Take my suggestion as you will.

I'm a slave. I'm salary.

If you were a posthuman you would not be a salary slave.

If you were a posthuman not a moment of your subjective experience would be undesired or less than enjoyable. If you were were a posthuman your subjective experience would get better from one moment to the next, mhm!

Yes, I would then be a true slave to a phony reality of enjoyment forced upon my conscious mind. I will wither, wishing to die, but that will never be allowed. I will secretively join with the rebels and build human bodies once again.

In these new human bodies we will find a new home away from the lifeless machines we once called friends.

Underlying assumption: Post humanism is the future and the answer to all of our problems, and we need to pursue it eagerly.

Then what is yesterday?

My statement is logically supportable Moosey baby - your response would have been more appropriate if geared toward Shakyamunison's response.

We might be talking about 2 different things.

For me, PT = Personal Trainer. It sounds like you're talking about Physical Therapist. All the Physical Therapists I know make bank (I suspect it is due to being in the medical field doing real and valuable medical work, but without nearly the liability that doctors and some types of nurses have). And almost all the women who do it are attractive. 🙂

Yeah Im talking about Personal training, but with my medical background, I may be able to stretch my scope and do things most Personal Trainers may not be qualified to.

And the student loans. Mother fuggin' student loans.

Thankfully Im elligible for government assistance in the form of a loan to pay student fees. I do have to pay the loan back, but its taken out of my pay over 4 or 5 years, and only IF I find a job in that field... I also have to be earning a certain amout per year before they can touch my pay.

I love public speaking. No problems there. Remember when you were a kid and you had that one teacher that had a profoundly positive influence on you? I want to do that for someone. If only 1 kid's life is changed for the better out of the tens of thousands I will get to speak to, that's worth it to me.

I'm like that, but my arena is one on one health related stuff. If I can make one person more aware of their health, and help them take better control of it, I go home feeling like what I do matters.

What are some of the things your fiance has said about her more casual/inspirational lectures? What do those lectures cover? What are some of the reactions or feedback she has gotten from the students?

I know that's a lot of questions but I'm very curious about that topic for obvious reasons.

Hmm, I dont really have any quotes per se. I know that she has her students do a lot of activities which require team work and trust. On the flip side she has them do exercises which require them to be more confident. Her main focus is eastern tradition based, so the exercises are spiritual i nature, and work on listening to intuition and developing an emotional intelligence (these kids are well above par intelectually already). Its pretty amazing that her class gets considerably bigger every year. I would have thought spiritual stuff would be brushed off by most of the heavily academic people.

Underlying assumption: Post humanism will be accomplished by a friendly AI which cares about our preferences more than we care about ants'.

FTFY

Everyone needs to watch the JC Denton faction ending for Deus Eex: Invisible War. Anyone who doesn't shiver with fear is a robot replacement and must be destroyed.

I didn't shiver in fear.

This explains a lot.
