X-Message-Number: 27987 Date: Thu, 25 May 2006 02:25:12 -0500 From: Subject: Re: Singularity & other threadz Well, I have a pretty good list of statements from various forum participants, and I intend to respond to many of them soon. Thanks to those, such as Joseph Morgan, who actually see a probable threat from the emergence of such an entity. Meanwhile, if anyone else would care to present something beyond a feely-good "it can't do any harm" sentiment, such as valid reasons why they think the Singularity would not evolve rapidly to the point of seeing human existence as irrelevant, plus having the unstoppable power to take care of what It would view as the problem, I welcome more posts, before I lay into the ones already presented. Part of my reluctance is also to try not to detract from other important threads here, such as whether Kriorus is a valid cryonics organization (how many months of unperfused freezerburn are there before it is no longer cryonics?), whether Lenin should be reanimated, and Ben's relentless campaign against the BC powers that be. Stay tuned. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=27987
