>Apparently the forces from the rapid acceleration are way too high to have humans sent into space like this.

So ... send fleshies up there with oldschool rockets, construction material, fuel and water/air are shot up there with a ram accelerator.

Who gives a fuck about normies. Once the herd panics you simply hijack their quorum sensing and throw their warm bodies at the problem. Can't do without expendable Menschenmaterial. :)

To fuck the virgin heavens ... :)

Not sure if that's a pic of my boner or if it is supposed to just give me a boner ...

>>15367904

>Granted, that's a low bar.

Naturally. It does draw from the least common denominator of the fleshies. What a nice little abomination ...

>>15367507

>But how exactly?

Höhöhö ... :)
Tho I agree, all that the current retards are to achieve here will be dead ends, perhaps not even worth a footnote in the flow of things.

>but has the potential to do all the things people write down and refer to as planning

Ehehehe, this! :D

Rite of percussive maintenance? ^^

With a proper brain-machine interface (feasible) a Ghost in the Shell scenario could be very likely. Although keeping up artificial circulation in the brain-in-a-jar could still become a real fucking headache.

Conditional high genetic variability ... insect has genomic mechanisms which allow for heavy and mostly random rearrangement to create many different patterns in its offspring. However, these rearrangement mechanisms are usually suppressed, inactive ... and only activate in a few individuals in each generation. This way new patterns can be adapted while the successful ones are still mostly "fixed" and stably passed on. You gotta think gene pool level here, not "individual" evolution so much ...

Yessss ... :}~<

>but in the end you will get no answer

Would definitely not say so. It is possible.

>It just "is", it is there and here.

Good. With that attitude you might just find it. ;)

>>15357389

>Wut?

Faulty and/or accidental integration into the genome being one reason. Our genetic code is full of fucking transposable elements, HERVs, most of the narrowly suppressed and ready to copy/paste whatever shit you feed into the cell in random positions all over your chromosomes. Introducing foreign genetic material into a cell, especially when done at high dosage or with artificially increased half life is a very silly thing to do.

>>15356553

That might just occur, yes. :)

>>15356981

>hard to satisfy

Pfff, perhaps first get your priorities straight, son. Srsly, you guys mostly suck at life. Might need a good beating now and then to put things into the proper contrast there.

>>15351922

Might this help maybe?

Easy ... :}~<

Never bothered to look for it, so ... but yeah, would be interesting to see that one concluded on a different note. What's the thing here btw, just "cannot be found" or "has been destroyed"?

>>15342730

One of the best movie endings ever. :)

Doesn't wörk without proper watering, no.

They're pretty damn neat, right?

>The best we can do is train the mind to deal with high stress environments. Sort of like how soldiers train themselves for the stress of the battlefield by building up their tolerance to stressful situations.

Yes indeed. Perhaps being a bit too strict here, just that I see people nowadays getting stressed out by situations that by my understanding should at the very worst be a nuisance (like the annoying buzzing of a fly, something that does not affect your capabilities). Susceptibility instead of resistance. Likely the effect of some chronic stress that is allowed to persist in the background (and as mentioned simply "covered" by overstimulation).

>I think this place and some other parts of the internet in particular does this sorta well

Uh huh. Assuming at least if one can "focus" through the overstimulation it does bring ... or at least actively practice to do so.

>The CIA probably tried to do this in the 60s with lsd, but I think it failed.

Given the rather unspecific and crude effect of psychodelics, heh ... likely did land a few lucky hits and created a lot of collateral otherwise.

>You would need a neurolobiologist, and ornithologist who works with corvids, two marine biologists with the focus on dolphins for one and cephalopods the other, an entomologist with the focus on ant behaviour structures, and maybe some more people like an AI expert to spice things up

Wanna assemble a team there? ;)
Cursory literature research might she a bit of light here but it would likely miss the crucial details. Pity that the specialization these days has kind of created a lot of distance between the classical biologist and the geneticist so to speak. Say you need people for this who got their minds both out in the jungle and in the laboratory to use a figure of speech.

>but it's just that there are more than one way to achieve high cognitive ability

Well YOU are certainly right on that! Good argument with the ant colony, well organized, create highly advanced structures ... another general consideration here, most of them are sterile, almost like they're just extentions of the queen's body so to speak. Btw reminds me for some reason of a good book, A Mote in God's Eye by Niven ... in case you don't know it already.

>Sorry if my taxonomy is all over the place, I'm not good at it

Heh, like I myself do still remember all of this ... :)
Dolphins and whales too ofc, although allow me to be lazy here and lump them up as mammals, could be the earliest of our ancestors here did already carry some nascent potentiality here which then "crosses the threshold" in some derived species. Leaves us with the birds ... although don't ask me right now how close their ancestors were to those of the mammals, perhaps this gap can still be bridged. The cephalopods, those would maybe be the most interesting as they are the farthest examples from ourselves and afaik got a much more "distributed" nervous system, also in regards to their camouflage abilities.
