Voice sounds remarkably like that of my dearly departed friend Dan. Which is probably a coincidence.
Should Transhumanist Abandon the Corporatist Capitalist model?
Posted: 19th May 2013 by Khannea Suntzu in UncategorizedLook, the article and book by Zoltan Istan is just a great story. I recommend buying the book. The basic premise of the book is quite sound – “religious and reactionary US extremists take over the nanny state apparatus of a United States wracked by failure and inadequacy, and crack down in a paroxysm of [...]
Lifting the Lid on the Politics of Climate Change
Posted: 16th May 2013 by Khannea Suntzu in UncategorizedHere’s a nice story. Last year I spent a few days and nights in central San Francisco. I stayed in this hotel, just north of Tenderloin. It was a fairly rough neighborhood, coming from local hobbit ville frame of reference. I liked it all right and I had no issues there. The cops didn’t even [...]
I was always fascinated about those looming black basalt cities of the Flying Polyps. I came across the wikipedia page of these Lovecraftian Monsters, with some mediocre art. I am sure I can do better. The basic premise is that these spectral monstrosities infest planets. They are truly alien, far more alien than most Lovecraftian [...]
Ten Responses to the Technological Unemployment Problem
Posted: 29th April 2013 by Khannea Suntzu in Uncategorized(source) On the internet and in the media there has been growing discussion of technological unemployment. People are increasingly concerned that automation will displace more and more workers—that in fact there might be no turning back at this point. We may be reaching the end of work as we know it.

This is a battle for the soul of humanity
Posted: 27th April 2013 by Khannea Suntzu in UncategorizedHumanity had natural, emergent direction and purpose in the Pleistocene. Direction was determined by very simple selective pressures. Humanity either acted or it died, and life as a result was relatively straightforward … or at least for those who survived. Then the Holocene happened, continental sheet ice melted, waters flooded lowlands and humanity was compressed [...]
In response to this post on KurzweilAI … The realization (which might be either delusional or epiphanous) that we might extend our unique personal identity well beyond the mortality horizon imposed by our biological natures, will be a cruel thing. I am not saying this cruelty is “bad”. When a plane crashes (or in a [...]
So what is this? It is a “small” manifestation of the horrendous pan-galactic life force, “Shub Niggurath“. These are extremely dangerous things, basically hundreds times as deadly as a walking ebola plague weighing two african elephants. It’s a rather cliche manifestation of the morbid imagination of H.P.Lovecraft. These things shamble about in lonely places and [...]
2113 (part two) – Getting stuck in progress
Posted: 11th April 2013 by Khannea Suntzu in UncategorizedIt is the year 2113, and humanity “made it”. It was touch and go there for a while – but the advancing tidal wave of technological progress has swept all things that could be argued problematic aside. There are over two thousand billion acknowledged citizens in the solar system, most of them in the Earth-Moon [...]
The userpics are all lovely and such, but what counts is the message.
The Global Initiative 2045 Conference in New York 2013
Posted: 1st April 2013 by Khannea Suntzu in UncategorizedWe all survived the apocalypse, and now it’s the year 2013. It was touch and go there and even though we lost some of our loved ones in the transition to a new spiritual vibratory state, we are now left to face the future. There are no more excuses. So what paradigm will we look [...]
I can post this on facebook.
The success of modernity is by and large mass-production. The total utility of a society where goods are mass produced (while it doesn’t always produce healthy conditions…) does produce very cheap goods, especially where information technology-based products and sound engineering are involved. The last decades have seen unprecedented societal growth and increase in well-being, precisely [...]
I would ask people to make a minute BitCoin donation here 1N6whkUK5Wg7LzusksDDCcayzGcrTm7aRa To see if the deposit system works quick enough. If you can send me a conformation email, so I can verify.
