[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;32041702]Egad, JC! An explosive device![/QUOTE] What a tragic and unfair turn of fate. He was such a benevolent individual... what a brutally unfitting cause of expiration. I wish I possessed the capability to somehow mitigate this tragedy.

[QUOTE=sltungle;32042407]Don't try to psychoanalyse me! Generally the majority of the physical contact I make with another human being (except for a hug or a handshake (or things like a friendly punch on the shoulder or something) is... well... sex (it's also the one piece of physical contact that has more parts of the body touching than any other form of contact). So... it seems to me that something like sex would be the most drastically changed thing (in terms of physical contact) that you'd experience.[/QUOTE] You need the ability to touch to be able to do most daily tasks, hell tying my shoelace would be an absolute pain in the ass if I could feel touch.
He reminds me of Hugh Darrow.
[QUOTE=Carbo;32042490]Living a normal life Living an immortal life able to do anything at the slightest of ease I think the only reason humans are here is to find out what happens when we die. And experience the highs lows and triumph as normal human life.[/QUOTE] Personally I would like to be immortal to see how humanity progresses through out the centuries. I've already spent much of my young life studying our previous centuries.
Don't fuck with carbo guys, he'll communicate with the spirit world and get some ghosts to haunt your house. He is a shamanist, he has the power. p.s. he is level 80 don't mess
[QUOTE=sltungle;32042288]One of my major concerns about robotic limbs and body parts is that, unless they can be accurately made to replicate the FEEL of a human body things like sex, or simply touching someone you love or care about won't really feel the same anymore. I mean, call me crude but... I love boobies. I'm never gonna fucking deny that. Tits are awesome. I like to squeeze them and play with them when I'm making sweet sweet love to my girlfriend. A cold, metal exterior would completely ruin that for me.[/QUOTE] Fair enough, who doesn't like touching tits? But what if you lost your arms? Wouldn't you rather touch tits with robotic hands then not touch them at all?
Haha, Carbo how stupid are you? If you were blind, I'm sure that the GOING AGAINST ALL HOLY SHAMANISTIC MORALS would seem nice to you.

Exoskeletons are just a step in the right direction. Unlike this [img]http://cache.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/07/HalfMan_450x400-2.jpg[/img]

And experience the highs lows and triumph as normal human life.[/QUOTE] What can you say is actually normal? Normal today wasn't normal fifty years ago, what's normal today will not be normal fifty years from now. Normal in your eyes is abnormal to someone starving to death in Africa. Normal is a massively vague term used by people to justify their situation.

Did I read that right? Exoskeletons that will let soldiers [B]Punch through walls.[/B] Oh man that'll be good. "Watch out. I hear there are soldiers here." "Pff. Even if there was they'd have to go through the front-HURK"
I bet he asked for it.
Dear facepunch stop being biased athiest pricks who think their humble opinion is the greatest fact, I'm sure the only reason you all get so excited about trans humanism is because you want a 20 inch vibrating metal penis or something, so stop acting like it is undoubtedly right and other things are disgustingly wrong.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;32044533]You need the ability to touch to be able to do most daily tasks, hell tying my shoelace would be an absolute pain in the ass if I could feel touch.[/QUOTE] Oh, that's what you meant? I was going under the assumption there would be some form of, at the minimum, rudimentary nervous system. There'd be NO WAY IN HELL I'd get 'augmented' if the limbs would be entirely numb to me. What I meant was, if augmentations became all of the rage and people started replacing large parts of their bodies with robotic pieces touching them would no longer feel the same. I mean, imagine if your girlfriend got augmented legs (and remember, the buttocks are just the 'top end' of the legs; where they meet your body). Suddenly smacking her ass playfully would be a whole lot less fun and a lot more weird. That's what I meant when I said mentioned touching people. Not actually experiencing touch itself, but feeling cold metal instead of soft flesh.
[QUOTE=Carbo;32049808]Dear facepunch stop being biased athiest[/QUOTE] Its spelled atheist. [QUOTE=Carbo;32049808]you want a 20 inch vibrating metal penis or something[/QUOTE] And what if I do? You have a problem with that?

Now shut up. And what the hell is shamanism supposed to be,anyway?

[QUOTE=Carbo;32041874]Oh okay guys, lets take humans and just make them into emotionless shells of metal and circuitry living forever in a virtual hivemind You guys really think this is right?[/QUOTE] Transhumanism is the philosophy of achieving the goal of artificially enhancing the human body's abilities (creating a Post-human), not transferring us into computers.

Spew a bunch of bullshit about what transhumanism is, then when we point out that you are totally misrepresenting it, claim that we're being unreasonable for not agreeing with your simplistic generalizations. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
this is pretty good.
