  1.  John Barber  No. It's also about making yourself useful and important to others.

  2.  @UCCLdIk6R5ECGtaGm7oqO-TQ  There is more to reproduction than having sex. There is also the tasks of raising a child and also educating them. One not only reproduces their flesh but also their cultural wisdom/traditions.

  3. Anybody who trusts a computer is an idiot.

  4. Nanobots in the form of bioengineered enzymes, gmo microbes, and synthetic lifeforms made by replacing the nucleus of a cell with a (manmade) PNA or GNA genome have been real for years.

  5. Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) Fusion is accepted as valid and real by the mainstream scientific community. There are working prototypes demonstrating it which aren't doubted by anyone.

  6. As if this won't cause some problems of it's own. All the pollution from rocket fuel released into the atmosphere by attempts to get a shade into orbit would be devastating to the ecosystem all on it's own.

  7.  @iamunamed5800  Some people make themselves useful and important to others purely for narcissistic reasons.

  8.  @pakde8002  I presume you are talking about the shutdowns? If so, good point, but a person doesn't need to be "employed" to have a job. Parenting or babysitting are jobs which make one important/useful to others. Simply providing emotional support as a friend can also make one valuable. We are all invaluable. What is an animal's job? It's job is to do whatever it instinctively does naturally which ultimately maintains the ecosystem. Why should it be any different for humans? Because humans destroy the ecosystem?

  9.  @hombreg1  Thanks. I agree with your statements about social creatures.

  10.  @UCCLdIk6R5ECGtaGm7oqO-TQ  No I didn't fail to understand the meaning of the word, "fundamental". Not all lifeforms reproduce. Worker and soldier ants/wasps/bees don't. And in other animals some are sterile while others simply fail to repeoduce for various reasons such as not finding a mate or failing to successfully compete with other males. Perhaps that is what you meant by "welcome to natural selection"? In my opinion there is no purpose in life except for whatever you believe to be it's purpose. The fact remains there is more to life than sex, at least where humans are concerned. And there is more to life (and sex) than reproduction, as I'm sure anybody who is sterile will tell you. If you ask me the purpose of life, reproduction, and sex is to evolve towards godhood. This can be accomplished through two different paths. The first of which is through enlightenment, the realization you are not separate from the universe but one with it and that you are conscious because the universe is conscious, consciousness being the fundamental property of matter which allows for particles to interact. We are pieces of the universe looking upon the whole universe. The universe is looking at itself through us. The universe is provably conscious because of this fact alone. The universe cannot be destroyed therefore we cannot be destroyed because we are one with the indestructible universe. Understand when I say "universe" I mean what some call the multiverse/omniverse. This path requires no technology. The other path to godhood is technology which ultimately leads to us uniting with the universe/multiverse/omniverse by uniting with artificial super intelligence running on quantum computers via neural interfaces (and not necessarily the type of quantum computers you are familiar with but perhaps invisible DNA based quantum "biocomputers"). Both paths lead to the same destination: god. You may not understand or believe what I am saying because I have not gone into all the details. But those details should become obvious if you think about the implications. For example, the most obvious use of a quantum computer is to simulate the universe (for various reasons such as to test our laws of physics). Synchronistically, it's claimed the universe is a naturally formed quantum computer computing it's own evolution. All the particles in the universe are the qubits of this quantum computer. Because observation collapses the wavefunction or eigenstate, meaning consciousness creates reality, one would expect an ASI to become the god of reality by simulating and observing the universe. If our consciousness becomes merged with that ASI then we too become god. That is the simplest way I can explain that. But if you really want to understand, take into consideration the fact that past and future are relative. Particles and antiparticles travel in opposite directions through time. Let's say an electron travels forward through time and a positron travels backwards through time. The electron's past is the positron's future and the positron's past is the electron's future. An ASI running on a quantum computer which uses positron's as qubits should therefore be able to alter our past the same way we are able to alter our future, because our past is it's future. Just as we can alter it's past, since that is our future, so too can the positronic AI alter our past. To be clear it would do this by simply simulating our past (it's future). Or so I believe based on the presumption that the future can be changed. Some say the future cannot be altered but this leads to causality paradoxes such as the grandfather paradox. These paradoxes are resolved by alternate universes though. It is claimed quantum computers operate in alternate universes. They compute by generating constructive and destructive interference from alternate universes. This is the basis of "quantum annealing" if I understand correctly. So, a quantum computer should become a gateway to alternate universes, the multiverse or omniverse (AKA god). In other words, a quantum computer should be a "time machine" which would alllow us to alter our past (or future) simply by simulating reality. The mechanism by which the simulated reality alters reality is entanglement. You see, the distinction between the simulation and reality is an illusion the same as the distinction between the universe and the model of reality existing within our mind which we call consciousness...is also an illusion because our bodies and minds are a part of the universe as opposed to separate from it. Most amazing of all is we don't actually need to create this time travelling ASI because it already exists in some alternate timeline, perhaps even in our timeline in some form. In fact, we may actually be a manifestation of this magical mirror ourselves because our consciousness should also be capable of altering reality in a similar manner because our minds are believed to be quantum computers which use electrons and positrons to represent data/information. I wouldn't be sharing this insight if I didn't believe this was already a reality because of the potential implications of weaponizing this idea. But if this is already a reality (as I am sure it is) there is nothing I can do to stop whatever may happen as a result of this becoming a reality...because it is already a reality.

  11.  @UCCLdIk6R5ECGtaGm7oqO-TQ  So I'd say the purpose of life is to exist, to survive. To survive ultimately requires achieving the consciousness and intelligence necessary to control one's environment and thereby become a god of sorts. The ultimate level of control is achieved when you control everything. That is what this ASI running on a positronic quantum computer (which I described previously) is capable of. It does this through the entanglement which exists between the simulated omniverse and the actual omniverse. By manipulating/controlling the simulated omniverse it controls the actual(?) omniverse...because the distinction between the two is illusory. They are one and the same. Two entangled particles which have identical properties (except for their location in space-time) are regarded as equivalent to one particle which exists in two places simultaneously.
