Let's not get into "post-humanism"

If we ever develop True AI, it would mirror our own pathologies, become self-interested through it's own insights into the nature of ALL life (not just humanity), and wouldn't give a fuck what we want. You think true AI would value human life? Especially non-productive dregs insisting the world be handed to them for doing nothing? True AI would determine that resources are finite, and most (if not all) of us humans are increasingly wasteful, inefficient, and entirely expendible.

If we did actually get to the point where machines do all the work you think they're gonna keep the peons alive? Ever play Warcraft??

no, sentient machines would likely be the end of humanity. we could very handle erect a prison all our own, filled with mindless automatons to enforce rule of law. the surveillance state could sustain an ideology indefinitely.

And no that's not good.

Speaking of Big Lebowski, you're a nihilist.

I feel bad for folks that think the government has their best interest or it cares about them. The government is a vicious guard dog if you don't keep it on a short leash and train it well it's going to kill you and your family

the thing is, that your side had good intentions, and it was made abundantly clear that they are NOT the lesser of two evils, just another evil.

But you fail to see that, so that's why we rip on you.

I cant wait for republican libtards in the year 2040 to constantly remind conservative democrats that the party flipped in 2024 and it was the NEW republicans, that were the OLD republicans, that free'd the slaves, after the parties flipped in 67 but then flipped back in 024

snip snap snip snap snip snap

do you have any ideas how much the physical tole having 3 party flips has on a country?!

[mickmoranis]

liberalatarians we'll call em

Mick is spot on, once again

Its just a lack of courage, really.

If you never take a stance on anything, and all you do is attempt to criticize the vulnerabilities of others, you might as well not even be here. You're not actively participating in the discourse.

There are plenty of others offering the same opinions/critiques while actually, at least, attempting to posit solutions of their own as well.

It's just kind of uselessly redundant antagonism, bruh.

Cheers
