They are both absolutely vital, you can't work with only one.

A lot of it, yeah. Especially science, every step in education you find out that pretty much everything you learnt before was wrong, or at least massively over-simplified. I always found that the best teachers would tell you that, and either point out where to go for the more indepth stuff, or...

Fair Enough, and I didn't mean to suggest it was one person, that would be hugely unlikely.

You know that HIV, at least, did originally come from monkeys. Not necessarily sex but... well, you never know.

My closest decent cinema is in another goddamn country, so forgive me if I dont feel particularly sorry for you :p

No, as far as you are concerned, you walk into a booth, maybe black out for a second, and walk out. As for transhumanism, it has nothing to do with any outside influences, the whole point is humans making humans better through technology, anything from resistance to disease to, well...

To start with, discovering a single gene being the cause of all violent behaviour simply is never going to happen, genetics is far, far more complicated than that. Also, however, I fully support the idea of wholesale genetic engineering, to the point that its my intended career, but even I...

No, the whole point is at the point of replication/destruction, the two entities are identical, same thoughts, experiences, genes, completely identical. Meaning you would go in, and you would come out unchanged. As I said, its no different from deciding to, say turn left instead of right, both...

Thats true, but if only one remains (i.e., you destroy the original body) for all intents and purposes it is you. It's no different than how any descision or environmental change permanently changes a person

I've done nothing that I think I can really be proud of. But then again, I do have very high standards when it comes to this kind of thing, with people like this: http://history.nih.gov/exhibits/nirenberg/images/photos/03_watCrk_pu.jpg Being my aim.

I'll say the same thing as I did last time this thread came up, why the hell would I want to live in the past? Life has pretty much universally improved as time has gone on. The future, on the other hand, maybe. Although I'd much rather be the one making the discoveries, rather than reading...

Both, full on transhumanism for the win! That said I am strongly of the opinion that bio modification will far outstrip anything machines can do eventually (with the possible exception of nanomachines etc., but they're basically organisms anyway), but then, I may be a tad biased, since I've...

Too start with, I dont think versus threads are allowed around here. That said, the problem with your theory is Mercer doesn't 'kick the shit' out of his enemies, he eats them. Even a marvel hero would take their time coming back from that.

I dont post there or anything, but if your interseted in D&D or warhammer and that kind of thing, /tg/ is actually very good, quite slow, though.

I think cheating is utterly reprehensible. That said, however, sleeping with someone else isn't necesarrily cheating, if your both cool with it, then no problem. It's the betrayal thats the problem.
