    If people can’t biosculpt their bodies to look like literally anything they want and still have to work why are we even having a singularity?

      I know we’ve had plenty of struggle sessions about subjective experience/consciousness/qualia before, and I saw clumsy reddit-logo versions of the same on the linked thread, but I’d like to set those aside this one time and instead heckle the fact that so many of those singularity cultists want to be immortal nanobot swarms or unstoppable war machines or whatever but are utterly terrified of trans people that currently exist. what-the-hell

          That’s the neat part, they don’t. think-mark

          It truly is baffling to me just how creatively stagnant the thought leaders are of the so-called “Singularity” ideology. Ever see my-hero 's lazily compiled pictures of cars rolling down the highway, except on Mars?

          They want pre-war Fallout political norms and aesthetics for all eternity. no-mouth-must-scream
