    It's not my fault that you also have a bad aim to add to your dodgy intentions.

    All part of the cos play you perform. Well, being a troll makes you see trolls everywhere. I get it now. Calling me a troll before you can be called one. Ingenious!

    But 1 branch (our earth) remained alive. Our earth was the branch that was in the best position to receive the most light in the large Amazon forest … … but a rose always remains susceptible to diseases and pests …. many brown spots (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, meteorite impacts, ice ages,… ..) But our rose bush did not give up…Vincent

    The rose bush starts making a flower bud (humanity was born) (the moment when all the misery started)…. but the rose continues to suffer from brown spots (wars, slavery, diseases,Vincent

    The moment that distinguishes humanity from the animal kingdom.

    What will happen soon …… .. soon the flower bud is fully grown…. and soon the flower bud is going to open … .. but as everyone knows … it takes a few days before the rose is completely open …. it will take a while before everything falls into the fold …Vincent

    Ray Kurzweil has an eerily accurate track record of technological predictions. His prediction for the first general intelligence is 2028, the first super intelligence around 2050 and the singularity around 2080. And I'm inclined to believe him as I was surprised by Watson and alpha GOArmChairPhilosopher

    Well, I hope you are correct and I am wrong. Around 2080 eh, I am 57 so that would make me 115.
    I hope you can survive till then. I am pretty sure, I'm f*****, but if I am still here and it's all happening as you suggest then I will nip back onto this thread to tell you YOU WERE CORRECT or I will just connect to you transhuman to transhuman and in a contrived Mr Spock voice, I will "confirm the accuracy of your prediction."

    I'm 59 but ancestors from both parents sides have reached about 100 in a time when the average life expectancy was half of what it's now. So I expect to live to about 200.

    :rofl: Dont worry, WW3 remains highly unlikely due to M.A.D.
    If a full or significant nuclear exchange happens then the resultant climate change will make us extinct so there will be no WW4. Life on Earth probably will survive but not human or transhuman life.

    Yes we survive that. I mean humanity, probably not an individual like you or me. Pretend you believe it and think further.

    Why would I pretend to believe something?
    If I did that then I could hardly accuse anyone else of pretense!
    I assume your first language is not English and this may be why I misunderstand some of your points.
    Lost in translation is a common issue.

    Pretend you believe in god. That's how I discovered it too. But to pretend you have to have a bit of a psychotic mind. Don't get it wrong. I'm not a psychopath or anything. But proving the existence of god is a complex matter and requires a separate way of thinking.

    I was reading your entries in your own post titled worldpeace.
    I very much agree with your political comments regarding 'no currency' and no ownership ( at least I would disallow private ownership of land). Global economic parity or at least a situation where no human alive has to struggle for their basic needs, their education or their medical care from cradle to grave is a very honorable and necessary goal for our species to have.
    We just need the majority of the population of the planet to demand this from the tiny minority who are currently in control. If they won't comply then we WILL most likely have to make them or go extinct trying.
