A "Transhumanist"?!

Apologies, I forgot to reply to this post.

For sure, glad to find similar and provocative minds! I've never really used Skype. Maybe just PM or something?

That would be just fine. Please do.

And Skype is worth getting, even just for the instant messaging. I don't have a camera and I rarely use voice, it's mostly just IMing.

Haha yeah, she's my current go-to example of a ridiculously beautiful woman. I dunno if you ever saw the "Blurred Lines" music video, but she was the brunette from that. Protip: there is also a version where she is topless.

Ah that's where I've seen her... not a fan of the song or the vid but I might check out the topless version just to see her topless.

Not at all.

I see what you are saying about the fatalism, though. A lot of people hear about determinism and immediately think, "well then I would just stay on the couch all day", not understanding that deterministically, they would not actually want to do that.

Also, you hear this "choose to believe it" argument from Christians a lot. Recently some woman kept telling me I could just choose to believe in Jesus. I could only insist that if I did that, I would be lying.

I completely agree.
