Lately, I've been seeing something interesting — valid criticism of the transhumanist project. The concern is decently articulated by the people who are being paid to attack me and other transhumanists, over at The New Atlantis Futurisms blog, funded by the Ethics and Public Policy Center, "dedicated to applying the Judeo-Christian moral tradition to critical issues of public policy". To quote Charles T. Rubin's "What is the Good of Transhumanism?":
While some will use enforcement costs and lack of complete success at enforcing restraint as an argument for removing it altogether, that is an argument that can be judged on its particular merits — even when the risks of enforcement failures are extremely great. The fact that nuclear non-proliferation efforts have not been entirely successful has not yet created a powerful constituency for putting plans for nuclear weapons on the Web, and allowing free sale of the necessary materials. In the event, transhumanists, like "Bioluddites," want to make distinctions between legitimate and illegitimate uses of "œapplied reason," even if as we will see they want to minimize the number of such distinctions because, as we will note later, they see diversity as a good. Of course, those who want to restrict some technological developments likewise look to some notion of the good. This disagreement about goods is the important one, untouched by "Bioluddite" name-calling. The mom-and-apple-pie defense of reason, science and technology one finds in transhumanism is rhetorically useful, within the framework of modern societies which have already bought into this way of looking at the world, to lend a sense of familiarity and necessity to arguments that are designed eventually to lead in very unfamiliar directions. But it is secondary to ideas of what these enterprises are good for, to which we now turn, and ultimately to questions about the foundation on which transhumanist ideas of the good are built.
Yes, "diversity" can be good. But transhumanists have a problem. Diversity is so darn huge, and contains far far more of what would broadly be considered "hideous" than anything beautiful.
I approach the idea of "diversity" from an information theory based perspective. In such a perspective, "diversity" can be achieved by randomly rearranging molecules to achieve a new, unique, "diverse" state. In this view, if absolute freedom to self-modify became possible in a society with sophisticated molecular nanotechnology, then eventually a very large and exotic collective of wireheaded and partially wireheaded beings could emerge. It could be ugly, not beautiful. For a "real-world" example, look at how everyone had great expectations for SecondLife, then it "degenerated" into a haven of porn and nightclubs. While it's debatable whether a world of porn and nightclubs is a bad thing, it's obviously not what many in society would want, and I think that an optimal transhumanist future should be appealing to all, not just a few.
Simplistic libertarian transhumanism simply argues, "anything is possible, and everything should be". Pursued to its logical conclusion, that means that I should be allowed to manufacture a trillion cyborg nematodes filled with botulism toxin and just chill with them. After all, it's my own choice, what right do you have to infringe upon it? The problem is that that cluster of nematodes would become a weapon of mass destruction if launched into stratospheric air currents for worldwide distribution, and programmed to fall in clusters on major cities where they would inject their toxins into targets which they would navigate to via thermal sensing. My unlimited "freedom" could become your unlimited doom, overnight. The same applies to people in space with the ability to anonymously cloak and accelerate asteroids towards ground targets. Any substantial magnification in human capability raises the same "civil rights" issues.
Many transhumanist writings advocate simplistic libertarian transhumanism. I won't bother to list any by name, but they're all around.
A regular commenter here, Sulfur, recently articulated his objection to transhumanism, responding to my recent statement "The latter makes sense, the former doesn't," with regards to solving the flaws of the Homo sapiens default chassis:
The fundamental problem with that sentence is that transhumanists see human body as a problem to solve and they are quick to judge what is needed and what is not. If that would be for them to decide, we already would have done terrible mistakes in augmenting our bodies ("Hell, we don't need so many genes! let's get rid of them!" hype-like attitude). Transhumanism uses imperfect tools to perfect human. That can easily lead to disaster. Besides, the most important issue is not weather small changes correcting some flaws are desirable, needed or wanted, but rather to what extend we can change human and not to commit suicide in ambitious yet funny way thanks to augmentation which would radically change our minds, creating new quality.
It's true — we do see the human body as a problem to solve. After all, the human body can't even withstand 5 psi overpressure without our eardrums exploding, or intercept rifle bullets without severe tissue damage, which I consider unacceptable. Moving more in a mainstream direction, many transhumanists (a small group of less than 5,000 people with mainstream intellectual influence far beyond their numbers) agree that solving aging is a major priority. After all, Darwinian evolution did not have our best interests in mind when it designed us. As far as I am concerned, the question of whether the human body is a problem to be solved is obvious: it is. The question is not whether or not we need to solve it, but how.
The "how" question is where things can get sticky. Most of human existence is not so crime-free and kosher as life in the United States or Western Europe. Business as usual in many places in the world, including the country of my grandparents, Russia, is deeply defined by organized crime, physical intimidation, and other primate antics. The many wealthy, comfortable transhumanists living in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin, Florida, Boston, New York, London, and similar places tend to forget this. The truth is that most of the world is dominated by the radically evil. Increasing our technological capabilities will only magnify that evil many times over.
The answer to this problem lies not in letting every being do whatever they want, which would lead to chaos. There must be regulations and restrictions on enhancement, to coax it along socially beneficial guidelines. This is not the same as advocating socialist politics in the human world. You can be a radical libertarian when it comes to human societies, but advocate "stringent" top-level regulation for a transhumanist world. The reason why is that the space of possibilities opened up by unlimited self-modification of brains and bodies is absolutely huge. Most of these configurations lack value, by any possible definition, even definitions adopted specifically as contrarian positions to try and refute my hypothesis. This space is much larger than we can imagine, and larger than many naive transhumanists choose to imagine. This is especially relevant when it comes to matters of mind, not just the body. Evolution crafted our minds over millions of years to be sane. More than 999,999 out of every 1,000,000 possible modifications to the human mind would be more likely to lead to insanity than improved intelligence or happiness. Transhumanists who don't understand this need to study the human mind and looming technological possibilities more closely. The human mind is precisely configured, the space of choice is not, and ignorant spontaneous choices will lead to insane outcomes.
The problem with transhumanism is that it has become, in some quarters, merely a proxy for the idea of Progress. Progress is all well and good. The problem is that the idea isn't indefinitely extensible. The human world is a small floating platform in a sea of darkness — a design space that we haven't even begun to understand. In most directions lie Monsters, not happiness. Progress within the human regime is one thing, but the posthuman regime is something else entirely. Imagine having First Contact with a quadrillion different alien species simultaneously. That is what we are looking at, with an uncontrolled hard takeoff Singularity. Just one First Contact would be the most significant event in human history, but transhumanists are talking about that times a billion, or a trillion, all at once.
In the comments, Sulfur referenced the "transhumanist mindset which says that upward change is a dogma". But there is a portion of transhumanists who resist that dogma. Take Nick Bostrom's "The Future of Human Evolution" paper, very popular among SIAI staff. I believe that Bostrom's 2004 publication of this paper was a ground-breaking moment for transhumanism, definitive of a schism that has been ongoing since. The schism is between those who see transhumanism as unqualifiedly good and those who see humanity's self-enhancement as a challenging project that demands close attention and care. Here's the abstract:
Evolutionary development is sometimes thought of as exhibiting an inexorable trend towards higher, more complex, and normatively worthwhile forms of life. This paper explores some dystopian scenarios where freewheeling evolutionary developments, while continuing to produce complex and intelligent forms of organization, lead to the gradual elimination of all forms of being that we care about. We then consider how such catastrophic outcomes could be avoided and argue that under certain conditions the only possible remedy would be a globally coordinated policy to control human evolution by modifying the fitness function of future intelligent life forms.
I am strongly magnetized to the Singularity Institute, Future of Humanity Institute, and Lifeboat Foundation, because I see these three organizations as the cautious side of transhumanism, exemplified by the concerns aired in the above paper. Many other iterations of transhumanism seem to be awkward fusions between SL2 transhumanism and the boilerplate leftist or rightist politics of the Baby Boomer generation. Though even our new President is attempting to engage in post-Boomer politics, the USA Boomer Politics War is so huge that it sucks in practically everything else. It's pathetic when transhumanists can't be intellectually strong enough to transcend that. Really, it is a generational war.
As somewhat of a side note, people misunderstand the SIAI position with respect to this question. SIAI seeks not to impose a superintelligent regime on the world, but rather asks, "given that we believe a hard takeoff is likely, what the heck can we do to preserve Human Value, or structures at least continuous with human value?" The question is not easy, and people often misinterpret the probability assessment of a fast transition as a desire for a fast transition. I would desire nothing more than a slow transition. I just don't think that the transition from Homo sapiens to recursive self-improvement will be very slow. Still, even if it's fast, value can probably be retained, if we allocate significant resources and attention to specifically doing so.
I believe that there can be a self-enhancement path that everyone can agree on as beneficial. I think there is enough room in the universe to hold diverse values, but not exponentially diverse in the information theory sense. I doubt that intelligent species throughout the multiverse retain their legacy forms as they spread across the cosmos. Inventing and mastering the technologies of self-modification is not optional for intelligent civilizations — it's a must. The question is what we use them for, and whether we let society degenerate into a mess of a million of shattered fragments in the process.

Brian Scalabrine averaged 3.1 points and 2 rebounds in 13 minutes during his 11-year NBA career — numbers just low enough to lead some people to believe they could take on an NBA bench warmer. Naturally, the now-retired Scalabrine grew tired of such notions, so he sent out a casting call to Boston-area ballers in an effort to silence the haters. After poring through YouTube audition tapes, he found four victims to participate in his 1-on-1 Scallenge (games to 11, scoring by ones and twos), and the result wasn't pretty: two shutouts and two 11-3 blowouts. So what have we learned? Don't mess with the White Mamba, either on the court, or on Twitter. [CBSBoston] Article found on: Cosby Sweaters

Although the New England School of Communications (NESCom) offers degrees in video production, multimedia, journalism and photography, audio engineering is its largest program. The audio department at the four-year college in Bangor, ME, boasts six control rooms stocked with real-world gear. Students use the studios through a sequence of 12 classes, culminating in a senior project involving a full-blown album recording project.
NESCom provides its students with access to more than 150 microphones, everything from "the sublime to the ridiculous," in the words of David MacLaughlin, the school's executive director of audio. After encountering Crowley and Tripp at an AES show, two of the company's ribbon microphones were recently added to the school's inventory.
"One of the downsides of our current digital technology is that it tends to be very bright. There's something to be said about the warmth and deep tone of a ribbon mic that you just can't get with anything else. In many ways, they translate to digital formats more favorably than condensers, whose bright, crisp sound tends to enhance digital edginess," MacLaughlin said.
"What students learn with the Crowley and Tripp is how to get that really warm textured sound that they hear on classic recordings," he said. "When the students first hear it, they say, 'Oh, that's how it's done!' It's interesting to see that realization after they've dogmatically put up the same microphone they always put up for vocals." The Crowley and Tripp Studio Vocalist has since become a favorite for vocals, especially when paired with a tube preamp like a Tube Tech or a Manley.
NESCom also purchased a Naked Eye model. Students have used it on guitar, vocals, horns and drums, taking advantage of its bright side/dark side topology to capture the right timbre for a track without resorting to EQ.
MacLaughlin and his colleagues continually prod their students to try new things and break the knee-jerk habits they might otherwise fall into. "The students have their favorite mics," MacLaughlin said, "and they're used to the way they sound. When we put a Studio Vocalist up against, say, a Neumann U 87, they instantly hear the difference. They get it. Not to say a U 87 is a bad mic — it's fabulous — but there's an obvious difference that will make the Studio Vocalist better in some situations and the U 87 better in other situations."

Respond to Review of Backyard Bowls
by earthville
Review: There's a lot to appreciate about Backyard Bowls. It serves tasty, healthful food with original recipes. It makes a commendable effort to be ecologically sustainable. A significant portion of its ingredients are organic (and they're clearly marked on the menu). The prices are fair considering the ingredients. And there's no meat. The concept behind the menu is so unusual (and rather narrow) that i'd expect it would have a niche appeal, but when we showed up at lunch time the place was packed with a short line waiting to order, so it seems they're finding favor. One thing to know before you go is that there's almost nothing hot on the menu (other than the "hot quinoa bowl" and maybe 1 or 2 others), and in fact most of the bowls are icy cold due to the frozen açaÃi that is the star ingredient at Backyard Bowls. We were shivering after our lunch and had to stand out in the sun for a while to get warm again. We both would be tempted to go much more frequently if there were more hot (or at least room temperature) items on the menu. VEGANS BEWARE: Another thing to know is that nearly every dish has honey in two forms: the granola they use is made with honey, and they put a few squirts of honey on top. We specifically ordered our bowls "vegan, without granola or honey," and they were kind enough to offer to give us crushed almonds in place of granola, but after all that my bowl still got a squirt of honey, to my chagrin. Perhaps this might've been due to the essentially fast-food assembly line nature of the place, and maybe also because the restaurant is relatively young and may not have worked out all the kinks yet. One would hope that proper training of the staff in regard to managing special orders would eliminate this kind of problem in the future. Vegans should also note that some of the items contain yogurt. In general, the fact that virtually none of the items are vegan without making a special order (which may or may not be executed correctly) is a bit unappealing; hopefully this will also be corrected in the future as the menu expands. More completely vegan items would be a very welcome addition. Those who favor raw food would likely be in heaven here (provided your body tolerates the cold açai), but to others it might seem more like a glorified smoothie joint, since the focus of the menu is essentially very thick smoothies served in a bowl with fresh fruit and toppings. Meal or dessert? You decide. We hope they succeed and evolve!

how much freon do I put end. low side?
I have a 2001 Dodge diesel 2500 4x4. my low side reads 40, but still not blowing cold enough to keep the windows up. any help?
By the way, welcome to the forum! Please introduce yourself in the Newbie Section: http://www.ramforumz.com/forumdisplay.php?f=8. Enjoy the site!
well, for 3 years I have had it re-charged for $125 each time, so from now on I just want to go buy the $8 can, and put it in myself.
first of all you put in r-134a not freon (r-22) and if you have gauges you can just take all of it out and you can either go get a can at your local supply house or put in 7oz if you have a jug of 134a i just recharged my service van i do hvac for work
perfect. I didnt think about taking out any old. I appreciate the info. I will go do that now.
I meant r-134a, I just wrote freon
Thanks again. is it only 7oz. or do I need to measure the lowside pressure to a certain gauge?
I hate to rain on anyone's parade, but releasing even r-134a refrigerant into atmosphere is still not acceptable. You should have this reclaimed from the system using a reclaimer and then vacuum the system down to 500microns before attempting to recharge. Just the fact that you have had this system recharged 3 times tells me that it is in need of service and that the shop you have taken it to has not done their job properly and repaired the leak. Get the leak fixed first and then recharge your system!

I thought the newest edition of Gossip Girl
was good. It started off a little slow for me in
the beginning, but once I got further into the
story, I couldn't put it down. With the ending, I
can't wait till the next one comes out. I have a
feeling that there will be another juicy
storyline with Blair and Nate, who are my
favorite characters. All the other storylines
were pretty interesting as well. Gossip Girl does
not fail to meet expectations once again. I
really can't imagine this series ending.

Creativity can be anything from an art piece, to a written work, to a new business idea. What ties the concept together, in all cases, is that it is an outward translation of something within ourselves.

Previewing NBA's Christmas Day tip-off
Dec 23, 2011, 1:19 PM EDT
Time to unwrap the present of an NBA season — and just like the gifts under the tree there may be some assembly required. Condensed training camps and just two preseason games is going to mean some sloppy openers on Christmas day. But they are games, which are vastly superior to antitrust lawsuits. So let's…
Howard says relationship with Van Gundy "needs to grow"
Dec 23, 2011, 11:58 AM EDT
Dwight Howard and Stan Van Gundy sat down and talked for over an hour not long after training camps opened, and you can bet the topic was not the best way to brine a turkey before cooking it on Christmas. Their relationship is going to impact the Magic on the court and ultimately if Howard…
Video: Derek Fisher, Matt Barnes on stage with 50 Cent
Dec 23, 2011, 11:38 AM EDT
50 Cent was on FOX's X-Factor last night, which I am sure you watched live, but we bring you the highlights anyway. So many things to love about this video. Like who knew that Derek Fisher and 50 Cent were "good friends?" Is Fisher a closet gangsta? If so you would think the players would…

New name, same drill. This is our morning look around the NBA — links to stories worth reading and notes to check out (stuff that did not get its own post here at PBT). Snoop Dogg is no Pau Gasol fan. (Language NSFW or family Christmas gatherings. The spelling is bad, too.) A really fascinating…
Rose, Durant go different path with contracts than LeBron
Dec 23, 2011, 11:01 AM EDT
When LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade came up for contract extensions, they all asked for three-year deals, or options that let them opt out of their deals after three years. The idea was simple — gain leverage over the team, pressure them to build a winner or they could lose their star. (We…
Stephen Jackson has bone spurs in his back. That's gonna hurt.
Dec 23, 2011, 9:52 AM EDT
Stephen Jackson wants a contract extension — he wants two years tacked on to the two he's got. Turns out that's not why he went missing from Bucks training camp for a few days, however. What doctors found were bone spurs in his back and more, according to the Journal Times. Asked specifically about his…
It's official: Kings to sign Chuck Hayes. Again.
Dec 23, 2011, 9:05 AM EDT
UPDATE 9:05 am: It's official, the Kings have reached terms with Chuck Hayes, who is back with the team. The important thing in all this is that Hayes is healthy, that whatever the issue was could be treated and dealt with. Now we can get back to watching him ball and seeing how he pairs…

Nets trade for Mehmet Okur to fill in for injured Lopez
Dec 22, 2011, 8:59 PM EDT
The Nets have landed a player Deron Williams is familiar with. New Jersey traded for Mehmet Okur, bringing in the Turkish big man to fill in for the injured Brook Lopez. The Jazz get a second round pick and a trade exception out of the deal — and they get $10.9 million off the books.…

Video: Watch LeBron airball a free throw

Environment: Content from Across the ABC
05 Jul 2015 12:01:50am
Thanks for the post Sarah. I was only just reading this article late last week - Buying Experiences, Not Possessions, Lead to Greater Happiness (http://goo.gl/acoJU).
I am currently developing a peer-to-peer rental site with my partner. Our vision is to create a secure and reliable community marketplace that will help Australians live a more resourceful and sustainable life.
www.openshed.com.au will go live in October 2011 and will be the place for Australians to rent each other's stuff with confidence. Our site will help Australians:
•make better use of their stuff (and a little extra cash) by renting out their stuff to people in their community.
•rent instead of buying ("Everything you want, but don't need to own. Rent it. Use it. Return it.")
•experience things they might not otherwise experience – you don't need to own 'stuff' to experience it
•try before they buy
•live a more sustainable life, and
•build new or strengthen existing community connections

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau wants to hear from you
Corinne Cooper wants something done about insurers raising homeowners' premiums based on credit scores. Robert Kane advocates for more protections when consumers deal with cellphone and Internet providers. And Shane Algarin recommends making it harder for thieves to use stolen credit cards.
These are some of the hundreds of suggestions pouring into the new federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. It is still setting up, but it launched a website (consumerfinance.gov) in early February to gather consumers' input and is reaching out to them on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, too.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created by last year's Wall Street reform law. It will take over consumer protection duties from seven government agencies, including the Federal Reserve and Office of Thrift Supervision, on July 21.
For too long, consumer protection has been split among many agencies, and it wasn't always their prime concern. Sometimes consumer protection even could be in conflict with an agency's role. If your mission is maintaining the safety and soundness of banks, can you truly advocate for pro-consumer practices that could erode lenders' profits?
The bureau will have the power to write regulations and enforce federal consumer laws. This is scary to many businesses, whose supporters in Congress are trying to weaken the agency before it gets started.
But if you have ever been burned by unfair credit terms or deceived by a lender, this is your agency. And one of the best ways to support it is to make useful recommendations on problems it should tackle.
And the bureau is encouraging consumers to engage via social media.
"The CFPB's initial online efforts are focused on engaging the American people early in the process of building the consumer bureau and setting its first priorities," said Jen Howard, the bureau's spokeswoman.
As of March 1, the bureau had received 300 complaints, about half of them about mortgages and home loans. Additionally, consumers have made nearly 1,000 suggestions.
Some issues raised by consumers, such as legalese in credit card agreements, are addressed by bureau staffers via YouTube videos.
"It looks to me (like) they are connecting with people and are being responsive," said J.D. Roth, editor of GetRichSlowly.org, a personal finance blog.
Roth also gives the bureau kudos for letting critics weigh in.
Other government agencies are trying to figure out how to use social media but are constrained by privacy or homeland security issues. That makes the bureau's embrace of social media unusual for a government agency.
But the effort will be successful in the long run only if the bureau can keep the conversation going. So, get in on the conversation.
And help the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau do its job.

Ever since Jadeveon Clowney turned Michigan running back Vincent Smith into mush at the Outback Bowl, the South Carolina defensive end has been widely assumed to be the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. Not so fast, my friend, according to one respected observer. Yahoo! Sports' Frank Schwab still loves Clowney, as pretty much everybody does, but he finds it hard to believe the quarterback-needy Jaguars would be able to pass on Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater if Jacksonville has the first pick. That's not a knock on Clowney. It's just the reality of the NFL, where a franchise quarterback is more valuable than a franchise pass-rusher. "Bridgewater, a fantastic pocket passer, has 752 yards, nine touchdowns and one interception, with a 76.7 completion percentage," Schwab writes. "Scoff at the competition, but his early-season work is just reinforcing what we knew already." The biggest winner in this whole deal could be the Oakland Raiders, who would have an easy decision to make at No. 2. "Whoever gets the second pick might be relieved," Schwab writes. "You can't be second-guessed when you have the No. 2 pick in this draft. Just pick whoever doesn't go first, and avoid the debate." Filed under: Headlines, NESN Staff, NFL
