If you were to replace "human race" with "your line", then I'd find it easier to understand. However, let's look at the practicalities. Is it a royal dynasty? Is there a stupendously humungous estate to bequeathe? Do you share a Y-DNA haplogroup that at least 10 million other guys don't also possess? Are you a rare mountain tiger from Siberia? If the answers to all these questions is no, then all you're doing is passing on the struggle of being a captive animal. If you choose to recognise it, there is (now) a gentle breeze bringing some relief from the ignorance of carnality, i.e. AI and transhumanist technologies.
You're going to cause a lot of grief and sadness to the people you leave behind, when you die. You can spare them this, if you're able to upload your consciousness to the internet, so that you're always there for them in cyberspace. Maybe there's time, and you'll be able to do this. But, if you do, you owe it to yourself to adapt your tribal outlook to something more fitting the new world. |

I have tried to share my antinatalist perspective with you. Of course, you don't have to share it. However, if you don't offer any respect, you don't get any respect. |
Huh? Roger Zelazny and Greg Bear are well respected writers, I can't see how either of those can constitute a "dig" unless you consider stories to be of no worth and one can only learn from cold, hard facts
From Eon...
Wikipedia wrote: | Information technology and "virtual" realms are another important theme. While being held as a "guest" of the Hexamon, Vasquez learns more about their culture; she discovers that (if they choose to) its citizens are fitted with implants that can store, transmit and replicate part or of all their memories and personality. This technology confers many abilities. One is that they can create virtual replicas of themselves (known as "partials" or "ghosts") that contain functional parts of their full personality and are able to operate independently, on their behalf, and then reintegrate their experiences with their original later. In the event of major injury or even death, their implants (if recoverable and undamaged) can be used to "reload" their personalities into artificially reconstructed replicas of their old bodies, or even into entirely new forms. However, many of its citizens are limited to only two "reincarnations" before their personalities are stored in the Hexamon's memory, where they continue to exist in virtual form. Hexamon technology is also able to reconstruct the bodies of the humans from 21st century, as the Soviet commander Mirsky discovers—when he is fatally shot in the head by his rivals during a confrontation in one of the libraries, the Stone's automatic defense and repair systems are triggered by this act of violence. The system reconstructs Mirsky's shattered skull and brain and resurrects him, but—because he lacks a Hexamon implant—it cannot recover all of his memories, and other physical and neurological functions can only be partially restored. |

'Have a choice..'
Yes probably that's true to an extent BUT I'd have to churn through the dating apps and then have some tedious dates only to find someone who at best is a bit 'meh' - then I'd have to put in a load of effort to maintain what I imagine will be another bland relationship. I think it's fair to say that most of us on here are not in the broadest sense 'normal people'. By which I mean content with an 1990s new estate house, SUV for the wife, night in with a Dominoes and Netflix on a Saturday night blah, blah, bollocks, shite.
Thus my (our?) target partner group of like-minded odd-balls is pretty small.. No dating app addresses that cos there's no money in it. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

and therein lies the problem, In spite for looking fairly youthful 'for my age', I am largely invisible to to the under 50s, that's not say there aren't any attractive over 50s but any kicking about are mostly deluded romantics which I am most definitely not. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750
