    Yes, this is a glimpse into a future of almost certain letdown for those expecting technology to forever advance to new and only dreamed of heights.

    Still, right now at death, you can get your head frozen by a cryogenic outfit if you're that optimistic. Personally, if I knew my end was certainly coming, I'd spend that amount to have a last steak dinner, even if it had to be administered through a tube.

    Hope things improved. The Bombthrower site for Allen's essay is still accessible at this time.

    I can’t wait until somebody hacks Schwab’s and Gates consciousness and deletes them.

    This right here sums it up well “ Tomorrow, it’ll be needle-pocked mutants with blinking devices stuck all over them, who pray to AI for a place in the cloud.”
    Everybody has “religion”. Some just acknowledge it. Be it God, Money, Wokeness, Things, Nature, Science, Self.....everybody worships something.

    it does not have my soul
