We'll all be dead when this day comes

ALL YOU NEED IS A MIND OF STEEL; MAKE YOUR WORLD REAL, LIKE I DO

>>2184225
Scientists predict 2050 as the year when both full understanding of the human mind will be gained and a computer more powerful than the human mind will be built.

hold out for another 41 years Croatia, it will be fine.

THIS IS MY RELIGION NOW

I think you're forgetting how much something like that is going to cost.

That's it even if it gets past the law and shunned as a violation of human rights.

>>2184238
And in the 60's they said we'd have it by 2000.

>>2184239
and we're all poor right?
;_;

>>2184209

I got laid recently, it's no big deal. I'd be perfectly happy being a normalfag OR a hikkineetfag, they're both pretty enjoyable in their own ways.

It sure feels singularitarian in here.
You know, there's always a chance for us to ditch the pig disgusting 3D we put up with when the Great Digitalization comes around.

I for one, don't want to be one of those monks trying to gain entry into the upper hiveminds, once the first dozen get uploaded and decide that they won't take any newfags.

>>2184253
yes

>>2184258
She'll suck away all your money in the divorce settlement and with child maintenance. Too many ties to the real world will set people back a long way in your quest to become one of the Englightened Ones.

>>2184253
I'm not talking about small amounts of money that your spoiled ass thrives on.

I'm talking about fucking huge sums of money. Billions. Trillions.

It won't be expensive. If the computer is powerful enough, a mere second of your brain uploaded on it is enough to seem like an eternity.

>>2184274
Maybe an otaku cyber-terrorist will steal the technology and begin uploading all those loyal to the 2nd dimension without the governments consent.
Then they couldn't turn it off either because it would be killing them. The damage would be done.

Learn to lucid dream. Seriously.

>>2184290
Nobody here has the mental discipline required for that.

>>2184290
Trying, and failing miserably.

Could someone post that similar copypasta about gensokyo and yukari?

>>2184209

what's to stop a terrorist from disconnecting the wires and the government 'slipping' when it comes to securing a running connection.

in fact, it might be that angry wife you left behind.

>>2184290

Tried. Was still in pig disgusting 3D.

>>2184304
I'd rather my brain is quietly turned off while I am frolicing with my waifu in the joyous fields of the 2nd dimension than dying old and lonely in the real world.

>>2184290
I'm able to perform lucid dreams, but it's inferior to what virtual reality may offer.

Everybody stop having such wistful dreams and buy a dakimakura.

>>2184305
Actually, I did once LD in 2D, though the only things that were in 2D were people. They even got animu eyes. But the experience was strange, maybe because it was my first time.
Shit, I need to try again. Thanks anon for giving me ideas.

>>2184290
They're better than nothing :)

When I dream I often interact with 2D characters. It's very natural during the dream.

Most of my dreams (like 80% or so) are also lucid to some degree, that is, I know that I am dreaming and have some control over what's going on. But it usually doesn't occur strange to me that I am interacting with 2D characters until after I wake up. The world around me is usually a little blurry or and out of focus unless I focus on something in specific anyway, so cell shaded 2D characters don't look out of place.

Kind of unrelated, but an interesting thing to do if you can lucid dream: A while ago in a dream I was walking down a busy street, and it occurred to me that since I was dreaming everything in the dream must be coming from within my own head, and that therefor it might be interesting to try and examine something in the dream world that I would obviously not have enough knowledge about to recreate accurately. I don't know a lot about cars or car makers, so I checked out the cars stopped at the stoplight and sure enough, instead of actual names like "Ford" or "Honda" or whatever, random words like "Apple Pie" and "Hot Dog" were written on the logos (I guess I was hungry).

>>2184209
I wonder if that'll ever be possible. I mean, wouldn't that just be too great? My life would go from inb4 suicide to super awesome. ;_;

>>2184238
Does that take into account knowledge doubling and the idiocracy effect?

Here's a quote from Ludwig Feuerbach's The Essence of Christianity:

The monks made a vow of chastity to God. They mortified the sexual passion in themselves, but therefore they had in heaven, in the Virgin Mary, the image of woman — an image of love. They could more easily dispense with real woman in proportion as an ideal woman was an object of love to them.

Whenever I think of my waifu I think of this kid with one hand that used to bug me in high school because I had no friends, so he acted like I was inferior to him.
I've tried to get this thought out of my head but every time I try it gets more deeply embedded, it just pisses me off more than anything because I can't have a candlelight dinner with my waifu because this thought keeps popping up in my mind.

Also, I can't sleep dream anymore because they always get mixed with premonitions and make absolutely no sense.

>>2184504
ah crap, we're really modern monks.
Here's to the Loosely Conjoined Order of Anonymous. May we one day reach the bliss of pure love in 2D

>>2184290
I'd sleep 15 hours a day if I could lucid dream. I'd be popping sleeping pills like they were fucking jelly beans.

>>2184520
There is something religious about all this, isn't it? Pure, unconditional love and compassion. Mai waifu.

I wouldn't trust anyone doing something like this.

>>2184566

Amen, bro. Different wifu for me but all's the better anyway, right?

Of course, you can always try bringing the second dimension into the 3rd, seeing as it is a lot easier. See: robotics.

Of course, you need the creator of the original series to get the programming just right.

>>2184581
>Of course, you can always try bringing the second dimension into the 3rd, seeing as it is a lot easier. See: robotics.
Unfortunately it would probably end up falling into Uncanny Valley territory. Better to be safe and save your money in hopes of being alive when cyberbrains/VR/whatever gets invented.

>>2184581
>Of course, you can always try bringing the second dimension into the 3rd, seeing as it is a lot easier. See: robotics.
Your logic seems to be flawed.

>In the future when those who have remained faithful to the 2D world have transferred their minds into a computerised 2-dimensional paradise

What began as a conflict over the transfer of consciousness from flesh to machines escalated into a war which has decimated a million worlds...

>>2184566
We don't know why we are alive.
Many have tried to figure it out, to get some significance out of our lives, and throughout our history some possible answers have come to light. Some resort to religion to give life a higher meaning, the path to attain illumination and commune with the source of all love and wisdom in the universe. There are many ways to call this source, but the goal remains the same. To attain that warm feeling of being loved by something beyond ourselves with no guilt or worries.
Many try to fill this void in their lives by pursuing their fellow people. They try to find perfection in something that is by definition flawed. And so they live on, unhappy and wondering if there is anything else.
As the Order of Anonymous, we dismiss these way. True love can't be achieved in this current form, it must be closer to the perfect idea. So we pursue illumination, so we one day may commune with that unconditional source of love that beckons us from beyond our physical limitations.
This is our path, this is how we find significance to our lives. The flesh is tainted, we must pursue something closer to the Truth.

Sounds like some sort of manifest broadcast as we do some crazy stuff to bring us closer to 2D

>>2184625
ARM is 3d pig disgusting

>>2184623

Let's make a website.

>>2184520
Monks weren't allowed to fap.

>>2184649

The true ones don't fap to their wives. The ones who do are simply 3Ders trying to act like us.

>>2184638
We're Loosely Organized. We don't have a set hierarchy or rules, most of us haven't met each other and never will. You could pass a Brother by in the street and not recognize him. However, our hearts beat as one, more closely joined than any organized religion could hope for.
We shed our tainted flesh to interact properly with each other. Our meetings are fleeting but filled with meaning. We float around just as the ideas that we pursue.
I'm part of the Order of Anonymous, and I have as much authority as any Brother. Will you join me in our path towards illumination, Brother?

>>2184662
I thought the parlance was "brosef" hereabouts, no?

>>2184658
>The true ones don't fap
>don't fap
The religion's only been around for 2 hours and already a splinter group is forming.

>>2184662

Then we are gonna need regular threads in here then. Don't know about joining you guys, but I'm over here on the technical side of things. This damn brain technology doesn't make its self you know!

>>2184649
We are nothing but prisoners to the flesh. As we walk our path towards true love, there will be moments when needs will demand to be satiated and the flesh will tempt us with its warmth. For this, we hold that it is not unclean to calm our desires through any means, as long as our minds remain unpolluted of the ideas of the flesh, filled instead with the perfected images of our goal we wish to attain once. And we know that the true love we seek is beyond the boundaries of mere fornication, and that our rituals are nothing but devices we use to resist until we attain true love.

Holodecks are pretty sweet, but I wouldn't want to live in one.

>>2184676

eh?

>>2184695
Fapping is ok, as long as you're thinking of 2D.
That was just a money grubbing cult, we are something higher.

>>2184512
wat

So, how does I join this "Order of Anonymous"
I want my 71 promised virgins

>>2184729
You'll get a lot more than 71 virgins, believe you me.

No guarantees on their genders, however.

>>2184743

So all the bros and waifus will come together in the 2D paradise, all the clothing will explode, and we'll roll until it's become a single, giant katamari?

>>2184729
Just stay true and reject the false promises of love in this 3D world. Honor your Brothers, as they walk your same thorny path.
We're not alone. You must remember this and offer your Brothers the same solace. That is all it takes. A change of heart, the pursue of something greater than ourselves.

>>2184499
What does any of that have to do with lucid dreaming?

>>2184766
Anyone here who's a drawfag, draw this.

Bit of irony that this song starts playing while I'm reading this thread.

>>2184823

This is the official "waifu kit" that you can bring with you to the monastery:

* The anime, manga or visual novel where your waifu exists. This is the Bible of your waifu.

* Images of Her (screenshots, drawings etc.)

* If possible, a dakimakura

>>2184838
what about a figure?

>>2184838
>>2184842

How 'bout dakimakura or figure, since there are segments of the order that would opt for one or the other.

>>2184857
can't I have both?

>>2184842
That's a dangerous idea, bordering on 3d as it is.

>>2184864

I would think most would only opt for one. There is the non-fap group that would go for the figure, and the fap group for the pillow. Unfortunately there are also the semen on figures group that messes things up.

Maybe a 12'x12' poster?

What do we do about these folks?

>>2184925
Fuck you, how dare you posting lenfried here, get out

>>2184925

Kill them with fire I suppose.

>>2184948
FUCK YOU TOO!

What if we want to give our life for our waifu to avoid their sad fate ?

>>2184512

you laugh, man. it takes insanity to cure insanely recurrent beliefs. laugh like your life depends on it: the future of your mental state hinges on moments like these!

So anyone read DOOM - Endgame by Dafydd ab Hugh and Brad Lineweaver?

Not going to spoil it too much, but lets just say that it fits this topic. (Though you really should read the 3 prior novels first)

Then again Otherland by Tad Williams is pretty spot on too.

And you know that when it has reached books, it is just around the corner for real life! (Just like Star Trek)

>>2185092
I read DOOM - Repercussions of Evil. Close enough?

And I just couldn't get into Otherland, idk why.

>>2185092

I dropped the novels after they said that the enemies were just aliens instead of demons like in the game. What a ripoff.
