Most of what has been manifested in the world is insane horseshit that is later rationalized, like religion. I don't think manifestation is anything more or less than purely ethological, a function of how the human animal swarms

All progress is an accident that occurred while the unwashed filthy masses weren't paying attention. Whenever they are paying attention they prevent anything good from happening.

We don't need to get to Mars, we need secure mind uploading

What the fuck is Mars going to do but perpetuate all the fundamental problems with the human race?

the fundamental problems human face are ignorance and conflict not sure how mind uploading solves either of these

1. All known forms of ignorance can be trivially resolved 2. Post scarcity economics reduces the need for conflict substantially

1. “all known forms of ignorance” you must see the problem there 2. only recognized conflict- in fact, *forced* mind uploading is just another form of “peace through totalitarianism” killing everyone would be even more effective, if “reducing conflict” is your only telos

A problem that's intrinsic to every alternative is not an argument against any one system. What system can recognize unknown forms of ignorance? What system can recognize unrecognized conflict? This is silly.
