My gosh, you've managed to refuted his entire predictive methodology in three words... you must be pretty smart!

[neoaeonian]

Think about it. He's not there. That's a 3D projection.

@apagoogoo Re: Tim Leary, choose death over immortality

Funny you should say that. After a lifetime of being signed up for cryonics in hopes of immortality, I understand that Tim Leary recanted at the last minute.

I'm fine with you choosing death over immortality for yourself. Just don't think you have so much moral high ground that it give you the right to impose your death choice on other people.

[neoaeonian]

@intrascoobz The 500 word limit must be making you have to over-compress what you are saying. I can't follow your point here at all. Go ahead and use 2 or 3 posts, or PM me. I would like to understand what you are saying.

For myself, it is because I love this world as it is, the mountains, trees, people, everything about it, that I don't want to give in to the 120 year biological limit. I don't think, technology allowed, solving this will make radical changes to me.

@Bitsmaster1024 To live forever , huh? Is this what you've been led 2believe? and then you hope he's right? We've more than 90% brain potential yet left untapped. It seems innerstanding unfolds this inherent potential within each individual. Memory is in the heart not the brain. The brain's potential by way of media is significantly lessened with a 1934 Communications Act , great PR , & control of educational forums. Editors rule & academia is left 2silently refute modern day's lies& trust

@neoaeonian If "science" didn't mastermind it's directional focus by excluding what's in front of their nose , I wouldn't detect a replacing of nature. Mathematically & with the power of graphs , the chosen glory has been to exemplify what you? futurists live for ; to continue experiencing the "world" existing on a diversity of planks with a c! Technetronic Era along with technological "nets" -a futurists appeal is of conscious without a memory in the heart 2discern! An all as 1 hook up 2fish?

@intrascoobz Re: kindergarten refute

Ok, how about:

Who said anything about replacing nature, that's impossible. nature is the only thing we can use. Silicon chips, nature. Lasers, nature. Fusion, Nature. Some of us choose to glory in nature differently than others. (Ever read, "Nature" magazine. Nature unleashed is what us Futurists live for. Nature, glorious, imortality enabling nature. I love being alive today, when we are finally able to start appreciating nature for all it offers.

[intrascoobz]

@neoaeonian I've heard that kindergarten refute before , you know , the nada rule of tactic.

[apagoogoo]

well, he'll outlive me. i'm with tim leary, whose last words were, "why not?". i choose death over immortality.

[kermitcintronsucks]
