Looks like I'm in a sci-fi mood today. I just finished reading the Guru and the Pandit transcript of Ken and Andrew's Integral Naked dialogue: Immortality and Enlightenment. (via numinous dawg)
Here's what the dorky a-hole side of mine has to say: Immortality, Enlightenment, Singularity

“The discussion would’ve been more interesting if Ray Kurzweil, and Aubrey De Grey were invited and the four of them went at it on All Quadrants regarding radical life extensions.”
Yeah, I agree with that. I also agree with your overall general point that they were a tad narrow in their discussion. But you know how long Ken can spend on one point! Can’t include everything in a less-than-one-hour conversation!
“Jesus Jones! Do you guys really believe this crap? Don’t you guys think that maybe, just maybe, that technological advancement (including life extensions) IS an expression of the “creative process”? Where’s the fluffy love?”
They pointed that out, Coolness. It’s just that they also pointed out that consciousness evolution (on a large scale) tends to lag behind technological advancement. :)
hehe. got your points. i was just out on a fishing expedition. i’m starting to get bored of fluffy dialogues on the interiors. they had Kurzweil in that issue of WIE, so i was just a tad disappointed that they didn’t take the opportunity to have a more “integral” presentation of life extension technology. my two cents.
Connor MacLeod: How do you fight such a savage?
