Wow, tunnel vision in da house!

Why is everyone so obsessed with the (supposed) "racism" bit? It's just a small part of the test, and an even smaller part of the philosophy as a whole (but an integral part of transtopianism's common sense package deal nonetheless).

Ironic how, apparently, most atheists have merely swapped one mindless dogma (Christianity) for another (lefty political correctness). Egalitarianism seems to be their new religion. Guess it has something to do with "shocking" and rebelling against the ("traditionally racist") religious-bourgeois establishment. Kind of like Stockholm Syndrome in reverse. Transhumanism, which has some superficial overlaps with religion, probably gets rejected for pretty much the same reasons; it reminds them of their old enemy, and as a result triggers some kind of Pavlovian reflex. Such a shame.

Everyone should check out their "Non PC" section. It's full of endorsed links to... stormfront. Impressive!

Oh, we've got a lot more than just stormfront (which indeed does host a couple of good articles). Yes, check it out folks, and enlighten yourselves.

Ironic how these transtopians have swapped one mindles dogma (Christianity) for another very similar one...

VII. Survival should always be a major point on one's agenda

The next life is more important than this. Fritter away this life worrying about your immortal soul/transhumanist evolution.

Quote:

XVII culminating in the birth of superhuman intelligence, which in turn will trigger a period of even faster and more profound social and technological change, after which nothing can be reliably conceived

The second coming is imminent

Quote:

XVIII. The best way to survive and benefit from the Singularity is by personally becoming (part of) the (group of) Superintelligence(s) that will trigger it.

To be saved, join this cult and not some other one.

Quote:

XXIII. There are no "rights", only privileges granted by entities with superior mental and/or physical strength.

We have to believe what god says about right and wrong because he is the most powerful.

Quote:

XXVI. ... As Havelock Ellis once put it: "It is the masses; the ignorant, emotional, volatile, superstitious masses;...If truly rational people were a majority rather than a (small) minority, many of today's problems, such as those caused by warped political and religious ideologies, simply wouldn't exist. This is direct proof that the masses are indeed "stupid"

Man is irredeemably corrupt and evil and good things all come from god. [Obviously 'rational' is used here to mean the faithful.]

...yes still suffering from the Christian influence.

Whoever created/agrees with the website you linked to. Obviously smart enough to know some things, but still dumb enough to believe such silly ideas.

do you think you're the Illuminati or something? And no matter how "small a part of the doctorine", ANY racist views automatically invaliate you. By the way, being left wing doesn't neccesarily mean being PC.

and I just made myself look like an utter fool by spelling "invalidate" wrong. Spose that invalidates me too...
