Date: March 17th, 2018 7:59 PM Author: azure diverse toilet seat Where existential values are naturalized and some flimsy form of objectified self-actualization replaces the historic human project of reunion with god? That our obsession with physical perfection will send us careening off the path laid out by our psychological imperative towards transcendence?
Or is it possible that some unfathomable level of material success is actually a precondition to such a reunion, and that transhumanism is the cr for eventually fulfilling human destiny? |
Date: March 17th, 2018 8:00 PM Author: Razzle garrison giraffe There is no human destiny, that's why transhumanists are so stupid. Are only destiny is to die. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3921625&forum_id=2#35628138) |

Date: March 17th, 2018 8:07 PM Author: azure diverse toilet seat Well wait a second, you in the same breath suggested there is no human destiny and then filled out precisely what that destiny is. Are you trading on destiny as a grand realization of history in the former case then suggesting a deflated predetermined sense in the latter?
Why can't the latter be an instantiation of the former? |

Date: March 17th, 2018 8:10 PM Author: Razzle garrison giraffe My point is, who cares?
I'll just quote Thomas Ligotti because he said it best:
“Transhumanism encapsulates a long-lived error among the headliners of science: in a world without a destination, we cannot even break ground on our Tower of Babel, and no amount of rush and hurry on our part will change that. That we are going nowhere is not a curable condition; that we must go nowhere at the fastest possible velocity just might be curable, though probably not. And what difference would it make to retard our progress to nowhere?” |

Date: March 17th, 2018 8:27 PM Author: azure diverse toilet seat Again I'm suggesting that going nowhere quickly might provide the conditions for building the Tower of Babel, and that we might glean a hint of what our destination is in the process.
