I don’t get why this take was so much more popular than my post though—like, do people really think that winning the culture war on gender will effect whether we can have a trans humanist future after the singularity? This does not make sense to me.
I’d guess it’s levels of political spam machine derived messaging, scissor-statement-ish stuff. I strong agree’d and strong downvoted your post because of that. I guess mine was sufficiently galaxy brained to dodge the association somewhat? also, like, I’m pitching something to look forward to—a thing to seek, in addition to the normal thing to avoid. and it seems like a lot of the stuff that backs the current disagreements is more obviously solved if you have tech advanced enough to do what I was describing. idk though.
