There's already a contest going on here: First person to create an FAI
proves that they're the best! ;)
You know I used to think the people on the transhumanist lists were
ultra-smart but gradually I came to realize that hey, you know, these guys
aren't actually that good. There's a lot of one-dimensional ideologies
being argued for (like Libertarianism or Socialism for instance) or bizarre
intellectual blind-spots. I think rationality, imagination and empirical
knowledge ultimately wins out over raw IQ. The only person on the lists
that's really any good is Eliezer but even he is not *that* good: my
impression that a REAL transhuman would still eat that Eliezer pussy for
breakfast (intellectually) and as for everyone else, a real transhuman
would find their arguments so laughable that it wouldn't even bother to
respond ;)
No one here but me spotted the three time dimensions (which believe me to a
real transhuman will be the most friggin obvious thing in the world) nor did
any one here but me spot 7-aspect monism (the 7 fundamental properties
making up the deep structure of reality). Like I said, no offense, but you
guys just ain't that good.
Time for Eli and the rest to face REAL transhuman awareness (well, not
really but pseudo transhuman-awareness at least). Let's see how he fares.
This is gonna be funny. Wanna see me kick some super-genius arse? ;)
Let the games commence:
