    I love it! The idea that human evolution has no foreseeable limit.

    There are so many pessimists who believe we can only make it so far, but with my own air of pessimism, I'll say no sir!

    There are so many pieces of the puzzle, and we're collecting and organizing
    them at an exponential rate. Technology and Information are becoming a foundation for our lives to grow and prosper as quickly as possible. Our creative ambition as humans has lead us into Space and has given us the key to discovering the code to human physical and mental structure. and like I said, we are discovering more and more at an exponential rate.

    If the tools are given to us, would you undertake a physical change or perhaps replace your organic structure for something more fluid, solid and boundless?

    Would you take the chance to become more than human to live a longer, almost ageless life? or are you fundamentally rooted in your belief that we are as we should be and that humans won't put much stock into a instant physical evolution of our own will?

    I'm already a machine, an organic one.

    But I guess I could go for some titanium knockers if that's what you're talking about.

    You're obviously not aware we are the same person.

    This means through the transitive property that Karl Marx is also Lady Gaga. My world is turned upside down.

    My Niggaz!!!

    Karl Marx has the wrong approach, though. Goddamn perfectionist.

    Though the competition created between Capitalism and Communism has been a catalyst for some fantastic breakthroughs in modern technology.

    by despising each other... we can come together!

    game theory says evolution has a limit.

    game theory is right (research it, it makes sense)

    but, if we take evolution into hand, and are able to use evolution as a tool for all of humanity, and all of the world, instead of each of our best interests.

    we will overcome the evolutionary apocalypse.

    I'll look into it.

    and don't get me wrong. I think we have a limit. I just don't believe we are limited to the current physical manifestation of ourselves. who knows what could be lurking out there in the expanses of the universe, ready to rock our world with death rays of justice.

    Evolution has a limit, sure, but who's to say what that limit is? We're human, Dave. We can, like, do anything. It's just a matter of killing off all the bible beaters who oppose stem cell research and want to save all the starving children in Africa. Fuckers.

    look into what game theory is.

    You'll see you've misread my post.

    P.s. I'm a fan of mechanical transhumanism.
