you could debate that

2018-09-16 22:11:10 UTC  

communism denies hiearchy is egalitarian it rejects the tribalist collectivism nations stem from

2018-09-16 22:11:14 UTC  

but it's very close to "I will do anything I want cause I can"

2018-09-16 22:11:32 UTC  

I'm not saying actual communism can ever be achieved; it cannot

2018-09-16 22:11:34 UTC  

Communism and Fascism are two different kinds of collectivism

2018-09-16 22:11:38 UTC  

but people are dumb enough to try it

2018-09-16 22:11:50 UTC  

Communism wants gender and racial equality and a denial of hiearchy

2018-09-16 22:11:51 UTC  

same goes for total individualism

2018-09-16 22:12:00 UTC  

while fascism wants a complete hiearchy

2018-09-16 22:12:18 UTC  

again, communism ideally is total collectivism

2018-09-16 22:12:36 UTC  

well, those it considers in its collective

2018-09-16 22:12:36 UTC  

Fascism is not, but it recognizes the importance of components involving collective effort

2018-09-16 22:12:54 UTC  

considering rich people in your own nation aren't part of the collective lmao

2018-09-16 22:13:54 UTC  

Fascism is based on the organic reality of a nation state and the reality of a class based meritocracy within such a collective. These collectives themselves are divided in the world, hence, multiple conflicting and independent nations.

2018-09-16 22:14:32 UTC  

and I think that's an accurate understanding of macro human social relations

2018-09-16 22:15:49 UTC  

agreed

2018-09-17 22:47:53 UTC  

@everyone Daily Questionđź”–

Do you see Transhumanism overall as a benefit or detriment to humanity and why?

2018-09-17 22:48:08 UTC  

Detriment. We'll lose our soul if we become machines.

2018-09-17 22:48:14 UTC  

well

2018-09-17 22:48:16 UTC  
2018-09-17 22:48:20 UTC  

That's quite a broad question

2018-09-17 22:48:20 UTC  

define transhumanism

2018-09-17 22:48:29 UTC  

^

2018-09-17 22:48:38 UTC  

Transhumanism? More like autism

2018-09-17 22:48:38 UTC  

So broad

2018-09-17 22:48:50 UTC  

detriment, b/c it will become a slippery slope to losing our humanity

2018-09-17 22:48:54 UTC  

Are heart monitors transhumanist?

2018-09-17 22:49:08 UTC  

Are fitwatches transhumanist

2018-09-17 22:49:30 UTC  

Transhumanism as in things like genetic engineering, advanced prosthetics, nanomachines, etc

2018-09-17 22:49:36 UTC  

Hmmmmmmmmm

2018-09-17 22:49:40 UTC  

well it could be both

2018-09-17 22:49:45 UTC  

depends how we use it

2018-09-17 22:49:46 UTC  

Am I a cyborg if I have dental fillings?

2018-09-17 22:49:51 UTC  

It's still too broad

2018-09-17 22:49:54 UTC  

^

2018-09-17 22:50:21 UTC  

Detriment, it is likely to cause us to be too uniform in design and expose us to unintended consequences like a disease that exploits the generic modification

2018-09-17 22:50:32 UTC  

Like it's up to the individual that decides how they're going to use their "transhumanism"

2018-09-17 22:50:53 UTC  

Can't really determine whether or not it's detrimental because it's just too broad.

2018-09-17 22:50:59 UTC  

In all seriousness, as with most technological advancements, it will change us, but probably for the better.
