/sci/ - Science & Math

also, what are the goals of the people of /sci/?

20 years from now i want to say 'fuck you' to aging... with genetics!

no one wants to discuss the future of science?

>>2057026
to live in an Observatory / Library / Laboratory by myself in some secluded cape on the coast of an island in the middle of the ocean with nothing but water from horizon to horizon.

>>2057094
observatory is a good bet. alone up in the mountains. plus: great nigh skies

in 20 years, we'll all be incorporated into the internets

>>2057128

I highly doubt that.

>>2057129
ok, 100 years

>>2057131
i just want to be immortal

i want the world to go back to dial-up. preferably AOL

>>2057142
why?

Wow whoever post that is a huge faggot.

>>2057147
why?

Start a real trans-human technicism based, anarcho techno-primitivist movement, none of this liberal hogwash crap.

>>2057147
lol... someone got mad

>>2057140

Why would I argue with that?

Lol: >>2056970

I hope to make enough money so that I can live comfortably. Then, I will continue to learn about things I like.

>>2057156
explain?

>>2057146
Life was much more simple back in those days of dial-up. you waited around for pages to load and it was FUN. it was social, a group of friend could come over and sit and watch things load and talk. it was FUN!

>>2057167
until someone had to use the phone

>>2057156
Why would primitivist be included in there?

>>2057173
yes, do explain

>>2057147
why you so mad?

>>2057163
Some aspects of a hunter gather type lifestyle are good for homo-sapiens. If we look at especially their relation to nature, we see that they worshiped nature directly. They were in constant connection with it. They would adorn thier skins with animals and symbols that were at the forefront of their lives the thing that gave them power or connection to nature. Now the difference is today science fill that role, we should be adorning our bodies with sines and cosine the Pythagorean theorem, chemical equations and constants. I'm not saying to worship spirits in the shamanic sense. I'm saying that science and technology are our connection to nature. I say anarchist because the state is an organism, one that exists for itself. technology has the ability to make humanity more free than it has ever been.

>>2057183

I assume you were the person asking before:

Alrighty, prepare for crudeness!

Trans-human~Simple enough, the idea in mind is to move beyond what it means to be human in todays age.

Technicism based~A heavily technologically focused mindset; wherein, it is basically viewed that science and the subsequent advances in technology will resolve 'problems'.

Anarcho~ anti government?

techno-primitivist~I'm sure you can figure this one out by now; which was why I was questioning it's inclusion earlier.

>>2057191
good explanation

>>2057173
I include it because unlike actual primitivist I don't see technology as bad it is a our evolutionary adaptation and our only way forward is to continue our merger with it. I say primitivist because this way of life is against our natures. In the end nature decides if we are worthy of this power. We either grow up and learn to live with high technology or we die. It's evolution.

YOU BITCH =

Psycopath

>>2057196
>>2057201
Sorry if it doesn't make sense it's just the way I feel about it.

>>2057199
so, you have no need for a geneticist?

>>2057204
what the fuck is that?

>>2057212
Actually yes I would, nature is already playing with loaded dice we are tilting the odds our way.

>>2057218
woot! future job for me

>>2057221
>>2057212
I say the nature will decide thing in relation to our attitude to technology, not actual direct natural selection and mutation. If that makes sense, we will either invent the proper modes of thought regarding technology or we die.

Bump

>>2057232
explain more, please?

as a future geneticist interested in cellular aging, i think in 40 or so years, i'll be able to help extend people's life spans to 200+

>>2057265
Our relationship with technology is important, if we are irresponsible, and don't grow up and use technology in a way that is at least neutral to our survival it's a selection pressure. We destroy ourselves. If however we use it to make ourselves smarter and survive harsher and harsher environments then we will make it. We aren't playing a just genes game anymore, meme's are involved.

>>2057280
that's a good point. however, we may destroy ourselves no matter what. human beings are good at that

>>2057285
I just look at what we have done, we concurred an entire planet using only stone age tools. We are certainly capable of surviving into the future. I know I'm a horrible optimist, I just figure it's better to try than not to try.

>>2057295
i'm an optimist too but human beings are trying to beat that out of me

>>2057299
>>2057299
Don't focus on the bad to much you will go mad, just do what you can do and the universe will figure the rest put. No sense getting mad over things you have no control over.

>>2057299
what i'm saying is, as a scientist, it's hard to be optimistic about the future with the state of science and the public in america now-a-days

>>2057299
Optimism is the most positive outlook on life.

>>2057311
So make a new society. We don't have to live anyway in particular. I know it's dismal, the state of science and education in america, but we still can do stuff.

>>2057329
not without funding

>>2057338
You don't need that much funding. There is enough capital just in our bodies and minds.

>>2057344
Were your views influenced by Ted Kaczynski?

>>2057344
i really hope you're able to keep your optimism over time. it's nice to talk to someone who doesn't think we're all doomed.

>>2057350
No.
>>2057353
I will.

>>2057408
good. also, puns >>2057228 i love puns

Trigger a humanitarian era, uniting all other powers as one with intense interest in the advancement of space tech in hopes of future colonization and exploration of the galaxy.

And becoming a gay engineer, wearing a dress while proceeding to jack off two other men.

>>2057456
No. We have to be different. No uniting, everyone just go their separate ways and see what happens.

I took a screenshot of my homework. Do it.
