Does anyone else out there realize or suspect that we all truly are one and the same?
Transhumanism

Yeah, I guess I am one too, but with a clear distinction. I think it’s important to realize that there is much more to improving humanity than just improving an individual’s intellectual and physical abilities.
We are already plenty smart and strong, yet socially sometimes we are still retarded.
As for David Pearce.. very interesting! But before I delve deeper into this guy and his crazy theories, I would like to ask you whether he thinks that suffering has no value? This is the first question that should pop into anyone’s mind, but it’s not even in the faq!
Why introverts are inferior to extraverts.
Leave a Comment
“Introverts are more concerned with the inner world of the mind. They enjoy thinking, exploring their thoughts and feelings.” -about.com
In the current climate, it is advisable that introverts go multidisciplinary. Meaning they should try and be as polyvalent as possible, studying different things at a time. Why?
Basically, introverts like to spend their time alone thinking (and are good at it, which can be either genetic or due to training effects). If introverts would go multidisciplinary, for example going for a degree in Economics and Computer Science, they would have a keen sense of understanding both fields at the end of the road (dark blue triangles). They would be able to analyze and abstract relevant elements from both fields, combine them and develop a new promising idea in a fast, efficient way.
It would be economically inefficient for 2 extraverts, both being PhD’s in their respective fields (light blue triangles), to try and achieve the same result as the introvert who did it all in his own head. Ignoring the fact that 2 persons are generally more costly than just 1, the 2 extraverts are only able to know what the other one is thinking by talking to each other. Being extraverts, they are naturally efficient at communicating, but they are no match for the introvert who only needed to find the answer within himself. Since multidisciplinary studies are still rarely taken, there are still lots of valuable nuggets to be found crossreferencing the dark blue triangles. It is thus advisable that introverts go multidisciplinary. Only when the dark blue triangles are mined out do the extraverts regain the advantage, as they are capable of internalizing the light blue areas in their crossreferencing too, something the multidisciplinary introvert is not able to do. Two monodisciplinary introverts are also worse off than 2 extraverts because the latter are statistically (actually?) more efficient at communicating.
Theoretically speaking, in the long long term, introverts should be bred out, having become inferior to extraverts.
From heaven to hell and back to earth

Yesterday was the most awkward, weird and dramatic day of my life. I’ve been on cloud nine ever since I came up with my idea, developing it further and dreaming about the possibilities. The very thought of it made me smile, grin, and shiver with excitement. The amount of adrenaline in my blood must’ve been near fatal for my heart, I tell ya!
But then yesterday night I suddenly realized I was overlooking something. Until then I had been ignoring a little fact, thinking that something so trivial would only minorly be able to affect my plans. But when I finally decided to stop ignoring it, it started to dawn on me that this matter would be able to completely destroy the constructions I had in mind until that point. For about one hour I was convinced that that was it, that nothing could be done further to reanimate the project, over and out. From a few days of heavenly bliss I had suddenly landed in hell’s misery.. knocked down.
I owed it to the project to spend the last of my energy to thinking about it some more though. And luckily I did, because there is still a way, I think. It just needs to be looked at from a different angle this time around. The result is something quite a bit more challenging, but still doable I hope. And funnily enough the construction has become a bit more elegant and flexible thanks to it. We’re still good to go, although I really hope I won’t have to go through something like that again. But the way I see it, all contingencies have now been taken into account, and all that is left is tackling them one by one.
Looking back I guess it was a funny experience as well. Because during the time when my body was still all high on the original idea, I already predicted that it wouldn’t be able to sustain the ecstasy much longer. I predicted I would crash, not having slept well in days and acting all hyperactive the whole time! And I was right..
So yesterday definitely was a day full of drama. But in the end it’s probably a good thing that I went through this. I needed to come back to reality with a clear head. We’re only in the beginning of a long long way.
Morning epiphanies
Leave a Comment
Often, in the wee small hours of the morning -still half asleep-, ideas that hatched from dreams still linger.
Such glorious ideas sometimes seem to carry with them even the answer to life itself, until this epiphony inevitably goes on to trigger the awakening of the other, still dormant parts of one’s wit, and the once sweet delusion starts making place for the familiarity of crude reality.
This time however -fully awake-, the reality appears neither familiar nor crude.
Was the sky not the limit?

Lo que sea que vaya a ocurrir después de morir, no tendrá ningún sentido.
Whatever may happen after we die, it won’t make any sense.
Pero de todas formas, soy inmortal yo~!

Unchain yourself, no limits. You’re not perfect, don’t pretend that you are. The quest for perfection should never jeopardize the chance of attaining it.
Unleash, let go, reach out~
Culture of entertainment

“If it’s real, it’s awesome, if it’s not real, it still made me laugh, and therefore it’s still awesome.
So does it matter whether or not it’s real?”
It’s like nowadays our lifes only revolve around entertainment. Are we so bored with life that we are more than ready to forsake knowing what is decent or good or real, just to get a little amusement out of it?
¿De qué consta una buena persona?
Leave a Comment
La mayoría del tiempo me considero una buena persona… Pero de vez en cuando me pregunto cuál es la razón por la que quiero ser buena persona. Es que a veces, personas no me tratan bien y desde aquel momento, yo tampoco ya tengo muchas ganas de tratarlas bien.
¿Todavía soy buena persona cuando espero recibir cosas en cambio por mi bondad? ¿Es toda la gente intrínsicamente egoísta? ¿Lo soy yo?
What Star Trek teaches us about ourselves.
Leave a Comment
So it was my dad’s birthday last week. He’s a big fan of Star Trek and so we bought him the ‘Time Travel’ DVD box set. Basically, it’s a ‘best of’ collection of Star Trek episodes revolving around the theme of time traveling.
Star Trek is cool. I like how they created this vast and intricate universe which gets you into dreaming what the future might look like. Obviously, it’s all make-belief, but they do a good job in giving the average Joe Schmoe the impression that everything is meticulously researched and/or based on actual science. I for one don’t see anything wrong with modifying the main deflector unit to emit an inverse tachyon pulse for the sole purpose of scanning a temporal anomaly located beyond the subspace barrier. While watching these time travel episodes though, I noticed me scratching my head more than once. And I’m stilll scratching.. so I’m probably not going to be able to explain what bugs me well enough for anyone to understand. But I need to write it out, if only to remind my future self that I need to ponder on this some more!
The past influences the present, obviously. That means that if you would change the past and the change you would make is significant enough, you would change whoever you are at present too. Now with that in mind, if you would somehow have the ability to change the past, to what extent would you actually use that ability? And in what way could you possibly benefit from it?
Say you lost an arm in a car accident one year ago. And you plan on somehow changing the past so to prevent that accident from ever happening. If you decide to go forth with that plan and it succeeds, wouldn’t you have effectively erased your present self? In what way would that new version of you still be you?
You should already know the answer. You see, it already happened. Your cunning plan already succeeded. Here you are with two arms on you. Amazing isn’t it? Do you feel a sense of accomplishment? Probably not, since you can’t remember any of it. In fact, it never even happened, so there’s nothing to remember. And now that we’re here, I’ll ask the two-armed version of you again. In what way are you still the same person you were? And with that in mind, would you ever consider altering the past again? Under what circumstances? What does that teach us about ourselves?
God is unbelievable.

It’s impossible for me to understand how one can believe in God.
God can’t be man’s answer to him questioning existence, because then he would need to question God himself, or accept an illogical answer to a logical question. In that case, why even bother questioning in the first place?
