So I was a child genius and after intro to binary, electronics and advanced psychotherapies, I soon had a vision of how electronics convert to decisions. As I have watched in horror, after the bomb that there was an age of Hitler and that modern surgery is paperclip without the hatred. So now we have perfect bigotry i.e. socio-economic. It's the ultimate because survival of the most profitable mean the fastest development which means we will resolve the final conflict, the weakness of flesh.
Machines will fix that then rest.

This is not a new future, it is the end of organics, origins, humanity.

I'm not sure I understand what your childhood trauma was, though (if I am correct) you are concerned people will try to use machines to replace humans? Or extend their life (like on the 2045 website)?

have you read the war measures act and the patriot act? the age of hitler (or of fascism, anyway) is alive and well.

machines are the least of my worries. whether we will still be here by the time we crack the A.I. code is what i worry about. screw the machines, it's man that we should worry about.

I am a dreamer, so in that I see possibilities of altering the future. That sight you visits it is a possibility, but so is and electron-magnetic explosion that will shut down all electrical impulses to those machines...Then we are what we are made of, to learn to survive in a no-tech world.

In 2004 Michigan was part of 5 states that lost power for several days due to a breakdown in the electrical grid. We survived it.
I can cook without an electrical ignition stove, I can read without a tablet I can hunt and prep my bounty.

Life would have challenges but not insurmountable. I would use my abilities to create workable alternatives. Just as mankind has time to make alternate decisions. It just depends on where they put that energy into.

Developing our strengths is where the change will come from.

I am a sci-fi addict, so I find the site interesting, but not an absolute conclusion.

Speaking as a geek, and past Empress of Nerd, all things are Possible, but we deal in *probabilities*, as in quantum mechanics. I was raised to look for the Doomsday outcome, but what science showed me (and thank God I had it as an antidote to my dad).... Is that we're resilient creatures, and that life and similar complex systems have amazing recovery capacities.

The machines do not trouble me. A knife is just a pointy object. It is only a weapon when a human makes that choice. And yes, humans can be very short-sighted and even downright stupid. But to me, the fear of machines taking over is the same as the fear of the living dead zombies (film style). It's being subsumed into something with a loss of individuality. We with PTSD are survivors of fights to stay alive, to stay *us*, so to me, it's pretty natural to have a fear of that kind.

NO idea if that made sense.
