I think gjm responded pretty effectively so I’m just going to note that it really isn’t helpful if you want to have a dialogue with other humans to spend your time insulting them. It makes them less likely to listen, it makes one less likely to listen one’s self (since one sets up a mental block where it is cognitively unpleasant to admit one was wrong when one was) and makes bystanders who are reading less likely to take your ideas seriously.
By the way Eray, you claimed back last November here that 2018 was a reasonable target for “trans-sapient” entities. Do you still stand by that?
