Besides this, it is well to remember that words like reactionary, conservative, liberal, and radical come to us from 1789. The world of today is a far different place than was revolutionary France. The post singularity world will be vastly different…
You have absolutely nothing to fear from libertarians, objectivists, or the market, as such. It values only value-add, and does not care a wit if you are straight, gay, or whatever. I am straight not not narrow, and an appalled that gay people do no…
Well, Chemist, while it's nice to think that GOvernment can solve all our problems, the fact of the matter is it can't. History will vindicate me on this one. Not all corporations are huge, evil forest-raping goliaths who step on the little guy. Bec…
While I agree that all conservatives are not the religious right but lets look at the current state of conservativism. They try to blame the religious right for interferring in peoples lives but a majority of all self identified conservatives do not…
"the separation between conservatives and transhumanists will sharpen a lot."
That much seems guaranteed.
Who will decide to what extent to approach transhumanism conservatively or not? You? Me? Christians? Jews? Muslims? Agnostics? Atheists? The…
Well, I'm a conservative and transhumanist myself, so there ya go.
I think that Mike F. Hit the nail on the head. I'm a little concerned that it appears that the dominant view is that conservatives are anti-transhumanistic. I consider myself to be a fairly conservative libertarian. I would personally welcome an opp…

I think that in a couple of decades all people are going to be transhumanists.
If you haven't seen them, some posts on www.bloggingthesingularity.com do document the thoughts of SU students.
I'd be very thankful if someone who studied at SU writes something down about the experience. Since I decided to apply, I'd appreciate any advices.
Thank you in advance
I realize I came off as an us vs. them mentality. But I really do feel this has the potential to turn into a proverbial witch hunt, in which those who're superstitious will feel that post-humans and those who side with them. We might be lucky with r…
There's already been what I feel to be a clear indication that Congress will seek to ban genetic engineering. Going by what I've seen locally where I live though, most feel that it should have limitations imposed by society...instead of something th…
If I ask myself, I will. =)
I think I will be brave enough to overcome my body in order to broaden my physical and mental capacities.
It's very simple - the period during which humans and transhumans will live together won't last long because of the indescribable differences that will occur in every field of comparison. A possible scenario might be an isolation of the remained con…
