"Life is pain"? Life is obviously not pain. Pain is merely a signal that there is something wrong that needs fixing. When there is nothing wrong - inside or out - life is fun. Technology helps fix & prevent the things that cause pain - physical (illness, hunger, trauma, catastrophe) and psychological (isolation, insecurity, victimhood, tedium). Education also plays a role: a mistrained forms habits that cause self-inflicted misery. With the right technology and education, we can all be happy.

Yeah, we will have to disagree.
I don't see what is so alluring about the past that floats your boat ...
We CAN have intelligent, ecologically-conscious technology.
That's where I'm at.

Have you read "The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect"? It's about a post-technopia world and addresses some of the problems like people shutting themselves off and only self-stimulating.

No, I haven't, sounds interesting, I'll have to see if the libraries have it. Thanks.

It was published online; I think there's a print version but self-published at lulu or something. Anyhow, google for the phrase: "metamorphosis of prime intellect" and it should be the first result, hosted at k5.

Ok, thanks, man, I will be having some time this holiday season to read it. =)

Technotopia = 666
The letters add up to 666 if you imitate the gematria of Greek and Hebrew by assigning A=1 to Z=800. I believe the two Satanic monsters of Revelation 13 in the Bible symbolize modern science and technology. The "image of the beast" described in Rev 13:15 is an AI made in the image of science, and it will rule over the technotopia created by man.
