>>3213
Drugs are tools

Not everyone is a tradesman. Stop hatin' and start understandin'

>Stop hatin' and start understandin'
I just said that drugs are bad, where did that even come from? Or are you telling me they're not?

>>3218
Are you alright?

YES. And become a body which could be potentially hijacked by any 2kewl4u cracker.
Anything to be part of precious Section 9.
Where do I sign?

If that allowed me to become one with the internet, I would seriously consider it!

I would but viruses would ruin the choice

But in all seriousness viruses may only be a problem in certain situations or… The way I see it it wouldn't be a problem in certain situations. Computers aren't very good at telling the difference between a virus and a program that's not a virus, but people are much better at telling things like that, think of the number of advertisements you see on other websites that are just scams, computers are just much more gullible.

So if…

A) the machine you are integrated with was so advanced that it was actually capable of telling difference between something sketching and something not sketchy it would probably be okay, but chances are that something like that could never be perfect the same way there are people who do fall for scams, and of course viruses would be written a lot more intelligently in an age where computers are more intelligent as well.

B) you are integrated with your computer enough that you fully understand the workings of computers and such and are capable of seeing what programs are malicious the same way you can tell what of those little advertisements are scams.

C) your computer is no more integrated with you then an iPhone lodged into your brain, the only bearing it has over your own brain is visual and audio (possibly other senses) output, the worst the virus could do is be really annoying or spam you with advertisements, at which point you just have to shut it off, do a scan, whatever you would normally do with a computer that has a virus.

I mean… It's not like viruses of the mind don't already exist, that is how cults and religions work. People seem to be terrified of the idea of information entering their brain without their consent first but you know what, anytime someone says something or you read something information enters your brain without your consent.

If you find videos about this kind of stuff on YouTube and look at the comment section below it's usually a war zone about this kind of thing.

Maybe in the future we will be able to fully reverse the negative effects of aging, since it's a purely mechanical issue and all. That would make death a choice, rather than inevitability.

I imagine it would be incredibly expensive and therefore only available to the rich. But it's not like we, the regular Joes, would have much use for it in the first place, right?

Still, that would be pretty upsetting to many, I imagine, to know that death no longer was the great equalizer.

So what does reversing age have to do wit lh stopping death since thre are poisons, murders, diseases, and bad diets, and natural disasters.

>>3190
These can all happen. I meant stopping death from "old age", i.e. damage being done to your body every day eventually outpacing its diminishing ability to regenerate.

Hi Nietzsche, still believing the übermensch is the way of men?

>>3193

The idiots would finally remove themselves from the gene pool? I fail to see how this is a problem.

>>3194

And they'd bring a good number of non-idiots, too. There's bound to be more casualties than the driver if they crash into, say, a house.

>>3195
So your ideal is for everyone to walk everywhere?

Fuck flying cars, what we need is TELEPORTERS

>>3196

No, because that is not what I said.
