The transhumanists are afraid of dying, so they want to live forever.
There is a fundamental, it's a very ancient, if you don't know this, the world looks like it's spinning out of control for no reason.
When you begin, and you don't have to think about it every day, but when you look at the big picture,
And you can see there's a fundamental struggle between if you want to use the language good and evil, it's a charged language, and I know that.
And that's the language that we're using.
But the denial of our human potential.
And so the best way, what do we do about that, is if the purpose of the evil is to deny our humanness,
in our divinity, we triumph by living the best version of ourselves.
We triumph by imagining freely and sharing ideas and creating.
And don't be afraid to have empathy and sympathy and compassion.
And now you have a benchmark because when something comes up on social media or something, we're asked to do something, we say, well, I don't know if this is a good thing or not.
You ask yourself, does it affirm or does it deny my humanness?
Does it affirm or deny...
My ability to imagine, to create, to love, to forgive, empathy, sympathy, compassion, to share ideas, deep intuition.
Does it affirm or deny those?
And then that will tell you what you need to know.
What you choose after that is up to the individual, but it won't be a blind choice.
And I think this is up for us right now.
Okay, so now evil in technology and the algorithms of social media that are designed to break the social bonds that have always held us together as communities.
And this began right around 2011, I think, was the Occupy movement, and it pitted the rich against the poor, 99% against 1%.
