the most important thing about transhumanism and singularity is that everyone must have freedom and choice to change or not change, NO ultimatum, no backing into corners, no forcing however direct or indirect.


we must have freedom and we must have infinite choices. nobody must ever be forced to be a part of something they don't want to be.


technology is COOL, but we need to have the freedom to evolve or to stay who we are in any way or combination.

we must not force ourself on others. we must live and let live.


do not let this become something bad.



the propaganda is everywhere but we must all come to an agreement that we will not be bad, but instead free and loving.

Peace.

why no replies. WHY?

 No.197

>>196
Because everyone agrees.

 No.200

>>197
agrees with me? well good then, but a reply wouldn't hurt the spread of good information.

 No.221

It seems to me that what will happen is a divide in society that has access to the singularity and those that get left behind. It probably won't much be about choice, more about weather you have enough currency to keep up with it. That is the bad thing I see about the technological singularity people are so afraid of.

>>221
if there ever is a singularity, money shouldn't be involved in anyones life anymore. logically speaking it would lose all of its value because everyone would have access to the best technology (rapidly evolving constantly as well) and the spread of information would be free, massive, unrestricted, endless freedom.

there is no reason that money of any kind should exist when the singularity takes place (if it does)

 No.258

>>241
This would only be true if technology puts an end to material scarcity of rivalrous goods. I don't see that becoming a reality because organisms tend to expand to meet the carrying capacity, but we can hope and try.

the technology will be so good that people will have the freedom and ability to pack up their bags and fly to a planet far away, terraform it/build a base full of hydroponic farming on some asteroid/space station far far away, basically set up their own little safe bunker country/home, their little island in space.

we won't compete because the technology and free communication of data and knowledge will continue to advance while we all spread out, eventually making it so that we don't even need to go and find resources anymore because we will be able to make our own.

when everyones needs are completely taken care of and technology is at a place where people don't really have to worry about anything anymore, (if they haven't already become transcended beings of pure consciousness through some amazing event after they became super intelligent awarenesses in computers before that first)

then the number one goal of humanity will basically be "be careful, self preservation and preservation of humanity and other living things, love they neighbor, make room for nature, and find out new ways to have fun"

so basically everyone is going to become kids again and be protectors and have fun, its going to essentially be technological innocence and freedom.

we will stop bad things from happening whenever we can (without being controlling nazi's about everything since we have learned better by now! HAVEN'T WE!!!? YES!) and just run around having fun and playing space tag and space hide and go seek. eating cookies and pizza but somehow not getting fat because technology.

maybe big G in the sky will smile upon us.


peace! :D

people like you are gonna be the first to willingly receive a brainchip. even beg for it.

and that day will be the beginning of the humanity's last and ultimate downfall.

There's a /cyber/ thread for this if anyone is interested

 No.286

>Hoffman: HURR DURR OLD PEOPLE
That's the main reason why old people avoid the internet. They want privacy. Why do we even have retirement homes anyway? These people are Communists who want everyone in a retirement home on Sudafed linked up to a Computer Hivemind like in Futurama.

>Zuckerberg:HERP DERP 4000 ADDRESSES I'M A JACKOFF LIKE THAT MYSPACE GUY. THEY TRUST ME. DUMB FUCKS.

He can't even trust people in person. Dumb fuck.


>Eric Schmidt: IM SANTA CLAUS I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE.

Eric Schmidt is a fucking pussy who can't deliver presents. Do no evil. Ha! More like Doubt all good.

>Blowjob-giving Zuckerberg incest-waifu: NO ANONYMITY AT ALL.

Shut the fuck up bitch, I'm behind ghostery, adblock, noscript, privacy badger, and soon to be 7 proxies, a VPN and a meshnet. If you try to stab me in the back in person, I'm gonna cut you down. I'm a Texan who remembers the alamo.

Hmph, what a bunch of deceitful morons. Dumb Fucks.

and then the oil ran out and all the utopians had to sell their glass house because it was too hard to keep cool or warm

 No.311

>>263
dude what, I'm one of the most against "mark of the beast" brain chip tinfoil hats out there. I hate how they fluoridate my water without my permission.

I think that we will have freedom to control our own technology that we will be so smart that we will be able to invent it on the spot.

basically the concept of unlimited freedom.

we would be free from the government too, I pray.

 No.312

>>286
you are stupid to underestimate evil monsters and corporations, people have every right to be aware, afraid, and beyond upset with these bastards.

people want freedom and privacy and less nazi bullshit.

I mostly agree with you, OP.
Here's two hours of great insight.

 No.518

It would be safe for people to give up their anonymity if they could trust that those in power would handle the information responsibly, but there's no sign of that responsibility. The USA already locks people up in such huge numbers for doing relatively harmless drugs. What are they going to do to all the people of religions, sexuality, or political beliefs they don't approve of? Lock em up, medicate them, recondition them, use them for slave labor, use them up and spit out their corpses at an even greater rate than they already do.

What they're teaching us is that information security procedures are important to educate yourself about as a basic necessity for life.

 No.519

>>518
Nobody who asks you to surrender your anonymity can be trusted with it.

 No.538
