In short; we don’t. Recent studies suggest that the Milky Way has a wobble on the edges of its outer arms like a warped record, and that it may even be bigger than the Andromeda galaxy. Also, we can map out the stars to get a pretty good idea. Other than that, we really don’t know.

Normally r/transhumanism would absorb the blows from these people, like how Jupiter absorbs the asteroids for Earth.

I personally think people who believe that a Singularity event would be a good thing should not reach out. For every receptive person, there is likely at least 10 others who would actively fight it upon learning about it. This means we could end up creating an active anti-Singularity movement. And what good does bringing new people into the fold do? Progress will continue to accelerate regardless of how many cheerleaders it has

We shouldn’t censor people. In fact; we should have room for criticism of progress while also being devout cheerleaders of it.

The culture here is known for being very pro-technology, so luddites are unlikely to come here in the first place

I did a little jig when I found out that Kelly won re-election and that Shelby was retiring. And I guarantee you some higher-ups at NASA popped some Champaign over the news.

There is; it is just extremely small.

Did a large write-up about it on my last account. In short, he is merely ahead of his time. If he succeeded at genetically engineering the kids he would likely be a celebrity today.

Depends on the elite. The ones who work at Silicon Valley will probably try making their own startups that develop and create AGI models, or incorporate this into their own companies. They would do this to get in on the mass profit that this could potentially rake in.

The regular rich elites would be investing a lot of money in the companies who will make AGI and profit off of stock growth.

The congressmen would likely focus on developing their own models and try to block hostile nations like China and Russia from hacking the system. Having an AGI early would lead to ASI early which would be a massive geopolitical advantage.

No I just want less red tape. I want less testing but better testing. Basically less road bumps but making sure the road is safer.

To clarify, this probably isn’t ready to replace animal testing yet, if it ever will be. But the fact that the FDA appears to be looking at ways to streamline the ridiculous process is insanely promising.

LETS GO!!! Removing unnecessary barriers for medicine hitting market is such an underrated but much needed step to accelerating medical research
