If it's a natural product I strive for the most organic source available.

Literally it's deranged people putting voltage into their heads.

and we think identity politics is bad now

There's a 1989 Japanese horror film called Tetsuo that ties in with this description. It's about a chap who starts grafting pieces of metal onto his body. Freaky fucked-up stuff.

I know it well! Great movie.

It's a bit vague if you ask me because it means *everything* that comes after us: AI, cyborgs, augmented humans and god knows what else. I prefer "trans-humanism" which implies people transcending the human body.

Post Humanism means information tech based evolution whereas transhumanism means the "everything"

If an individual has a cranial implant to reduce epileptic fits, have they entered a Post Humanist phase?

Transcending the human body?
I believe that this is called Death.

version 1 is a little more humble than that, but hell if you're into magnets

*When* is post humanism?

It might be easier to say its coming than it's here. If you work as an uber driver or a stock trader you are already taking orders from an a.i. entity much smarter than you.

One word - Skynet.

this

Post humanism hahah... maybe parasitism? As a species we are already doing it.
Btw. Im down only for analogue transhumanism in any case.

but brain-mix tapes are going to be a pain this way

what is analogue transhumanism?

In essence it is man being puppeted by Satan into trying to eradicate God. To replace God with a counterfeit. It is the attempt at justifying what was done in the Garden of Eden and fulfilling Satans promise that 'ye will be as Gods'.

I would argue we are already in a post-humanist world, and have been for some time, with the evolution of media, pointedly the internet, on group mentality, opinion and aligning of thought. All through intense, persistent and unrelenting social pressure, various political propagandas and essentially, marketing.

The coagulation of collective conscious intentions via the internet, dispersing opinion, values and philosophies, dispenses of the opinion forming skills of those exposed to it more and more as generations turn over. This has happened in stages since the introduction of the web and I believe can be prevalently seen in the west. In particular, in political states which lean more towards capitalism, as this effectively 'supercharges' the evolution of these mass influences.

We as humans are physically not really evolving any more, Darwinism isn't exactly hitting the spot for us, take a walk through any small town centre and I'm sure you'll find it hard to disagree (We do still hold the record as the best long distance land animal though if I'm not mistaken). We do however evolve behaviourally at an astronomical scale when compared to other species.

Whether the invocation of an effective 'hive mind' on our selves causes us to enter a state of 'post' humanism is open to debate of course, but i think on the Richter scale of change it scores rather high.

Much like me, I am also very high.

That's why Amazon is selling it

And it's marketed in very sophisticated ways through social media. This article explains how it works.

fear is a service and we all subscribe

well it's a fucking "sale event" now

Not just America. fear is major tool they use world wide for control. Always been used.

yes its the foundation of the oldest orgainsations around

Not just US

And it's shipped all over the world.

I agree. There is individual fear, and collective fear. Individuals in America have stressful lives and poor parenting for the majority. Individual fears that hold people back include fear of death, fear of failure, fear of inadequacy (not being good enough). Mass fear includes fear of authority, fear of pandemics, fear of being taken over as a country. Fear can be dealt with by acknowledging and facing the fear with nonresistance. Still, fears are often not recognized because they are not on a conscious level. I do believe that meditation, psychedelic therapy, and transpersonal therapy can uncover subconscious fears and be released from their power.

True all to this but how do you think this is different from country to country.

State-sponsered fear is not unique to the US. Capitalism and communism both generate fear, but in the US, where capitalism has run amok, it is more subtle. US citizens tend to believe that they live in a democracy, yet there has been no progress in the 1 percenters sharing resources with the middle class and poor. Individuals have less rights to express their views because the powers at be that transcend political parties control the agenda of the media and the government. Through TV and other newspapers, citizens are programmed to live their lives in a controlled state of mind. The most pertinent of issues do not make the headlines. I could elaborate more, but just note that societal fear is a response to the denigration of individual rights, where the average citizen thinks that nothing they do or say will be acknowledged or change anything.

The Mings did it a lot more peacefully right before that

I was shocked how the world originally laughed at European products, they really were bumpkins.

This is a reminder of what a primitive concept mercantilism is.

Its worth noting that they were NOT using the processes usually associated with tdcs and so it not something that can be replicated at home.

Face it: they are too fat to fuck

youre never too fat to fuck darlin

Can't say I see a lot of downside with this one.

the problem i see is that it's a trust based system and you are trusting people selling an afterlife. that doesn't bring us much further than religious belief in life after death.

a quasi religious custodian would be optimal

I love this opening:

You’re on an airplane when you hear a loud sound and things start violently shaking. A minute later, the captain comes on the speaker and says:

There’s been an explosion in the engine, and the plane is going to crash in 15 minutes. There’s no chance of survival. There is a potential way out—the plane happens to be transferring a shipment of parachutes, and anyone who would like to use one to escape the plane may do so. But I must warn you—the parachutes are experimental and completely untested, with no guarantee to work. We also have no idea what the terrain will be like down below. Please line up in the aisle if you’d like a parachute, and the flight attendants will give you one, show you how to use it and usher you to the emergency exit where you can jump. Those who choose not to take that option, please remain in your seat—this will be over soon, and you will feel no pain.

What would you do?

I wonder if you’re allowed to board a commercial plane wearing a parachute. ‘The parachute and a mask’

I’m just covering all angles. ;)

Here's a parachute that definitely doesn't work. They cost you all the money you intended to pass on, then will probably go on to cost your offspring.

We'll try our best come up with a method to make it work before you hit the ground.

Form an orderly queue.

if it's a future without the small minded ill take any chance they give me

No doubt you’re right Doc.
All of histories great and revolutionary thinkers faced with the moment of ultimate transcendence would choose the same: hiding in a freezer clinging desperately to their privilege.

I’d rather see what’s next than be consigned to eternity on a planetary corpse with the people who killed it.

I'm going into space when I die :)

Seems you're off to a great start :)

relax youre around for several more series

No way, decaying in the ground is what the elders tell us!

Howd that one work out for ya elders?

50/50

what does hate always bring? war. the only question is the battlefield.

Trump War Games 1 is free to all Trump Premium Subscribers.

Bankruptcy if history is any precedent

Well, bankruptcy is how the Federal Reserve, a private bank, gained control over the US government in the first place.

Lots of companies go bankrupt its just part of the game

4 fucking times? That's not playing the game that's playing everyone you can - which is exactly what he's doing by running for President.

Trump University was another fuck you to anyone that believes in him.

Where do the apologists way in on this one?

It shouldn't be a game! It should be a second chance. When it becomes a game, it's time to change the laws.

Fascism according to the New Yorker

He'll just be a puppet for some real money interests, like all US presidents of the last 20 odd years. 2 party system is laughable.

It goes back much farther than 20 years... at least 100, or more.

The 2 party system is the biggest joke of all. There is a glimmer of hope...proportional representation. It is not widely used in the US, but is more common in Europe, and other countries. That's why you may see news about a country having problems forming a workable government after an election, because the parties are forced to work with whomever the people elect. As opposed to our 2 party system where we are forced to choose between the 'lesser of two evils'!

This group has been working to promote it in the US, and give good examples, and information.

It seems like proportional representation would give people a voice. Otherwise outrage is the only way to garner attention.

He stated he wants a strong elite Military so if the start goose stepping I'm going to have to run like and hell out a here

You are not alone, a *sitting supreme court justice* said the same thing!

Alien invasion

so there's no search page?

hoping to get access to that needs page sometime...

clearly the kid is controlling our universe with that thing and must be stopped

they all stink to be frank, this one is the best of the worst

Red Onion is new and better IMHO

the new one i think called red onion is good

im sorry youre right i really dont have reason to doubt you personally i think nootropics is a load of bullshit though like the next wave in vitamin marketing.

and how many would be killed if it was open slather to push anything?

"open slather" are you an aussie?

But I don’t think this is even the “liberties” issue here. Its simply a fact that most people want collectivized medicine, usually from the government and if not from an insurance company. The “free” market for medicine, with people making their own decisions gets you right back to socialized medicine because that's where freedom leads us.
