=\ I'm sick of all this uploading discussion. I subscribed to this list many years ago in order to discuss AGI. The entire point of AGI is the ability to pursue transhumanism, on your own, according to your own actual desires, without needing to deal with the goddamned uploaders every fucking day. =( Uploaders, including my evil roommate, are so damaged that they simply cannot contemplate anything else. That is why I need AGI so I can work out my own technology for self-enhancement without needing to explain shit to flatheads. -- IQ is a measure of how stupid you feel.
