Oldest Man Alive - Born in 1896

Bunch of fucking Pollyannas, you lot. The future is a boot smashing a human face, forever. It's flooded coastlines, Soylent Green, Victory Gin, and the 10 Minute Hate. This is the best it's ever going to be, so enjoy it while you can.

--amen, now stop bogarting the joint gramps.

[laklak]

Pipe, dude. Fucking arthritic fingers can't roll a decent doobie these days.

[Sean Hayden]

Now I just feel guilty, thanks a lot man.

[laklak]

I can still smoke one, so pass that fucker over.

I'm hip to your jive Daddy-O.

Given I was the first to mention it, I can't see how it's an equivocation.

It sounds like equivocation because you were predicting conscious machines and consciousness uploads but then said it was about interfacing with machines - like we're doing now.

No I didn't. YOU mentioned transhumanism, which is why I asked your opinion on humans interfacing with machines.

Ok, thanks for the English translation.

It was always English. But I'm more than happy to school you wherever your comprehension of English falters and you can't be bothered to go to the dictionary yourself.

It was more about your use of difficult phraseology, presumably to distract from the fact that you couldn't back up your own assertion.

Why do you think it is bunkum?

Perhaps we should start a fresh thread on it, but what Ani said.

Yep, looks like you can't back up your own assertion. I replied to Ani addressing his points. Why don't you have a crack at them? Don't forget to use some impenetrable language and rhetorical questions to divert from the fact that you've largely got nothing to contribute on the matter.

Also, she added - the colour in our world is a huge change. Clothes were drab and conservative, Bright colours except in nature were rare. Colour is everywhere now. She says as far as she is concerned for the most part the world is a far better place today than it was then.

That's an interesting one I hadn't thought of. Although, I suspect in places like India for example that they have been colourful for a very long time.
