We're a very, very long way from solving death and every conceivable solution involves either making a copy and letting the original die, which doesn't solve death at all but simply creates a replacement for the deceased, or requires a Ship of Theseus approach which still has the same issue but smooths out the transition.

Yeah, the Altered Carbon future is a terrifying future I really don’t want to exist.

well; i'ts undoubtedly the case that we're going to have to address some of those issues anyways. and free for everyone? things cost money; it'll take time for it to become that affordable. i'd rather have it i the pipeline and going down in cost.

Jeb endorsing Johnson would be amazing. Imagine if the whole Bush family backed Johnson and actively pushed for him.

It is another subject, but you are talking about extending someone’s live indefinitely and doing so in a free market system. The tech will be available to the wealthy first and allow them to sustain their wealth indefinitely. And their children’s wealth. And so on. It’s a dark, dystopian future if the government doesn’t have a hard lock on that shit.

yeah, it's ognna be a tricky issue to deal with. Of course it depends on the level of immortality involved. Law's always too slow to adapt to new tech too. Personally i'd like to try getting ahead of the curve.

Plot is a strong term for that email, wikilinks.

When someone's campaign's stated intent is to radically transform a party, it is a declaration against what the party currently is. This idea that there was no reason for people to fight Bernie is so stupid. He was trying to overthrow the party the same way Trump did. His language was never aimed at some kinda shift or change, he used the word revolution. The fight happened and he lost. But don't mistake just how wide a scope Bernie declared war on. He was an independent for a reason.

I wish I lived in a world where being an atheist wasn't even an issue in politics.

The party has charter/bylaws which say what they did is against the rules.
In the conduct and management of the affairs and procedures of the Democratic National
Committee, particularly as they apply to the preparation and conduct of
the Presidential nominating process, the Chairperson shall exercise
impartiality and evenhandedness as between the Presidential candidates
and campaigns. The Chairperson shall be responsible for ensuring that the
national officers and staff of the Democratic National Committee
maintain impartiality and evenhandedness during the Democratic Party
Presidential nominating process .

By any reasonable measure she failed to do that.

Gawker talking about respecting peoples privacy...

The fact that the email in question is a reply of "AMEN" to a forwarding of that email with just the text "it's these Jesus thing" is pretty fuckin' weird.

They are a public entity that can be sued in court and will show up. If they harm you, you have legal recourse against Gawker. Wikileaks doesn't care, won't show up and gives no fucked about if they hurt anyone.

One of the few American friends I have on FB just announced they're voting for Gary Johnson because of this rofl

When you lead a revolt against a group of people, openly, do not expect people to sit around doing nothing. Bernie was openly declaring a lot of people would lose their jobs as a result of a revolution. The people who you are trying to throw out of their job will probably seek to limit your effectiveness.

Bernie made a mistake by labeling his campaign as a revolution rather than a movement. Ron Paul did similar labeling in 2012 and that got him in the end
