And the only ones who will be allowed to debate, discuss and make these decisions for the politicians will be the “only qualified people,” the “non-superstitious,” “reason-based,” “non-irrational,” “well-educated,” “intelligent” secular humanists.

The secular humanists completely seek to undermine, destroy and sabotage any public debate that isn’t on their turf under their control.

They’ve reduced the news to fluff and simple, slanted propaganda, not wanting people to be “confused” by any other sides to any issue.

On every subject, they attack any discussion that doesn’t come on their terms, where public discussion would lead in most cases to greater understanding and some solutions being worked out.

This is straight out of Frank Herbert and the Dune universe.

On NBC Nightly News just now, a 1:20 report on Prince not having a will.

And I was going to jokingly say that because they ran that story, they didn’t have time to cover Kelly Ripa returning to her show, but lo and behold they are going to cover that very important story after a commercial break!

This is what our “public debate” is. It is fine to debate Tom Brady’s suspension, but not the “serious matters” will be left for “the experts.”

Is resistance futile?

I suppose that since I have an intraocular lens implant, that technically makes me a transhumanist.

No, I believe that technically makes you an android.

Thank you Nully for making me think of Kryten series 1.0 from series 2. I thought he was a bit more comedic thank Kryten 2.0

The world needs more dwarfers.

I think we’re at the point now, though most scientists won’t admit it that they cannot break down matter any further than they can currently.
As in Quantum mechanics. That point of sub-dividing material to it’s absolute point has been achieved.
Once they get to this absolute point, matter lacks locality.

Based on this, some in the science community think we are living in some very high-tech “digital universe”. Or simulation.

So there must be another realm outside of our “simulation” that is much larger and much more real.

Mathematically speaking this isn’t surprising. Man though IMHO cannot understand nor should be trusted with this crazy technology.
