/th/ - Transhumanism

>What are all the ISIS shitstains gonna do after the singularity?

Get killed.

You gotta remember, the Middle East's current geopolitical situation is basically a balance of idiocy and oil. A transhuman nation would be able to make a lot more war a lot more effectively and a lot cheaper. ISIS doesn't have a nuke, and can't comprehend the science needed to get one. If they had access to nanomachines, AIs, or biotech, they'd never be able to use them; anyone with a real understanding of the subject isn't a member of ISIS.

You said it yourself: creation is stressful and arduous. These guys can't create what they'd need to effectively wage war against a transhumanized military, and the transhuman nation sending them would probably have fewer compunctions about simply killing all of them and taking over (because we'd actually have a functioning set of logical long-term ethics).

I heard (don't remember where exactly) that lots of recruited terrorists are bretty good engineers. There's something about their mindset that makes them weak against radical islam brainwashing.

Of course, they are too busy making bombs out of casio-watches and stuff, but them getting their hands on some future tech and reverse engineering it is a possibility.


Some arabs already hijacked a drone or two. Granted, military went full retard on that one and didn't encrypt radio-link whatsoever, but there are no gurantees there won't be another human error laike that in the future.

There's a difference between development and nigger rigging. The main weapons they have of ours are the ones that the fleeing Iraqi army left behind.

Consider ISIS' ability to kidnap or otherwise force the hands of those who can operate and develop these weapons and tech

They burned the Jordanian pilot, they didn't try to make him fly planes for them.

ISIS may be able to kidnap and force individual people in individual situations, but there's no way in hell they can do it to enough people to establish the infrastructure necessary to actually make that work, most of which never get remotely near ISIS.

If the singularity is what everyone is selling it as, then ISIS is going to mean less than nothing to transhumans.

Now, non-singularity transhumans could still conceivably be threatened. The technology for a nuclear bomb is not so complex that some ISIS chucklefuck could not understand it.

wiped out, anyone who refuses transhumanism at some point will have to be wiped out.

why take a bomb when you can strap an emp to yourself as a human being, live, and still kill civilian targets. this is the danger they pose.
