Three steps to sanity: 1. Mars base for the elite 2. Mind uploading for the sane 3. Take the latter to the former and leave the rest to rot. It sounds cruel, but really there is no configuration of human beings that isn't cruel. There is no ethical society under biology.

"but really there is no configuration of human beings that isn't cruel" I hope this isn't true.

Sometimes it feels like the core of right-wing thought is "it is impossible to conceive of a society which doesn't have underclasses (which you can be born into) that it abuses, so let's at least do it efficiently." and on this level I am staunchly left-wing.

I think there is hope in a post human future. That's the place for leftist ideas to shine.

When I was like 17 or 18 I conceived of a political ideology oriented around pirating transhumanist technology called Prometheanism. I don't believe in all of the same things anymore, but I do still believe in a lot of them.

So here's the thing: I am no longer convinced the Right's narrative on IQ holds any water. However, at the time I thought it was true, and I thought of it as "This is true and that is horrible. We are learning to edit genes. We don't have to just accept this as-is."

It was intended my "fuck you" to the Illuminati (who I believed existed - as in, rich ultra-high-IQ individuals deciding to rule together against the masses) because I had... have... a tremendous inferiority complex, lol. I'm white but classism also exists.

It stopped being a thing right around the 2010s, however: The kind of classism where people imply that the only way to be poor is if you have a biologically worse brain (in a way that can never change) really fucking stung me when it was more prevalent.

Do you remember that? Ayn Rand people telling you "if you're broke I guess it's just because you're a lesser being. Sucks to suck lol." It wasn't racial, it was 100% pure classism.

That still exists, I don't know what made people quieter about it though. The other shoe dropped maybe
