Transhumanism

[calamity]

It's a philosophical bowel movement, is what it is.

No more so than the sky daddy concept.

 

[Good4Nothin]

No, it is actually the truth. The percentage of people who go into remission and live longer than 5 years has drastically increased over the last 20 years. Such biogenics as Gleevec has played a strong roll in that.

Earlier diagnosis results in the illusion of an increase in 5 year survival. The cancer industry wants you to believe it's providing cures.

It actually isn't a relgion, but a philosophical movement.

Ah, but yours lacks the pun.

I was cured. I know people who have been cured. The conspiracy forum is thataway.

I said that certain kinds of cancer can be cured. But most cannot. Most cancer treatments just try to extend life for a year or two.

Congrats.

Your threads have sunk to the level of stupidity that have typically been the private domain of Angel.

You two are peas in a pod.


:roll:

:lol:

 

[Logician Man]

Another let's hate atheists thread. * sigh *

 

[stevecanuck]

Only AINOs don't need religion. That's because they don't believe there is no God.

Thank Gawd we have you to tell people what they believe.

 

[stevecanuck]

In need of a religion atheists?

Nope.

 

[Logician Man]

And your nasty personal posts continue at their same level. "Cngrats," however, just doesn't seen the right word in your case.

Transhumanism is an atheist religion. They are materialists who believe science will figure out how to cure death, and computers will become more intelligent that humans.

Google has invested billions in cure for death research. Transhumanism could be the religion of the progressive elites who are working on forming a global government. Run by them, of course. The rest of us are too stupid to understand any of it.

There are very few obstacles remaining before transhumanism succeeds in its mission to free rich humans from death, and to create super-intelligent computers:

1. Science still doesn't know what life is.
2. Science still doesn't know how the brain works.
3. Science still doesn't understand most DNA.
4. Science is no closer to curing cancer than it was decades ago.
5. The causes of most age-related diseases are still unknown.

Well, um, there are some more obstacles, but those are the main ones. Science will overcome those obstacles any day (year, decade, century) now. Just hold your breath. Keep believin' brother, amen.

Anti-Atheism is a religion... it is hatred as well.

1. Science absolutely knows what life is... what a retarded statement...
2. Yes it does... not 100% but nothing is 100%
3. Yes it does... another idiotic statement...
4. Yes it is... :lol: the more that science can cross off means the less that they have to research and LOGICALLY, that is closer.
5. Debatable...

What a stupid post... keep 'em coming!!

"Transhumanism" is an olla podrida of popular myths, urban legends, scientism and pseudo-ethics. It is held chiefly by persons unacquainted with the humanities and incapable of broad critical thought.

Transhumanism is about a stupid a concept as I have ever heard....

Science knows it doesn't know everything. If it did, it would stop.

Transmetropolitan is an excellent graphic novel/comic series based around a lot of trans-humanist ideas.

Each issue generally explorers some new concept such as reanimating people who were frozen in the past, simulated environments from history, actual mental transference to a nanomachine body (or an non-human animal body, real or imagined,) freedom from all disease, ubiquity of drugs (addiction is no longer a problem, because there's a cure for everything,) extreme media evolution, matter compilers, extreme corruption, etc.

The main character is functionally Hunter S. Thompson living in the future, so fans of his might enjoy it, also. It's screamingly funny at times and often insightful.

Personally, I think we seriously over-rate ourselves these days. We're about three steps out the cave, thinking we're enlightened.

dont thick wanting to augment the human body counts as a religion and at best it seems you can only delay death until the owner approaches heat deht and you run out of power

but repairing the damage from gin and blending the body with technology and some genetic engineering dosent seem to out their


dont know how any of that means you want to form an exclusive global government

i suppose people who are into that could try to make a religion and a non representative global government

 

[blarg]

Age is not a disease!

And the diseases the are supposedly inevitable with age are mostly diseases of industrial societies, caused at least partly by artificial food and lack of exercise.

ya its the damage you get with age that sem to be the problem if you can repair that then age is just fine

It is getting to be very popular in certain subcultures. Silicon valley for example.

not sure how possible or well grounded it can be but it seems neet

Atheists don't need religions.

Atheism IS a religion.
They can't help but try and make new converts on any and all situations.
Someone needs to tell them they can still be an atheist without also being a prick about it, and trying to shove their beliefs down everyone's throat, and attacking other people's beliefs.

George Carlin's first commandment is....Keep thy religion to thyself.
Atheists....stop shoving your religion on the rest of us, OK?
Yet a week does not go by when some atheist makes another " I hate your beliefs " thread.
Shut up...OK?

The Kettles were great old film fare.
Don't tell me you've abandoned your emoji techniques! Your fans will be terribly disappointed.
Still, your post puts me in mind of the old Shavian bon mot: "Nit....meet Wit."

Atheism is not a religion. As for the rest of your post, irony meters explode.

Those famous irony meters of yours never explode in response to the unwitting nonsense of your posts. Why's that, do you think? Do you think?

Transhumanism describes the state of having been born another type of primate, but identifying as human. Much electrolysis is generally involved during reassignment surgery.

Most cancer treatments try to extend life for a year or two, while making patients very sick. That is not a cure. They don't even try to restore health.

Most cancer cannot be cured, except childhood leukemia for example.

Early localized cancer is often cured by surgery. But most of the time, those cancers would have remained local and controlled by the immune system.

Of course a company that sells cancer treatments will make it look wonderful.

You have no clue at all. Your entire approach to the world seems to be to be determined to spread as many lies as possible.

About 60% of patients diagnosed with cancer in 1998 survived for at least one year, compared to 70% of patients diagnosed in 2013. 2013 is as far as this year’s figures cover.

Between 1998 and 2009 the proportion of patients surviving five years or more went from 42% to almost 50%.
