you could debate that
communism denies hiearchy is egalitarian it rejects the tribalist collectivism nations stem from
but it's very close to "I will do anything I want cause I can"
I'm not saying actual communism can ever be achieved; it cannot
Communism and Fascism are two different kinds of collectivism
but people are dumb enough to try it
Communism wants gender and racial equality and a denial of hiearchy
same goes for total individualism
while fascism wants a complete hiearchy
again, communism ideally is total collectivism
well, those it considers in its collective
Fascism is not, but it recognizes the importance of components involving collective effort
considering rich people in your own nation aren't part of the collective lmao
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.
and I think that's an accurate understanding of macro human social relations
agreed
@everyone Daily Questionđź”–
Do you see Transhumanism overall as a benefit or detriment to humanity and why?
Detriment. We'll lose our soul if we become machines.
well
ban @Deleted User
define transhumanism
^
Transhumanism? More like autism
So broad
detriment, b/c it will become a slippery slope to losing our humanity
Are heart monitors transhumanist?
Are fitwatches transhumanist
Transhumanism as in things like genetic engineering, advanced prosthetics, nanomachines, etc
Hmmmmmmmmm
well it could be both
depends how we use it
Am I a cyborg if I have dental fillings?
It's still too broad
^
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
Like it's up to the individual that decides how they're going to use their "transhumanism"
Can't really determine whether or not it's detrimental because it's just too broad.
In all seriousness, as with most technological advancements, it will change us, but probably for the better.
