I agree. it's a Super-Ego problem. I was being funny. I still don't think a desire for immortality is inherent to the Id. The Id doesn't think about stuff like that. If anything, the id wants to enjoy life the most, or escape it's problems. All this angst over potential non-existence definitely seems to be working on a much higher level in the consciousness.
I, apparently controversially, don't think religion is at the heart of this conflict. Many folks in the U.S. (and Canada) seem to wish to interpret the conflict through a religious viewpoint--which I suppose is only to be expected among societies more religious than Israel.
I think we are just semantically stretching sabotabby's rant against some very stupid arguments that start with a position that mass murder is a solution to conflict that has directly killed less than 15,000 people since 1936. Not that the discussion and it's tangents aren't fascinating.
I'm glad I could tell you about Fukuyama. I've been annoyed with him since 1992.
Can the posthumans count on your support against the fans of Jesus the homophobe? I mean, if they hate you for wanting to do what you are capable of with just your god-given biology, wait till they find out about the people who want to splice chlorophyll production into their DNA.
Fukuyama has a super ego!
