we should have had a colony on Mars about 20 years ago and should be preparing our mission to Pluto.
That was the plan, Apollo was supposed to be a sustained and expanding program with nuclear rockets following shortly after. Instead we got the space shuttle and billions spent on programs that go nowhere with any cheap or good technology getting discarded or sold as implementing it would cause unemployment in certain key congressional districts.
serious philosophers like David Chalmers find uploading plausible not something that can be taught in public schools?
Assuming you have a public school that teaches anything on philosophy then I don’t think this is a problem.
Can you expand?
The definition for a religion is fairly broad, pretty much if you claim to be a religion and believe the claims that you make then you are considered a religion. So if say SIAI wished to incorporate as a religion I am pretty sure it could and if challenged could point to the meet-up groups, these boards, and the training that it does and probably not even have to go to an appellate court on the issue.
