i don''t remember if it was this thread or the prostitution one but it was a pretty strong implicit endorsement of the idea that if two people ~want~ sex that's good enough

Explain the mathematics to me, that's my area of expertise. Also, discipline is studying financialization, so I imagine she probably knows more about the effect your blood money has on humanity than you can begin to suspect.
80k at 9% post-inflation AAR w/ additions of 11.5k (45k*.7-20k) every year will produce an account with ~1M after 20 years. 1M w/ a perpetuity of 2% grants 20k per year, every year, until the stars burn out.

Now here's what you're gonna do. You're gonna calculate the monotonic series that converges on the point (∞) at which you become a worthless counterrevolutionary and revisionist in every sense of the word, completely rejecting even the label 'communist'. k=80,000 btw, and you can only show your work dialectically (which i suspect you are not capable of)

There you have it folks.
Lin Biao: "in the end, the essence of revisionism is the fear of death."

i have been asking for three years now and no one has been able to competently explain why the workers paradise is superior to transhumanism.
pretty much almost everyone here is above your level of competence
transhumanism, in its fantasy manifestation, is fear of death, and thus will end in a much greater disaster than a conception of 'workers' paradise'
the reason why transhumanism is pathetic, is that it rests on that obsessive and weak fear, which drives most cowardly and 'evil' actions. if you mean transhumanism in the sense of aiming at realizing the truth of humanity's potential, and not a baying and baahing of frightened sheep, then there's nothing wrong with it. if you mean it in the popular expression, it is pathetic and will be wiped out by stronger, more truthful people and ideas.
why do you think loser nerds are so obsessed with it? you can't build any strong foundation on fear, i don't care if you personally share that fear. youre hands will be to shakey.
but many people do fear death, and they dream up these ideas to try to defy death, to live forever, but they're weak because of it. nerd "transhumanism" easily fits that. its not just a utopia, but a utopia that opens the possibility of no redemption whatsoever, of eternal laziness.
of course, in the West there's also Nietzsche's overman, and Plato's philosopher king, and Machiavelli's Prince, and endless other variations, so i know a positive, fearless ideal of it is possible. just not the stupid futurist nerd fantasy, that is so far beyond the horizon in a technological sense, not to mention a political, social, and personal sense, that we may as well strive for concrete universal liberation, with the eventual goal of determining our path in such a radical way as to become some sort of 'transhuman'. like, we cant even collectively decide on which retard should run the country into the ground, how are we gonna decide on Immortality? duUHHH
