Re: The Transhumanist's Wet Dream

I think its an amazing documentary, really well done, the skeptics and doubters get a voice, and also the enthusiasts. But no matter what you think about the singularity, whether you think it should be stopped and we should all live like the amish people (the hum-anish as they say in the film) or if you cant wait to be transformed into a robot, cryogenically freezing your body (or your head) until it becomes possible - one thing is for certain: the singularity is coming, it cannot be stopped. I see no way this is not gonna happen.
I especially like what Hugo de Garis from Utah University has to say about this. But also Terence McKenna, Ray Kurzweil, and Max More do have interesting things to say. Even the Dalai Lama is in it! And guess what he welcomes the robots too. w00t! what do you think.

I refuse to assimilate…LOL

I saw the Japanese documentary on the robot they have made…they have their robots imitating human emotion…

Re: The Transhumanist's Wet Dream

come to think of it, their robots will probably be able to reach a state of enlightenment before any of us do…lmao*
