/atheism/ - Atheism

>normies

The word is normalfag, you normalfag.

>religion-apologetic "atheists" (traitors)

If you treat atheism as an identity you are buying into the same caveman bullshit as the religious tards of dividing people into us and them instead of dividing ideas into good and bad.

>society is gay and lame

How's being 14? Please go masturbate in a corner and leave us alone.

>work pays less than effort

I think I get what you're trying to say here, but that is inarticulate as fuck.

>technology, the only good thing

Tech is a tool. It's neither good nor bad. Fortunately most people are good and choose to use tech for good ends.

>born too soon to become cybernetically enhanced ubermensch

Nigger, we're already growing organs in labs from stem cells. Once people see the potential of augmentation, we're going to go apeshit with it. Look how popular cosmetic surgery and steroids are. How delusional do you have to be to thing people won't jump at the chance to enhance their abilities. There will be a bigger push for augmentation tech than there was for infotech. And as we've established, you're 14. You may well live to leave your organic body behind altogether.

>only escape is to run innawoods and have even less

Or you could wait and busy yourself with contributing to technology. But of course you haven't learned patience yet, being 14.

>slowly wither to death

Quit being dramatic. Even excluding augmentations, you can live a long healthy life if you take care of yourself.

>might live to120 tops

Biological aging seems to be determined by genetics (although controlled through a lot of intermediate steps). There was a recent breakthrough in mice where young mice gave blood to old mice and slowed the aging process. It's moving forward to human trials now. Blood is an easily renewable resource; assuming returns don't diminish quickly, life expectancy could skyrocket if it works.

>after 80 body is as useful as a corpse anyway

There are 80+ year olds getting shit done. You just have to take care of your body. And fortunately for you, you're still just 14, so it's easier for you than most to form good habits that will last the rest of your life.

If you make excuses for irrationality you're enabling irrationality. You can divide bad ideas from good like you can divide idiots from the rest. The tribe is as idiotic as its parts, tribes aren't inherently stupid. In fact tribes with fewer idiots are less stupid.

>Tech is a tool. It's neither good nor bad.

Tools are enabling mechanisms, having an ability is good from the perspective of the person in control of it. It's not the abilities fault if I made the wrong decision with it, but it's good that I can make the decision if I so choose as there might be a scenario when applying it is useful. Nukes sucks to throw at each other but they could be used in the case of an Armageddon like event if we don't have something else Tech is good for you when its under your control but how you use it can be good or bad.

>Fortunately most people are good and choose to use tech for good ends.

Uhuh, that's why all this proprietary software is so bloated with spyware and botnet.

>you're a 14yr old edge master

You've got what the intergalactic call “a very planetary mindset”.

It's perfectly valid to have this opinion of circumstances especially when compared to what could be the ideal. Human life sucks on so many levels. Aging is a disease, it just affects everyone. But in the end it's a deterioration of your health, you can't be more disabled then when you're dead. And to make matters so unbearable we live in this death cult that desperately denies this so its members ease their unease over death instead of doing anything about it.

And no science is in a dismal state when it comes to this. There isn't a genuine initiative over this. Apparently it's more important we get proportions of skin tones and genitalia even before we can progress. Less than 1% of US budget goes to science, corporations actively suppress competitor discoveries, patents only drive the greedy who don't really care about the tecas much as exclusive rights on development slowing down progress, NASA is useless to the masses since we have Star Wars now, etc. And this popsci culture is retarded. "Fuck the guy who got us on the comet, his shirt is oppressive. Now lets invest in solar roadways while going to Deepak Chopra's quantum alignments. Oh and Dr Oz had this great new thing for me to lose weight." Oh and lets not forget the luddism over us "playing god" or it being unnatural. Sheesh, take off those rose tinted glass, mang.

I sincerely hope medicine develops in time but it's looking pretty grim.

>enabling irrationality

Applying an rational-irrational division to ideas doesn't mkae any sense. >>11223 is consistent enough with his own ideas.

>you can't be more disabled when you are dead

How can someone be both disabled and dead?

>hope medicine develops

The mice experiment doesn't count?

>>11232

>rational-irrational division to ideas doesn't make any sense

Yes it fucking does. The fuck kind of bullshit relativism is this? Some ideas are rational while others are not, and some ideas are true while others are false.

>is consistent enough with his own ideas.

Sure in that he just repeatedly asserted me to be a "14 year old edgemaster". That's a level of consistency close to saying "goddidit" for each question about how the universe came to be.

>How can someone be both disabled and dead?

dis·a·bled

ˌdisˈāb(ə)ld/

adjective

adjective: disabled

(of a person) having a physical or mental condition that limits movements, senses, or activities.

It's as limited as it gets, being no physical and mental functioning.

>The mice experiment doesn't count?

It counts but is so far away from being useful, just like the tissue engg he mentioned. That stuff is so far away from being practically useful. Very expensive, suture retention strength isn't there so it falls off, can't vascularize properly so tissue just dies, etc, etc.

So why don't you work to attain your goals instead of waiting for society to accomodate you?

>>11233

>bullshit relativism

It's not. Factscan be true or false. The idea that you can fly by flapping your arms is irrational because facts say otherwise. The idea that there is a god has nothing to do with anything.

>(of a person)

Unless you mean the ghost, there's no one there.

>>11234

I am, it's just disheartening looking at society, and at times it takes its toll.

>>11236

>Factscan be true or false.

If they're false they're not facts, rather factoids.

fact

noun \ˈfakt\

: something that truly exists or happens : something that has actual existence

: a true piece of information

>The idea that you can fly by flapping your arms is irrational because facts say otherwise.

Thus the division exists and is useful.

>Unless you mean the ghost, there's no one there.

There was until they were disabled to the point of nonexistence. Of a person still holds.

>>11228

It's not enabling rationality to treat it as a mental state rather than an identity.

Enabling mechanisms are only good because people tend to use them for good things. Nukes aren't only useful as weapons, by the way. Elon Musk wants to drop nukes on Mars's poles to get water flowing again.

Most popular software is made by an elite few who work very hard to protect their interests and quash competition.

I don't disagree shit's in a sorry state, but there are plenty of people who aren't idiots who are working on making things better, just like there always have been.

>>11236

>The idea that there is a god has nothing to do with anything.

except with the fact that there's no evidence that there's a god.

even if belief in god wasn't contradicted by something else it would still be an argument from ignorance
