Need to get someone to promise to eat something ridiculous if Donald Trump get impeached. A hunk of granite maybe? Maybe some of the Swedish rotted fish thing?

honestly I’d really appreciate it if people who dislike transhumanism point me in the direction of why
I don’t know if I’d say I ‘dislike’ transhumanism so much as it’s important to keep the general arc of science and medicine in mind.
“Scientists installed robot wings in my back and now I can fly” is awesome. “Scientists installed first-generation robot wings in my back and then I was in unbearable pain because all of my spinal discs prolapsed” is not.
Which is related to my other thought, which is that we just aren’t very good at predicting what life would be like under very different circumstances. On a certain level transhumanism isn’t that different from people saying that we’d have flying cars and robot maids by the year 2000.
yes, although this seems like just avoiding over optimism, even if you think it’s the right direction overall.
Do not underestimate the cyborg equivalent of furries who WOULD endure the lmao prolapsed spine phase of transhumanism
These brave heroes will help bring mankind closer to perfection, and/or test the safety of the secondary backup heart implant before I get it. Truly, our hats go off for these brave Cyberfurs™.

A typical day on Rationalist Tumblr.
blue-rondo said: This anon thinks that Marxist leftists aren’t also subverted by the CIA lol. Wait til these people discover who funded and backed Marx to begin with.
please don’t tell me the Soviet Union was a CIA plot to conquer Europe
For a short while, I and a few friends of mine joked that Communism was a Western plot to destroy Asia.

You say this as a shitpost, but if we project my views into the past while keeping them semi-coherent, I would have actually suggested making a queer or gay jurisdiction as a test of just how dangerous it really is.
Still, I suppose I can add “accused of being Mencius Moldbug” (though it was very probably a shitpost) to the List, along with “labeled ‘faux Asian nationalist political thinker’,” “suggested should work at a think tank,” and a few other things.
The thing about Neoreaction is that Gnon doesn’t care about you, either, and neither did it care about species throughout history that have gone extinct - and what we want is survival and prosperity for ourselves, not to be subject to outrageous Fortune. And Fnargl? There’s no reason for him not to overwrite your mind with his superior technology or just replace you with a robot.
Neoreaction is not positioned to account for Transhumanism, among other things. As such, it’s a dead end.
Any overlap I have with Neoreactionary thought is largely incidental. I don’t really interact with them, nor read them.
I’m not a dark angel cast out of Gnon’s heaven to dwell among the mortal Liberals and spread the heretical gospels of Dark Enlightenment™. I’m surfing a wave seeking a better future, looking to synthesize a new, upwards axis.
[soon your askbox would be full of shitpost asks like Argumate’s and] you’d be tempted to make an ms paint collage for every single one.
This television show blog doesn’t have that kind of animation drawing budget.
But don’t worry. Most anons on this blog do not get a Full Custom™ MS Paint.JPG for their asks. It’s just the rate of images per ask that would reduce.
I want to shitpost that Social Justice is White Supremacy.
Because under badly-done Social Justice, we see a pattern where only white males have agency, only white males have power, only white males are capable of action that actually does anything and can cause harm, and their resources are effectively unlimited. Under that same framework, the world is divided into whites and everyone else, and the whites enacted truly stunning and powerful violence on an unimaginable scale that no one else could. Their dominance is so overwhelming that any minorities disagreeing with SJ have “internalized male opinions” or white opinions, like some kind of mind control, and are incapable of deciding their beliefs for themselves. And the white supremacy must be actively held down, or it will inevitably seize control of the world.
But of course, it isn’t really the case that even badly-done SJ is truly white supremacist…
“not being white does not mean you are of color”, while a perfectly reasonable statement in the right context, suggests a categorisation scheme of:
- white (or “people who think they are white”, Ta-Nehisi Coates)
- people of color
- just folks
Whiteness/Colorness is defined by oppressiveness. Therefore, Yamato in Japan and Han in China are not People of Color.

SAN FRANCISCO—In an effort to reduce the number of unprovoked hostile communications on the social media platform, Twitter announced Monday that it had added a red X-mark feature verifying users who are in fact perfectly okay to harass. “This new verification system offers users a simple, efficient way to determine which accounts belong to total pieces of shit whom you should have no qualms about tormenting to your heart’s desire,” said spokesperson Elizabeth James, adding that the small red symbol signifies that Twitter has officially confirmed the identity of a loathsome person who deserves the worst abuse imaginable and who will deliberately have their Mute, Block, and Report options disabled. “When a user sees this symbol, they know they’re dealing with a real asshole who has richly earned whatever mistreatment they receive, including profanity, body-shaming, leaking of personal information, and relentless goading to commit suicide. It’s really just a helpful way of saying to our users, ‘This fuck has it coming, so do your worst with a clear conscience and without fear of having your account suspended.’” At press time, Twitter reassuredly clarified that the red X was just a suggestion and that all users could still be bullied with as little recourse as they are now.
