@8584zender that sounds like a coherent thought 8584. May i add that to get off the the monkey's rock and prosper as armed hunter-gathers. Develop language and law and order. We must have agreed to an ever growing list of tabos and restrictions. Neighbour bands would have their own laws, and it would seem natural to me for everyone to agree that the law was inviolate with sanctions and that the law of all was god given by common consent.
gods are created to 'explain' the mystery of being. We exist through the generation of natural processes & suspect a hidden mental dimension. This could be bc the universe is only ever experienced by minds but certainly it is also about man's desire to make chronos out of chaos. To justify his own beliefs over those of his neighbor (tribalism) and then there is the mystical aspect (o that more could be thus instead of what we have; utter ignorance) which is a more psycho-exploratory approach.
@thealkimista2012 Evolution is a proven fact. The mechanism of evolution is still a theory. Evolution has nothing to do with the origin of life or the universe. You're not even aware of the issue you claim to argue over it seems here. Trying to find the truth using evidence is not arrogant, and you're just trying to conflate things here to seem differently.
@thealkimista2012 Research all before you reply to me. Evolution is as a fact and theory, all a theory means is an accumaltion of facts. Creationism is not a proven fact it requires the faith (belief not based on truth) that it happened. It is modern science and requires no faith only proof. Because it's natural not supernatural. We never rule it out entirely that would be unscientific. When you die your brain shuts off.
@thealkimista2012 Homo habilis 2.5 million years old. Yes if you don't research it first I would call you arrgoant and full of shit. Look, you cannot deny these as facts any longer. Synthetic cells, Homo habilis, and Chrome 2 confirm all of this. The creationism debate is over, you may only incorporate it into your faith saying your god designed that to happen. Please make more valid arguments
@thealkimista2012 What is death matter? Anti matter? Yes we can create anti-matter? Or are you stating how how synthetic cells were created? I have a paper on this. Or how amino acids building blocks for cells are created in vacuums from interstellar ice analogs, this has been observed and I can give you a thesis paper on this as well. There are also several evolutionary standards of homos that evolved in between those years. I can give you proof of this too. What exactly are you talking about??
@thealkimista2012 Oh and if you look it up, scientific theories are a collection of facts and evidence. This I promise you from the bottom of my heart is true. Scientists only believe in things that can be seen in proven in the here and now. Anything else is not science
@landonggg So anything else is not science? creasionism is not
a religion is science n there are creation scientists with outstanding credentials
who were evolutionist Dr T. John Rendle-Short,Charlie Lieberts - (Chemist) Dr. Gary Parker (Biologist) n the list goes on,so how can you say that anything else is
not science?this men were evolutionists first,why you or Dawkins teach
evolution as an absolute truth?WHO OF YOU DIED TO TELL US THAT
@thealkimista2012 Simply listen to the way you derive your statements and the way me or Hawkins state ours. That alone would sway people to believe me over you. That being aside I've said it once I'll say it again. Evolution is an observable fact. I can provide 200,000 published scientific journals on biological evolution. You cannot provide one on creationism. And creationism is any religion.
@thealkimista2012 Go to pubmed and type in biological evolution. 200,000 published facts on evolution. All observed in real time. Show me the scientific published journals on creationism that aren't just philosophy and are observed in real time and I'll say you've one the creationism debate and that Darwin was wrong. No ad populum aloud it must be accepted in the community. I don't need to see god, just evidence that suggests him.
@thealkimista2012 And I find it quite funny that a creationist is on a Richard Dawkins video called The Arrogance of Religious Persons arguing with me about god. You apperently don't follow any of his works and just came here to argue illogical fallacies with atheists because deep down you truly must question your own beliefs. Or are you really just that arrogant?
@thealkimista2012 any empirical proof that isn't hearsay, and any empirical evidence than can be reproduced and peer reviewed. Have you ever seen the scrutiny we put our stuff through when stuff is published? every time a discovery is published half the scientific community is doing test to disprove it; not because they don't believe or trust, but because science can't rest on answers; we have to keep on-that is our problem with religion it tries to make people rest on answers of "god did that".
Evolution is a fact. It's observable and though we dont know the whole history of it, it's practically impossible for us not to be related to chimpanzees due to genetic evidence.
The older you are doesnt mean the more you know about the universe or anything.
Ive heard Dawkins himself say that there could be some kind of creator or creators, but evolution would still be a fact and theres no evidence for the supernatural claims of any religion.
@delawarecop Yeah? Prove it. Who says it was DNA? It was more likely a replicating chemical/s much simpler than DNA. DNA is really "digital" & very advanced & complex in comparison to what chemical arrangements made up the first living cells.This was 4 billion years ago though. Difficult to find microscopic "life" in microscopic form from that far back. Oh, Darwin slept with a cousin most likely out of uncontrolled urges like LOVE or being HORNY. Irrational, just like your religious belief. : )
There is an evolutionary advantage to our species having a pecking order, to defer to a leader and thus stay cohesive. That leader can be military, or religious. This was helpful in the stone age, and even the bronze age. Unfortunately, this sort of mindless deference has become dangerous to our survival now that we have the ability to destroy our species.
@tnekkc im sure this is hard to believe, but according to recent studies the co2 levels are above the worst case scenario predicted by scientists. on the other hand you might not even believe in that chemical formula.
@tnekkc The difference my stupid friend, is that global warming and all of those things you just mentioned are not religions. As for global warming, evidence would suggest that the net temperature of the Earth is indeed rising. We don't give a damn whether you, 'believe' it or not, the evidence is clear.
@tnekkc I have no religion you fool, I am an atheist! You claim to follow science, and yet you ignore the mammoth amounts of evidence which point to global warming. Your logic is also flawed, as a conspiracy would only be a viable option if someone had something to gain. There is nothing to gain from lying about Global warming, so your argument is invalid.
First of all, global warming is not a myth, the CO2 levels in our atmosphere have skyrocketed since the industrial revolution in the mid 19th century and that is not a myth.
Secondly it's embarrassing to see the complete generalization of an entire group of Americans. How about this; All Conservatives are ignorant white supremacists, who hate minorities, kill innocent civilians in 3rd world countries, and hate all people who aren't straight and Christian.
JesusSavesAtCitibank????? Is that where he has been hiding? At a bank? Jesus the banker giving out holy loans? Tell me why you do not believe in other religions, and that will be my answer as to why I do not believe in yours.
i have come up with a scientific theory but need some help to solve it.....i have posted it on you-tube site "robert mueller (clip)"....just read my comments below the video.
@firstplacechickenegg He is simply saying that he does not believe in a god. Just because you believe in something, it doesn't mean that its real. Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, talking bears, god.
@atheus15 what? richard dawkinders biologist says he does not believe in god but it MIGHT eggsist. I am a scientist of biology who knows not much about philosiphy I know the facts but I might not. Trust yourself not what the experts say. Who is santa clause who worships him? You know the easter bunny is just some guy in a suit. Werewolfs riding bicycles are real man
@tnekkc they don't force global warming on anyone, it comes all by itself. and by the way, the muslims conquered constantinople and crushed the byzantine empire.
@tnekkc you are an idiot, i am canadian and have travelled in the north many times over the past 30 years. trust me there is global warming it is a fact 98% of scientists say the same
western science was birthed by the Judeo-Christian belief that God was a rational lawmaker, as opposed to a the moody superstitious pagan dieties that were believed to effect mans world in uncivilized times.Monastic Priests called ''Natural Philosophers'' set out to discover these laws that God put in place to govern His creation,& were the forerunners of scientists.The term & disclipine of science & its heritage has been ''stolen'' by PC athiests.
@MegaFloyd100 So you've just provided a vivid example of human evolution. Nothing was "stolen" by atheists. Most of them evolved into one. Their capacity to expand their intellect grew, and there is no sense of debt to a Judeo-Christian God for this.
@jjb1310 definition games are a good way to win a bad argument.Following your brand new ''all-purpose'' definition of ''evolution'',could we also say that when people convert to christianity they are evolving?or vote republican?or get a degree?or give up macdonalds for sushi? or swap the ford for a Lexus? or grow taller or fatter?
@MegaFloyd100 "could we also say that when people convert to christianity they are evolving?" No. The Ancient Greeks were far more influential in the development of the sciences and philosophy - in fact all of Western thought - than the mystic desert dwellers from which Christianity emerged. The Bronze Age Chinese were more culturally and technologically advanced than them. Atheists are more evolved than the faithful because they trust in evidence, not wishful thinking.
He has spent much of his life attacking religion (in particular Christianity). Is there a world famous Christian out there who has done the same but attacked atheism? NO! We should all just respect the beliefs of one another and act like the kind people we should be. (Unlike Mr Dawkins here).
@cssius • Christianity is not stuck in a 15th century time warp .A few things have happened since then. Luther began a revolution in which many Protestants rebelled & died to champion individual rights & the questioning of authority, separate Church from State, Art, and Literature etc! Protestant Christians fought & died to pass the ''TOLERATION ACT'' in the 17th century, so you tubers are free to spend their life trying to defend or destroy Christianity!
@Hughesey1297 There may not be any one famous Christian in the modern world who is attacking atheism, but religion in general (particularly Christianity) has spent millennia imposing their beliefs on the world, to the point of persecuting and even killing those who refused to share their beliefs. Religious figures do not need to attack atheism as they have the overwhelming world majority and so, in general, do not have any oppression to fight against.
@disastergirl888 Christianity is not stuck in a 15th century Catholic church time warp .A few things have happened since then. Luther began a revolution in which many Protestants rebelled & died to champion individual rights & the questioning of authority, separate Church from State, Art, and Literature etc! Protestant Christians fought & died to pass the ''TOLERATION ACT'' in the 17th century, so you tubers are free to spend their life trying to defend or destroy Christianity!
@MegaFloyd100 I don't really see why you're trying to suggest that all suppression of free speech and thought came from Catholicism when Protestantism has been equally guilty. What about the Puritans? When a Puritan government was established in the UK after the civil war, people's freedoms were greatly reduced. And anyway, it doesn't particularly matter what particular views or actions one denomination takes, the point is that Christianity as a whole has, as a part of its central dogma, the..
@disastergirl888 ..command to go out and convert people, leading to Christians forcing their views on other people, often using far worse than a few blunt comments. And while attempts at conversion usually don't take place at gunpoint any more, many Christians are still obnoxiously strident in their views and seek to impose their religion's morality on nations' policies. Plus, I really don't think some 400 year old US-based act actually has any impact on my ability to express my views .
@Hughesey1297 Atheists are just as demographically and socially diverse as the population at large. Dawkins speaks for himself, not for all atheists. Nevertheless, he doesn't owe it to religious people to be nice, particularly if they believe he's going to be spending an eternity in hell.
@autoteck1 He didn't deny god, he said he is agnostic about god in the same way he is agnostic about fairies and unicorns. God is a man made myth just like fairies and unicorns, a parallell.
@autoteck1 he doesnt think he can DENY god, he doesnt believe in god, cus god is a stupid cunt fuck douchebag who im gonna stab in his dirty jew face. god doesnt exist stupid cunt.
@braindamagedhorse123 yeah my boyfriend broke up with me, im a proud homosexual and me and my boyfriend used to jizz in a bible after our premarital sex. i dont think dawkins is going to have fun in hell, but i think he will have fun in narnia. and then he will visit hogwarts on his fantastical trip to imaginary places.
@braindamagedhorse123 Aha! ANOTHER arrogant 'Christian'. Whatever happened to the 'Judge not that you not be judged' part of Christianity? Goddamn but I can't stand the snide, holier-than-thou stance of 'Christians'. You absolutely make me sick. By the way, what happened to the last part of your username? It definitely must have originally read ';braindamagedhorseass',
@Runningjoels cus god is a stupid cunt fuck douchebag who im gonna stab in his dirty jew face ???????????? How are you going to do that if he dosen't exist ?? You are an IDIOT!
@autoteck1 no, he does exist, that was my mistake. and im going to jizz in his face after my homosexual exboyfriend jerks off my penis, then i will cum on the face of yahweh and give him a dirty sanchez. oh and im gonna do this on sunday, then im gonna jizz on the body of christ cus that shit is kinda bland, gotta add my own condiments. then im gonna take a shit and wipe my ass on the free bible i got off the internet. im only on deuteronomy, thank god its sucha long book
@Hughesey1297 Yea because use of swear words is an acurate indication of intelligence. Oh yeah and one individual of a group is enough to base a generlization for that entire population, you are really making sense here. Btw atheism is greatly over represented in scientists, who are probably the smartest sample that exists. Make sure you're not using retarded logic before trying to make someone look stupid. Oh wait nvm, logical fallacies are what religious folk are best at. ;)
@KyaniDave I am not the one with the video on here creating the contraversy, i am mearly commenting on the mans arrogance. to deny that there is or might be a God
is arrogant, We will all face death in our own way, I will face it in the comfort of knowing I didn't deny God. On the other hand those that do denie his or her existance will face death with that uncertanty and the fear of having Denied God and having to face eternal damnation
@autoteck1 The word "deny" implies that you are disregarding an evidence and there is no evidence for the existence of god, therefore no believing in God is not denying anything. As for what there "might" be, sure, with loose criteria it is possible though very unlikely that there is a god. But if there is one, it really doesn't tell us anything about it's attributes. For example, you could say it's a possibility that there is a god who punishes everyone except naturalists after they die.
A set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs. This is the definition from the dictionary of what religion is. He has a religious belief system it governs how he thinks about things.
I believe that the universe and cosmos exists deep within the confines of Oprah Winfrey's rectum. How do you know that it doesn't? We may be microscopic matter living within the rectal orifice of another organism much larger than the cosmos we assume exists. The possibility exists??!?
@YouWillSaluteJESUS Um no... atheist's are not lost nor angry. We simply do not believe in God because theist's have not met their burden of proof for evidence for God.
And wow, resorting to the same tired threats. Typical Christian.
@YouWillSaluteJESUS And who are you to say such things. I think arrogant fools like you need to think twice. Any moron who thinks a person deserves to be tortured for an eternity is a SICK FUCK.
@YouWillSaluteJESUS Naw, you're trolled, coz you actually didn't upset me. I just give that response to all Christians. Anyhow, you act like all the rest, even as a troll, it's hard to tell when people are literally that stupid.
@YouWillSaluteJESUS this is one of the reasons I became Atheist, because people like you are here to "represent" a religion that should be caring and loving to people, and yet force people to believe, and else threaten with eternal punishment, that is not love and care for your fellow human, I myself haven't read the bible, I'm on a Christian school, some of my teachers are also Christian, and my economics teacher spread the "word of Jesus" alot nicer than you do
@Canadianloyalist123 That's precisely what is going on, peons are mating with peons so that there will always be a working class, that's too naive to look any further than their jobs and stuff.
idiot messed up at 6:03 and 6:20 or is he really stupid enough to think the virgin marry was born of a virgin and not Jesus was born of the virgin marry
@kodiakbear222 "idiot messed up at 6:03 and 6:20 or is he really stupid enough to think the virgin marry was born of a virgin and not Jesus was born of the virgin marry"
its spelled mary. and usually if you respect the person you capitalize the name. seeing how youre speaking from a religious point of view it seems very incompetent to express your opinion in the fashion that you did. congrats. ignorance is bliss
Lol. Virgin Mary was born of a virgin?! Dawkins should have stayed in his biology lab, presumably his area of expertise, instead of addressing himself to the profound issues of the existence of God. First get your facts straight, Richard.
@jyakkudesu I knew listening to him make that simple error would get a reaction such as yours. He obviously doesn't care to know every fact of the bible because as he said, he chooses not to waste his time with something that doesn't have a shred of evidence. If more people would realize the delusion they are living and escape it the world would be better for it.
@ComputerGod91 What delusion? In his rant, Dawkins has not established anything concrete. He merely states his opinions regarding some strawman-god of his own construction. But that's ok with me because I believe in tolerance of beliefs. But why use the authority of science to support own misguided dogmas?
@ComputerGod91 Since you believe you are not in a privileged position in this universe, you should not insist that I share that belief. Insisting on it would be delusional.
Only about 80% actually in the US. The "god" gene? Come on! It should be called a parasite! You're not born w "god" in u you're born, parents brainwash u into believing such stupid things and that's that. I CANNOT wait till like 50% of Americans are Atheist! I hope in my lifetime I will get to see that. My kids are raised w no gods whatsoever but are taught being a good person and knowing the rights frm the wrongs and that's it. U don't need a religion to be a good person!!!!!!
@Achaeosic I was a catholic for the first 20 years of my life. I am a-religous but still believe in the soul and a higher being. I am in university for mechanical engineering (nano technology wing). I believe some day humanity itself will be gods.No doubt immortality will be achievable through nanotechnology(part of the reason why chose the field)humanity will colonize the universe(maybe even design its own universe ) and humanity will create life for study.and what is that you said?
@Achaeosic You can call me a trans-humanist ,yes. I am wish to (hopefully) achieve immortality through means of nano-robotics. Inject nanobots into the human body and they repair all damaged tissue,cells,etc.That can eliminate things such as cancer,brain damage,heart damage,any body defect whatsoever. Then when that can be done. You can use the nanobots to trigger parts of the brain to actually make it stronger and faster. In the same way you can overclock a computer.
@Achaeosic take out aging for at least 100 years and enough would have been to allow for us instant healing.By leaving in the nanobots a person can be healed instantly in most cases. Its like Stephen hawking said.
"I do believe that in this century humanity will evolve itself than natural evolution did in one million.The aging process will be reversed,humanity will be able to survive extremely high and low temperatures,to breath dangerous atmospheres,rediation repellent skin "CONTINUE
and maybe even to survive outer space". I wish to be one of the early nanobot pioneers.And If I live long enough I wish to upload my brain onto a computer. Humanity is programmed to overcome any situation. I believe that every problem we wish to overcome we will overcome. What we want invented will be invented. We are still in the early ages of humanity.One day we will be a mechanist god race.We will laugh at God's organic life and look at ours with vast superiority
It looks like we will divide into 2 separate types: Those who become machine & those who remain biological although augmented... cyborgs I suppose. I don't wish to download because I believe that self-preservation means I must preserve this brain. Downloading is just a copy to me just as matter-energy tranportation would be. But I wish you the best of luck achieving that goal. Perhaps your God Race will help people like me achieve our goals with your superior intellect?
@Achaeosic While I am gifted ,it is my hope that I would be able to help people achieve immortality through years of study. For once we have the first self replicating nanobot built,immortality would possibly be only a few months away.
Then they could use them to tweek our genetic code to add programming upgrades. That way once it is done then we do not rely on the technology forever to maintain our upgrades, our normal genetic mechanisms would take care of it. Any thoughts on this?
Well be sure and hook me up. Don't give it to everyone though. Some people just need to die.
Selfreplicating Nanobots are a scary thing though making the human host a Grey-blooded Cyborg forever or until he gets subjected to an incredibly powerful magnet. And can there ever be enough safeguards against Grey-Goo runaway? I am really hoping that they keep them Non-self-replicating and requiring being within a special room to even remain operable.
@Achaeosic grey goo scenario is illogical. They will each have a set limit. Unlike in popular belief they would not go to far it would be next to impossible. Scientifically speaking you need not worry.
@Achaeosic There would obviously be a fail safe if that happens.But that would not happen because there would be no errors. Do not worry. If they create a micro robot capable of curing cancer and achieving immortality they would think of every possibility of a grey goo scenario.
@Achaeosic Do not worry about wealth.Capitalism will eventually kill itself.And it will be replaced by true democratic socialism .We will see humanity not only achieve purity of form but also purity of essence. People will be like bees who all work together toward a common goal. Back thousands of years ago we were all independent barbarian hordes raping and pillaging.Now we are much more civilized now imagine that change times a hundred.That change will happen eventually.
@Achaeosic Socialism only works when all of the world and people are devoted to it which is why it wont happen any time soon maybe not even in this millennium. Everyone agrees that the best government is a philosopher king.A monarchy contrary to popular belief caused more good than any democratic government. Why?because monarchs owe nothing to nobody or anything. They just try to help the people. That is why Britannia went down when they gave the King less power.
Yes, a loving King is connected to the people, their prosperity coming directly from him & his ancestors therefore a reflection of himself. He didnt pursue power it was thrust upon him. Besides, if you piss off too many people, they cant get rid of you by election so yeah it could get ugly. I only hope that my people & I survive the coming collapse so the Empire can rise restoring sensible Monarchy to some corner of this world, preserving human knowledge & Liberty forever.
I believe very strongly that Eugenics should be used. Right now our social programs have a negative eugenic effect which will contribute to the collapse of many societies. I believe the Nobility should be mandatorily subjected to solid eugenics forever. The general population should be free to choose but encouraged to voluntarily participate in Eugenics programs.
@Achaeosic We actually agree on alot. Although I believe that there should be mating castes. Those who are the most intelligent,the strongest,and the healthiest shuld be on the top,and the rest be free range. Then restrictions should tighten over the course of years and reach the point were we only have the strongest,healthiest people alive.BTW I was kidding about the graduate in university.Although I study university textbooks and hope to go into nanotechnology.
It seems we agree very closely. Maybe just using different words for the same things, roughly. I definitely want to implement a Eugenics program which is required for anyone who is offered to join the Nobility or High Caste. We want each generation to be better based on very intensive genetic analysis. This is our Gene pool of Admistrators, Intellectuals, Elite Warriors, most disease-resistent, keepers of the great secrets, explorers, Immortals, our greatest survivors.
I would love to meet this guy and break bread with him, and just listen and talk. Seen here, Dawkins is amazingly transparent and you can tell from his dialogue he's thought about the subject of religion and Christ for more than just a few minutes. Tell Peter to put the sword away while He adjusts the ear.

absolute truth to students,I'm a creasionist n i dont have a religion
at the moment,i can provide evidence but you wont believe
because the only proof you will acept would be if you see God
but no man can see God,n what would i get if you believe?what
do you give God if you believe in him?
provide me please with those 200,000 published scientific journals
but only if they created life if not they are only THEORIES=ESPECULATIONS

@thealkimista2012 Go to pubmed and type in biological evolution. 200,000 published facts on evolution. All observed in real time. Show me the scientific published journals on creationism that aren't just philosophy and are observed in real time and I'll say you've one the creationism debate and that Darwin was wrong. No ad populum aloud it must be accepted in the community. I don't need to see god, just evidence that suggests him.

@thealkimista2012 And I find it quite funny that a creationist is on a Richard Dawkins video called The Arrogance of Religious Persons arguing with me about god. You apperently don't follow any of his works and just came here to argue illogical fallacies with atheists because deep down you truly must question your own beliefs. Or are you really just that arrogant?

@thealkimista2012 any empirical proof that isn't hearsay, and any empirical evidence than can be reproduced and peer reviewed. Have you ever seen the scrutiny we put our stuff through when stuff is published? every time a discovery is published half the scientific community is doing test to disprove it; not because they don't believe or trust, but because science can't rest on answers; we have to keep on-that is our problem with religion it tries to make people rest on answers of "god did that".

@thealkimista2012 No I wouldnt.
Evolution is a fact. It's observable and though we dont know the whole history of it, it's practically impossible for us not to be related to chimpanzees due to genetic evidence.
The older you are doesnt mean the more you know about the universe or anything.
Ive heard Dawkins himself say that there could be some kind of creator or creators, but evolution would still be a fact and theres no evidence for the supernatural claims of any religion.

@MegaFloyd100 "could we also say that when people convert to christianity they are evolving?" No. The Ancient Greeks were far more influential in the development of the sciences and philosophy - in fact all of Western thought - than the mystic desert dwellers from which Christianity emerged. The Bronze Age Chinese were more culturally and technologically advanced than them. Atheists are more evolved than the faithful because they trust in evidence, not wishful thinking.

@autoteck1 The word "deny" implies that you are disregarding an evidence and there is no evidence for the existence of god, therefore no believing in God is not denying anything. As for what there "might" be, sure, with loose criteria it is possible though very unlikely that there is a god. But if there is one, it really doesn't tell us anything about it's attributes. For example, you could say it's a possibility that there is a god who punishes everyone except naturalists after they die.

I agree. Unfortunately most of humanity are not intelligent enough to
understand what true religious freedom is. It is a goal of the Achaeosic

thrust a wedge between men. Where men have learned to naturally
set aside differences in faith for the sake of maintaining the harmony.
In time I expect all faith will fade away.

@Achaeosic take out aging for at least 100 years and enough would have been to allow for us instant healing.By leaving in the nanobots a person can be healed instantly in most cases. Its like Stephen hawking said.
"I do believe that in this century humanity will evolve itself than natural evolution did in one million.The aging process will be reversed,humanity will be able to survive extremely high and low temperatures,to breath dangerous atmospheres,rediation repellent skin "CONTINUE

and maybe even to survive outer space". I wish to be one of the early nanobot pioneers.And If I live long enough I wish to upload my brain onto a computer. Humanity is programmed to overcome any situation. I believe that every problem we wish to overcome we will overcome. What we want invented will be invented. We are still in the early ages of humanity.One day we will be a mechanist god race.We will laugh at God's organic life and look at ours with vast superiority

It looks like we will divide into 2 separate types: Those who become machine & those who remain biological although augmented... cyborgs I suppose. I don't wish to download because I believe that self-preservation means I must preserve this brain. Downloading is just a copy to me just as matter-energy tranportation would be. But I wish you the best of luck achieving that goal. Perhaps your God Race will help people like me achieve our goals with your superior intellect?

@Achaeosic While I am gifted ,it is my hope that I would be able to help people achieve immortality through years of study. For once we have the first self replicating nanobot built,immortality would possibly be only a few months away.

PART 2
Then they could use them to tweek our genetic code to add programming upgrades. That way once it is done then we do not rely on the technology forever to maintain our upgrades, our normal genetic mechanisms would take care of it. Any thoughts on this?

Well be sure and hook me up. Don't give it to everyone though. Some people just need to die.
Selfreplicating Nanobots are a scary thing though making the human host a Grey-blooded Cyborg forever or until he gets subjected to an incredibly powerful magnet. And can there ever be enough safeguards against Grey-Goo runaway? I am really hoping that they keep them Non-self-replicating and requiring being within a special room to even remain operable.

@Achaeosic grey goo scenario is illogical. They will each have a set limit. Unlike in popular belief they would not go to far it would be next to impossible. Scientifically speaking you need not worry.

How do you ensure there will never be a programming error?
Even if each one can only replicate 2 times that would still lead to unlimited numbers.

@Achaeosic There would obviously be a fail safe if that happens.But that would not happen because there would be no errors. Do not worry. If they create a micro robot capable of curing cancer and achieving immortality they would think of every possibility of a grey goo scenario.

Yeah thats what they always say. "Sink? The Titannic can't sink."
I hope you are right. Will it only be reserved for the mega-Rich though?
I chose long ago not to pursue wealth because I see clearly the negative
effects of luxurious living. It is better to live close to nature on as little as
possible. But I worry now that lack of funds will prevent me from having
access to the technology you are talking about even though, once created
it replicates itself.

@Achaeosic Do not worry about wealth.Capitalism will eventually kill itself.And it will be replaced by true democratic socialism .We will see humanity not only achieve purity of form but also purity of essence. People will be like bees who all work together toward a common goal. Back thousands of years ago we were all independent barbarian hordes raping and pillaging.Now we are much more civilized now imagine that change times a hundred.That change will happen eventually.

PART 2
....is part of why Capitalism is failing. Socialism is another part of the
problem, it reared it ugly head in the U.S. & has begun sabotaging the only
self-sustaining economic system there is. Socialism might work alright on
a tribal level where everyone is held accountable but in a larger society,
people take advantage, a problem which grows until that society collapses.
The Achaeosic Empire is the answer. Very few will realize it in time.

@Achaeosic Socialism only works when all of the world and people are devoted to it which is why it wont happen any time soon maybe not even in this millennium. Everyone agrees that the best government is a philosopher king.A monarchy contrary to popular belief caused more good than any democratic government. Why?because monarchs owe nothing to nobody or anything. They just try to help the people. That is why Britannia went down when they gave the King less power.

@Canadianloyalist123
Yes, a loving King is connected to the people, their prosperity coming directly from him & his ancestors therefore a reflection of himself. He didnt pursue power it was thrust upon him. Besides, if you piss off too many people, they cant get rid of you by election so yeah it could get ugly. I only hope that my people & I survive the coming collapse so the Empire can rise restoring sensible Monarchy to some corner of this world, preserving human knowledge & Liberty forever.

@Achaeosic What is your stance on Eugenics. By the way it is nice to have a you tube conversation with someone who does not take one week to reply.
Canadianloyalist123 1 week ago
@Canadianloyalist123
I believe very strongly that Eugenics should be used. Right now our social programs have a negative eugenic effect which will contribute to the collapse of many societies. I believe the Nobility should be mandatorily subjected to solid eugenics forever. The general population should be free to choose but encouraged to voluntarily participate in Eugenics programs.

@Achaeosic We actually agree on alot. Although I believe that there should be mating castes. Those who are the most intelligent,the strongest,and the healthiest shuld be on the top,and the rest be free range. Then restrictions should tighten over the course of years and reach the point were we only have the strongest,healthiest people alive.BTW I was kidding about the graduate in university.Although I study university textbooks and hope to go into nanotechnology.

@Canadianloyalist123
It seems we agree very closely. Maybe just using different words for the same things, roughly. I definitely want to implement a Eugenics program which is required for anyone who is offered to join the Nobility or High Caste. We want each generation to be better based on very intensive genetic analysis. This is our Gene pool of Admistrators, Intellectuals, Elite Warriors, most disease-resistent, keepers of the great secrets, explorers, Immortals, our greatest survivors.
