" grab a club
and become a neandertaler again.
I'll try to leave this discussion now. We all will see in a few months
that nothing will be solved, everything will be messed up and if there
will be any winners, it will be the oil companies, not you and not me.
There will be more threats, which will need more money, which we'll all
miss for more sensibly things. In the end it will be the same game as in
Afghanistan: An unfinished job, and the real foes will gather right after
the troops have left - like they do just now in Afghanistan.
