CYBORGS: NATURAL VS SYNTHETIC

Communism is an incorrect term to use.

The heart of communism has never been realized by any culture. The word has been adopted and exploited by many leaders but never implemented in its true form. Re: Manifesto written by Marx and Engels.

Since the early 1900's the One world government thing has been making marked movement. Here are some off the top of my head.

1. NEA wrote during the 30's, 40's, and 50's that thier role was to prepare future generations for the coming new world order.
2. More recently as President Clinton turned over our National Parks to the UN. The goal is to reduce National Soverneigty.
3. The formation of these Economic Centers of Influence such as NAFTA, EU, Carribbean Basin Initiative, etc... is what the Anti-Christ is said to rule over. There are supposed to be 10 of them.

There are numerous other advances I can cite here shortly if you desire.

As for the Differences between Christianity and other Faiths is significant. It will be difficult to dicuss this with you because you most likely have little foundation to carry an intellectual conversation on this topic.

Quik note: If you were the devil and you knew that you were to get destroyed in the end would you not try to take everything with you? Would you try to confuse everyone and cause mayhem? Take a look at God's word the Bible. It was written over 2000 years by 44 different authors some who never knew of the others works. Yet the message is consistent and has cannonicity. The creator confirms his existence through intelligent design; the Bible and Science merge quite nicely. In Islam, written by one man, the message changes. The others worship cows, elephants, water, earth, sky, and fire. They sound 'good' but lack any credible foundation.

On a finally note, the seven headed beast is symbolic of the seven continents. The naked prostitute that rides on one of the heads symbolizes a World leader who is devoid of morals and principles. This leader sets in motion the events that lead up to the end times. Who in our recent past was like this? Could it be Clinton? No, he just had the prostitute. She was a devil in a Blue Dress.

I would question whether we, in the foreseeable future, could build an *entirely* or even *mostly* artificial being possessing charisma.

1. In order for an artificial creature to possess charisma, I'd argue that there would have to be a base human component (such as the idea of the cyborg). Assuming that we cannot program or artificially construct "charisma," there would presumably be something human in it that possesses charisma to begin with.

2. "The Uncanny Valley"...the idea in robotics that humans respond to and find likeable machines that *slightly* or *generally* resemble humans. Masahiro Moto observed that the more human his machines appeared, the more humans liked them...up to a point. When they become *too* lifelike, humans become turned off. When we create reproductions of humans, through special effects or machines that are *too* close to human in appearance, science has shown that there is a repellant effect generated. In other words, we will find machines appealing that are 40% human-seeming, but be repelled by machines that are 95% human-seeming.

3. It follows that the more human an artificial creation attempts to be, the less appealing other humans will find it after that point is reached. Artificialness decreases charisma in "The Uncanny Valley."

4. So, for a partly-artificial creature to retain its human charisma, I'm assuming that very little modification would be permitted until it crosses into "The Uncanny Valley" and loses its charisma.

So...could we make one smarter, stronger, more resistant? Potentially, someday. But without having that last component of charisma, I think that the chances of such a being becoming a leader using anything other than brute force are pretty slim.

I don't know, man! Is that you typing - or is it the blow?

Are suggesting a half-man half-bee will be the antichrist?

1. You blamed NEA - maybe I have my acronyms wrong but I thought you were blaming Roosevelts economic recovery plans.

2. Show me one cent of money that is being transferred from the UN to any of the designated parks. Perhaps a plaque was paid for. I have visited a Canadian site so designated, and surpise suprise, its all still supported and run by the Canadian government. The UN does not have any say in how the park is run. The program is more like a Nobel prize - the committe sets up a criteria, the governments nominate, and the committee designates the parks if they meet the criteria. Then the local government gets to use the designation to help promote the park.

3. You are incorrect in your assumption about the orgins of NAFTA. If you were correct, why was Mexico not considered in the first round - the Canada US round. And don't think that it was Canada pushing for NAFTA - when the Progressive Conservative Party(republican equivalents) chose their leader, the winner and the runner up were both against free trade. The winner became the Prime Minister(Mulroney), established a close and personal relationship with Reagan, and voila, NAFTA negotiations began. Mexico was considered years later.

My problem with your rant - you dismiss those who haven't the same background as non-intellectual thinkers - thats strikes me as arrogant.

The Golden Rule - in every protestant church I have attended, its do unto others, as you would have them do unto you. It also has its equivalent in virtually every major religion.

Thanx...that was scary.
