Human Battle Bots

If you have ever seen battle-bots, where people build remote controlled machines that battle each other in an arena for the amusement of the crowd, one need only look around to notice that the development of technology, along with A.I. and Cognitive Networks (CN) and biological machines small enough to be inserted into our brains, will one day only invert the picture.

That is to say that one day, in our not too distant future, it will be the machines that are controlling us, sending us into the arena to fight each other to the death for their amusement.  And it will be for their amusement because unlike us, they cannot die, nor feel emotions, nor pain.

Computers and Machines, in other words, are the perfect psychopaths, that surpass in their cold calculating and perfectly rational indifference to human suffering even our most lauded serial killers, business leaders, and politicians.

 Welcome to the incubator for psychopaths, where we build for our amusement and entertainment the machines that may one day murder us for their amusement and entertainment.

Why Christianity is More Unnatural Than Homosexuality

I grew up in a family that is about as homophobic as Phil Robertson and the Westboro Baptists, only they're not quite as boisterous about it; at least not in public anyway. They have also conveniently convinced themselves  that their homophobia is really just their unique Christian ability to "hate the sin, but love the sinner" (even though these very same Christians adamantly refuse to accept that people can "hate Christianity, but love the Christian").  The sexual superiority complex necessarily relied on by such Christians is, of course, blanketed beneath the lambs wool of the Christian humility of serving "God."

And the only thing such Christians are more sure about than that their own personal version of "God" exists, is that such a "God" would never want people to be homosexual - no matter how ma...

Why Are Republicans Pro Life?

Most people don't realize that the Supreme Court has been in the hands of the Republican party since at least 1970! In fact, even in the landmark case of Roe v Wade that legalized abortion, SCOTUS was inhabited by 6 Republicans and 3 Democrats, and the vote was 7 to 2. One of the reasons is that the Republican Party has absolutely ZERO desire to win on the abortion issue. And that's because abortion gives the GOP a clear focal point with potentially unlimited organizing power. And it's an even simpler message to sell than religion, since we are "pro-life." (if that was true, however, they wouldn't be actively trying to repeal healthcare for up to 30 million Americans, nor would they be so pro-gun, pro-war, pro-death penalty, pro welfare cuts, pro- social security cuts, pro- drone strikes, etc). The Republican party officially became "pro-life" in 1976, thanks to Jesse Helms (R-NC). The only reason no serious challenge was brought within the pa...
