[agi] Religious attitudes to NBIC technologies
Another indication that we need to take the public relations issue very seriously indeed: as time passes, this problem of the public attitude (and especially the religious attitude) to NBIC technologies will only become more extreme: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7767192.stm Richard Loosemore --- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=120640061-aded06 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com

For them the ideal formula for living has already been described by their favourite guru/prophet/leader, so anything significantly different from this formula (or their interpretation of it) is to be avoided or resisted. This doesn't just apply to nanotechnology, but any technology with the capacity to bring about social or environmental change. I agree that in time we will see more polarization around a variety of technology related issues. --- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=120640061-aded06 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
Re: [agi] Novamente and Hugo de Garis in the japanese media ;-)
Hilarious. Clearly automated translation still has some way to go. "How does a company NOBAMENTE?" Beats me. "long-term goal is to have a company that was founded in 2001" It's always nice to have a long term goal situated in the past. "I live in Maryland and around Europe, and engineers scattered in Brazil" Och, those engineers are always scattering themselves. "However, the consulting firm now sell products from companies trying to migrate to the middle" If you're going to migrate to anywhere I guess the middle is as good a place as any. "Japan to imitate the actions of the users by household robots will be able to "round one" comics, but in the four years after the "first round" like a robot that can be realized." Far out man. "The robots are making the dialogue company and strongly feel the power of perception and learning about robots" Human researchers replaced already! "according to an interview GATSERU CEO of NOBAMENTE" GATSERU is presumably Ben's upload, installed to run NOBAMENTE.

Part of the problem is that these people [correctly] believe that science and technology are destroying their worldview. And as the gaps in scientific knowledge decrease, there's less roo for the "God of the gaps" to occupy. Having said that, I'm not aware that nanotechnology or AI are specifically prohibited by any of the major religions. And if one society forgoes science, they'll just get outcompeted by their neighbours. -- Philip Hunt, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

Re: [agi] Religious attitudes to NBIC technologies
Everyone, The problem here is that WE don't have anything to point to as OUR religion, so that everyone else has the power of stupidity in general and the 1st amendment in particular, yet we don't have any such power. I believe that it is possible to fill in this gap, but I don't wish to discuss incomplete solutions on public forums. However, if you have any ideas just how OUR religion should be structured, then please feel free to send them to me, preferably off-line. It would be a real shame to do a bad job of this, so I'm keeping my detailed thoughts to myself pending a "live birth". Note Buddhism's belief structure that does NOT include a Deity. Note Islam's various provisions for unbelievers to get a free pass, and sometimes even break a rule here and there, so long as they pretend to believe. Any thoughts?
