IS HUMANITY THE BEST OR DANGEROUS?

[Alf]

We must take into account that humans are always to be described in two ways: (1) natural and (2) cultural.

On the one hand, we can speak of a natural history of serenity, by virtue of which man was able to become the cosmopolitan, worldly animal; on the other hand, we can speak of a social (I say: cultural) history of taming, by virtue of which man originally experienced himself as the beings who gather together in order to correspond to the whole. The real history of the clearing - from which a deepened reflection on man beyond humanism must take its starting point - is thus composed of two larger narratives that converge in a common perspective, namely in the exposition of how the sapiens-animal became the sapiens-man. The first of these two narratives gives an account of the adventure of hominization. It reports how in the long periods of pre-human prehistory the viviparous mammal man became a species of early-born beings, which - if one may speak so paradoxically - emerged into their environments with a growing surplus of animal immaturity. This is where the anthropogenetic revolution takes place - the blasting open of biological birth to the act of coming into the world. .... For the fact that man could become the being that is in the world has genre-historical roots that can be indicated by the abysmal concepts of prematurity, neoteny and the chronic animal immaturity of man. One could go so far as to describe man as the being who has failed in his being and remaining an animal. Through his failure as an animal, the indeterminate being falls out of the environment and thus acquires the world in the ontological sense. This extatic coming into the world and this "appropriation" to being are laid into the cradle of man from genus-historical inheritance. If man is in-the-world, then because he belongs to a movement which brings him to the world and exposes him to the world. He is the product of a hyper-birth that turns the infant into a worldling.

It basically doesn't matter who you start with, Encode, one human, or all humans. This was also known in ancient times. But go ahead, please.

I had no idea of your level of knowledge and understanding when I started posting in this thread. As I read through your posts I get a better idea of where you are situated in relation to your original post and the rest of this thread.

Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum, said that "the great reset clears the way for transhumanism."

Horror!

Actually, the "fourth industrial revolution" is just a logical continuation of the Industrial Revolution. So there are actually not four, but only one of them with subtypes. What Klaus Schwab supports, whether intentionally or not, is a communism which by far surpasses even Orwell's descriptions, e.g. also those of the "thought police". Why Schwab himself does not shudder at such statements is no wonder in view of the fact that he, who first studied mechanical engineering and later business administration, but never worked with responsibility, is a bureaucrat. There have always been people with the interest to control all other people 100%. It has always been about power. Also there have always been people with an interest in e.g. technical, economic, political etc. feasibilities and realizations. The ideology that is best suited for the political implementation of transhumanism is egalitarianism (communism), because it wants to achieve the total control of all people through its ideology of equality, the principle of equality, the eternal egalitarianism with permanent terror. And when it is said that Schwab's „ideas ... are not only very popular in the USA“, but „also in China, Japan and South Korea ... with the transhumanist ideas his book contains“, then this also means that in these countries communism is obviously very welcome.

Klaus Schwab has named many aspects that should be fulfilled by 2030, and one of them concerns all Western values, which should then be very strongly restricted or even disappear. Schwab and his people know exactly which values (the Western ones) and thus which people (the Western ones) can become expensive and threatening for them. These people stand in their way in the realization of their goals. The Westerners are too intelligent, too inventive, too achievement-oriented, too entrepreneurial, too success-oriented, too industrious, too rich, too middle-class, too individualistic, too freedom-loving. The globalists, although or because they are also of Western origin, prefer non-Western countries, because with them the globalist goals are much easier, uncomplicated, smoother, more effective, less resistant (less dangerous and at the same time more violent, more warlike, because with violence and war there are always huge profits to be made) and cheaper to achieve.

4.) "You will eat a lot less meat" - meat will be "an occasional treat, not a staple, for the good of the environment and our health."
5.) "A billion people will be displaced by climate change."
6.) "Polluters will have to pay for emitting carbon dioxide. There will be a global price on carbon. This will help make fossil fuels a thing of the past."
7.) "You could be preparing to go to Mars - scientists will have figured out how to stay healthy in space by then."
8.) "Western values will have been strained to their breaking point." - "Checks and balances that underpin our democracies must not be forgotten."

Today the globalists are making the revolution, the permanent one, and the people are being fought as if they were the globalists, the rulers of the world.

Do people sometimes ask the wrong question? or do they sometimes ask the wrong person? Or both? The answer is ‘yes’ to both. There is a small chance that you will receive a useful answer in this case.

Sorry for replying so late. I just don't post that often.

Nietzsche called for and taught transhumanism, and did so very clearly.

Examples:

"I teach you the overman! Man is something that is to be overcome." (Ibid., 1883-1885, p. 8 ).

"Look, I teach you the overman! The overman is the sense of the earth. Your will say: the overman be the sense of the earth!" (Ibid., 1883-1885, p. 8 ).

"Man is something that must be overcome ...." (Ibid., 1883-1885, p. 40).

Do people sometimes ask the wrong question? or do they sometimes ask the wrong person? Or both? The answer is ‘yes’ to both. There is a small chance that you will receive a useful answer in this case.

And you are the only one who knows who asks whom and what in the right way, right?

She did not ask you. And if she did, she would indeed not "receive a useful answer in this case", as you have said.

[encode_decode]

And you are the only one who knows who asks whom and what in the right way, right?

No, I am not.

She did not ask you. And if she did, she would indeed not "receive a useful answer in this case", as you have said.

Correct, she did not ask me. You don't actually know if she would have received a useful answer from me.

I indicated a chance for a useful answer, not a zero chance.

I know it from your previous answers and especially from the fact that you yourself said that she will not "receive a useful answer" from you. Look:
