What would you do if you had the money to stay 25 for 1,000 years?

All though your waking rational side couldn't be brainwashed without obvious and directly terminal implications, your subconscious, animal side, can be altered directly through its neural neural network as electrical signals within nanites generate stimuli to certain areas of the brain, changing it to match the projected opinions one's remote viewer, a "brain operative" of the shadow government.

If a person that you need to help you doesn't like you, there is a good chance that it's because a brain operative is acting under the order to sabotage your efforts to achieve a goal that might be conflicting to the shadow government's interests. That's why we must value our logical, rational thoughts more than our inward feelings and intuition.

My god you're just adorable.

As far as using the technology enslave the mind, they already are. That's why they're trying to keep the social hierarchy, that's why their banning scientific research through the government, slashing R&D funding through the oil companies, and that is why they, in fact, do not want a techno-utopian techo-progressive society.

Because personality is the product of intrinsic motivations redirected from their original purpose to adapt to its environment, our rational thoughts can become our inward desires, through harnessing emotions, for better regulation and control when its in our best interest to befriend someone that we're repelled by (because someone else is in us, making us repelled).

BINGO! I win buzzword Bingo!

But when your asleep, your see and hear what a brain operative wants you to see and hear as their thoughts change the program that gives your sleeping mind icons and auditory messages to interpret.

But when you are awake and see someone, and a brain operative wants you to avoid or become hostile to that person, he'll have the system command select nanites to introduce impulses into certain structures so as to produce cortisol.

When you've communicated with this individual enough times, you shall associate that person with stress.

This is happening right now, and these people want more people like Shakya, who will be content with their programmed lives, and in the process allow the shadow government to gain more and more control in preventing a techno-utopia from emerging, making life worse for everyone.

Dolos, please take your conspiracy threads to the conspiracy forum. This thread has nothing to do with Philosophy. All you are now doing to trying to turn it into a spiteful thread for personal attacks.

So why not stop them from stopping the world from becoming a better place?

By demanding the "medicine" to make someone young again, the scientific know-how and resources in which they no doubt keep to themselves, that is exactly what you're doing.

It is not my fault if you mistake the philosophical scrutiny I displayed in questioning your entire life's belief-system as character assassination.

Dolos

My pointing out the fact that your posts are filled with buzzwords strung together has nothing to do with making the world a better place. You are not making the world a better place my posting in this forum, and if you think you are, then you are delusional.

Oh, I thought you were calling bingo! to successfully guessing the negative implications of this technology.

No. There is no real technology in this thread. Not to say that there isn't real science in this field, but scientists are talking about extending like by years not centuries. There are huge obstacles, and most scientists believe there is a limit to length of life.

Also, it is unethical. The world is already over populated. If everyone lived to 1000 years old, the world will become so overpopulated, that the human race will become extinct.

We should all grow old and die leaving room for the next generation.

The idea here is that the natural order of things are limited only to man's ingenuity, and to our courageous explorations into the unknown, conquering stagnation and death.

You say let us die and let the next generation continue on, yet human society is not a constant like the rest of eco-system, we are different. Why would a God want us to be like our animal predecessors?

A viable alternative would be to reduce the birth rate to counter balance the longevity. But then again, as it is I think birth rates ought to be controlled worldwide, since we're stretching thin resources at an alarming rate.

The only good reason for something like living for 1000 years is interstellar travel.

I like how you didn't even consider my doer comment to reply to a can't-do comment.

Again, I feel very confident in my abilities to single-handily create a technocracy - but here I'm just venting to intensify my resolve in doing so. I don't expect people who're so simple-minded to want to be set free from a prison they won't acknowledge by writing walls of text.

It is my actions that will set you free.

I'm sorry, but I get about half way through your posts and then I zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Perhaps when you become aware of me through my accomplishments, you'll be more motivated by my views.

Really, have you made any accomplishments yet?

What do you do for a living?

Is a long lifespan against Buddhism? You're acting like using technology to evolve into a substrate independent being made of nanites, would be against Buddhism, when in fact Buddhist philosopher have said absolutely nothing about the technological singularity. I'm willing to bet most people, including Buddhists and practitioners of other religions, neither know nor care about the technological singularity. Agelessness, and nigh indestructibility does not necessitate infallibility. This is a Type I civilization (See, Kardashev Scale), that can be destroyed. And even if it couldn't, as Type II's are completely immortal, they can even prevent their system's star from going supernova, reincarnation is an abstraction written by man and - as any theism - understood as unquestionable fact. Bhuddists, Christians, theists, atheists, scientists; know very little about the secrets of the cosmos.

The difference is that I for one, am willing to take the plunge - to transform, free of religion.

If I stay world champ for 10 years, by 35 I will be a billionaire who'll fund the Venus Project, and try and get techno-progressives and transhumanists involved with the thing. I will try to check mate capitalism, communism, and government in general in favor of something different.

You will not be free of religion. You just showed me your religion. Sorry, but I am a Buddha, not a robot. I inhabit a flesh machine made by nature. You will never be able to top that.
