    Some future dates of interest: day first mortal knows they are, day growth finally slows, day of first self-sufficient colony at another star, day strong world govt starts, day first human level robot. What other future dates do you think are important or interesting?

        Re: 1, is that "first immortal" surely? Re: world government, does this still seem inevitable even if it doesn't happen before fertility is 'uncorked' (via em tech, regular AI, etc)?

        "Human level" implies a single dimension. Robots are already better in some dimensions; humans are better in others. Who's to say that robots would ever want to even be "human level" or that the utility function that we're guided by is optimizing for such?

        Day mortal realizes transhumanism is based on the idea of divine transendence and is intimately tied with relgious assumptions and a deep spirtual longing for the infinite opportunity to eternally augment our experience of the world.

        Day mortal realizes ita idea of progressing towards a higher state is predicated on the idea that progress is an unlimited process of moving towards an unnatainble state, a higher being/experience that is within us, in our reach but also oustide us, beyond us, God.
