AhhhhHHHHHHh! Please *READ* my post as you obviously *didn't* the first
time!

You missed my entire my point which showed exactly that. I'll repeat it
again:

**There is NO meaningful difference between Hyper-AI's and Transhumans.**

Now that I've made that clear, my conclusions regarding the argument of
'who grants rights to who' becomes moot.

Paul.

P.S. Why are so many people on this list so preoccupied with shredding
peoples arguments that they don't even bother reading or trying to
understand what other people are writing? If there is a loss of S/N on
this list, it's due in large part to people putting their ego's and elitist
bully attitudes first over genuine and healthy discussion and debate. Am I
alone on this list in thinking this way?
