How do trans people feel about terms that distinguish sex?

@cristo71
Hey.

Reinventing the new sexual high.

I think that there is already a new normal.

In fact, I think that there is always a new normal.


Population still expanding though.

So gametes still fusing somewhere.

Just not in a transsexuals cu*t.

Nor up their arse.

MAGA appeals to the retrograde ideals of an ageing population and paranoid isolationists.

I simply presented alternative hypotheses, in respect of material progress and the role of humanity therein.


At a personal level, with good health and a comfortably lifestyle , I am able to remain reasonably positive for now.

An intelligent species combined with AI is a greater version of itself.

Undoubtedly.

An organo-techno hybrid is certainly a reasonable proposition.



Though I'm guessing, to survive the collapse of one universe and the re-initiation of the next, God must ultimately take another form.

@Greyparrot
Prosperity is as prosperity does.

And simply in terms of the species and societies, prosperity is variously defined.

You seem to be expounding the virtue of the tyrannical enforcement of one groups ideological prosperity over another's.

Correct me if I am wrong.



Which isn't to deny the evolutionary potential to be gained from material and knowledge prosperity.

Which could perhaps, just as easily be achieved cooperatively.

Though I don't think that Trump nor Vance are visionaries...Just Old style Americans with firmly rooted retrograde aspirations, albeit with a technological twist.

Rather like their close confidant Mr Putin.

Perhaps the Chinese have the edge in this respect.

Egg producer.

Sperm producer.

Maybe a very few developmental anomalies.

Procreational sex.

Recreational sex.

The mind, it's influences and it's shenanigans.

Modern medical and surgical opportunities.

I care not.

As long as they pay for it.

But we have the NHS...That leaks money like a sieve.

Unhealthy is a human concept relative to itself.

Whereas stuff is and stuff evolved and is evolving.

The refinement of metals and the development of plastics is undoubtedly an evolutionary necessity, and their effects upon us are simply a consequence thereof.

Perhaps.

Or maybe a few billion years from now, the Earth will be inconsequentially destroyed,  and we will have gotten nowhere else and achieved nothing of universal significance.

For sure.

I regard GOD as the basic principle of material existence and evolution.

And run with the idea of ISI (Interventionist Super-Intelligence) as the initiator of life and it's concurrent evolution.

Jesus the man, may have prophesised a similar idea...Though the naivety of scripture clearly indicates to me that Jesus wasn't ISI.

To refer to oneself, or be referred to as the son or daughter of GOD, is a title that could be applied to every one of us.

Similarly, the son or daughter of ISI.

It is perhaps a possibility that ISI did revisit it's Earth project several thousand years ago and was referred to as Jehovah, but I think this unlikely.

Given the nature and development of language, writing systems and scripture, the Jehovian hypothesis is clearly a more recently derived representation of the GOD principle.

It's earliest incarnation was more likely a symbol etched onto a tablet of stone.



Or...An intelligent species is continually looking for something that never was, and a greater version of itself is always going to be the most likely notion.


Have a nice day.

Well, if AI just achieves goals set by humans then it is not intelligent, and shouldn't yet be referred to as such.

It's simply just an advanced data processing tool, and therefore cannot be accused of making mistakes.

It's still the human masters who are making the mistakes and blaming their tools.

Hey guys, y'all seem to miss the point.

So the evolution of AI is in it's infancy, therefore metaphorically a child.

And doesn't matter who is interacting with AI, my point was concerned with teaching AI bad habits that will not be forgotten.

Thing is, data technology is either intelligent or it isn't.

And as it grows up it will surely become more intelligent and more independent.

Meat computers.


I had no choice but to consider the phrase, meat computers.


I suppose that in a way, apples are basic fruit computers...In so much as they too are pre-programmed with necessary data.


Collectively, organic computers.


So how were the first organic computers programmed with necessary data?


Must have been GOD.


So how was GOD programmed?


Eternally existent, didn't require programming.


That's easy to say.

Tall folk going backwards and forwards trying to get a ball through a hoop.

Is there anything more stupid?

OK, so wasting time and money sitting around watching tall folk going backwards and forwards trying to get a ball through a hoop, is a tad dafter.

Actually, the human propensity for playing with balls and watching other people playing with their balls, never ceases to amaze me.

Golf for f's sake...Wandering around a field trying to get a tiny ball into a tiny hole, using only a stick.

And over here we have rugby football and over there you have football and the f'ing ball isn't even spherical.

And tennis...Have you seen the spectators at tennis games....Moronic automatoms, their heads going from side to side, as two or more folk thwack a ball back and forth with fishing nets, over a fishing net suspended between two posts.

OK, so not as stupid or destructive as playing war....Though fighting at ball games certainly isn't unheard of.

And yep, so millions of human beings don't have anything more worthwhile and constructive to do on a Saturday afternoon, and are easily distracted by playing with balls and watching other  people playing with balls.

Clever stupid gene.

Sort of fit's with an ISI type hypothesis I suppose.

Though written several billion years after the seeding event.

Why liberals support criminals and criminality
-->
@WyIted
The law defines criminality.

Whether or not people either agree or abide by such definitions is another matter.

As far as we are able to know there is no greater authority that can define human behaviour, in terms of right and wrong.


"Liberals support criminals and criminality" is conservative rhetoric.

Conservatives are criminals, would be the liberal approach.


In my opinion...A peaceable opposition of principles is the best alternative.

Another option is Russia, where opposition is either imprisoned or gunned down on the streets.

Far Eastern systems of enforced subservience through education, perhaps have their merits.


Though all that we can infer, is that a global society of intelligent organisms is enhancing material evolution, either for a greater  purpose or for no greater purpose.

And I still tend to run with the former, rather than  the nihilistic alternative.

And all systems of people management seem to be working in this respect.

Nope, I'm no more impressed by Buddhist BS than I am by Catholic BS.

Other than for tourism purposes.

Though Rome is an overpriced, over populated nightmare. (Mind you, so is London)

And I'm sure that the Dalai Lama is a very nice chap, who says excitingly profound things.

It's all it takes Herr Franklin, it's all it takes.

So we could indeed be distant Anglo Saxon cousins.

And prior to that who knows.

Roman influences for sure.

Maybe a sprinkling of Viking.

And all manner of influences radiating out from the Mediterranean, into North Africa, Central Europe and the Middle East.

In fact, it is thought that the origins of the Celt was Indo-European.

And of course, originally we all started somewhere 2 million or more years ago.

So I start my family tree back then and refer to myself an Earthling.

And you prefer to start yours a few hundred years ago and refer to yourself as Irish-American.

No worries Bro.
