    The Singularity

    singularity DOES NOT=EMOTIONLESS. True ai is capable of simulating all the various processes going on in the human brain. A post singularity being would be able to do more then just emulate human emotions they could have even more advanced emotions. Much like how we "feel" more then the rest of...

    The Singularity

    I repeat this to myself all the time. People look at our current level of technology and our satisfied but I'm not. Our current capabilities are just child's play maybe worse but we think we are all grown up. What I would give to have been born even 25 years from now. When I think about our...

    The Singularity

    biological life is not fundementally different from machines. Both exploit physical law to efficiently acomplish a task. Living machines use organo-chemicals and classical machines use well everything else. Transhumanism represents our transcendence of biology but evolution will still persist.

    Same here. I usually have to wait tillI have time to go over my day to "notice" something. As far as Se goes I am either Oblivious to everything or will notice 1-2 details that caught my eye and hyper focus on them to the exclusion of all else.

    I used to think I would choose 100% logic but now I don't think this could work unless A;the majority of transhumanists do so as well or B; you create your own little logical VR bubble and I am skeptical of option A working. Look at the trend in resource allocation in intelligent life. The...

    Defining an enigma.

    I've figured it out. FP is really a figment of the collective INTP imagination. Created out of our need to find enigmas...so if we all just pretend FP is not real we can unmake it. Or turn it into something cool like a talking dolphin with telekinisis.

    Would your parents be against you seeking help or are you too proud/ashamed/anxious to tell them you have a problem? I delayed seeking help until things spiraled out of control because I simply did not want my parents to know I had a problem, BIG mistake. I'm not sure I can offer much advice...

    The Singularity

    I think everyone can agree that he is NTJ. I lean towards E because the show hints at him being quite the ladies man and one of the most popular people at school. I think people confuse him for an introvert because the show is so is so narcissistic, everything revolves around light.
