Everything you think do and say, is in the pill you took today
Transhumanism
is the very best kind of humanism, and as should be evident from my
posts, I am very sympathetic towards this movement and its goals. The
Finnish blogger "Kaksoisagentti" always offers the best links to the field. I don't really know about the site "Doomsday Curve",
though. The song is somewhat amateurish, although I have to admire the
attempt. It is not the critic, who counts, or where the doer of deeds
could have done better, but the credit belongs to the man who is
actually in the microphone, and if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly, so that he'll never be with those cold and timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat.
Perhaps the transhumanists should find some new Zager and Evans, a recording artist who is able to make a song as powerful as "In the Year 2525". Te first time I heard this song so that I actually listened to its lyrics, I was amazed that in that primitive era in the year 1969 these guys actually made a song like this and that it was a massive hit. Foreshadowing the future! Of course, in the year 1969, when man was still a child, he believed that body modification and test tube babies were a bad thing! When I listen to this song, from my perspective it does not sound "nightmarish" at all! As man's technological inventions gradually dehumanize him, I say that it's about time.

If the sixties were such a primitive era, no wonder that the western radicals of the sixties admired all those barbaric natives because after all, people of the sixties were all, including the radicals, wild people :)
