And one day Capital will die too. One day Sol will die too, burning out and sweeping away good and evil alike. Empires fall, seas change; to imagine that something as fragile as a hallucinatory human construct will be eternal is just plain vanity.
If we do not wish to die, the best we can do is evolve and leave our deceased yesterdays behind us.
The folks who think they are "the Singularity" are damn fools. Who represents that group, exactly? Yudowsky trying to promote Alcor's cryogenics tech even though it still doesn't work? Fucking... ELON MUSK?
You know me, you know I abandoned my daydreams of seeing gay luxury space communism in my time. The only path to a bright future now is something humble, something respectful and human. The hollow men trying to use AI and neural nets to capture the future... they ain't it. Innovation which does not respect the sanctity of life and the emotional well-being of everyone is a dead end. Love and cherish your limited corporeal being. Capital will try to take it from you, Capital will tell you that it isn't enough or that you're using it wrong, but that doesn't make Capital any less mortal than you are.
