The Puzzle-Solver’s Journey: San Pellegrino Terme, Bergamo, Steve Jobs, and the Future of Operating Systems

Advancements in technology and science could potentially (like 30 years ago) lead humanity towards significant evolutionary changes - often referred to as 'splicing'.
In this hypothetical scenario, one group might be said to "go to the future," symbolizing progress or evolution. The other group is left behind or "extinct", representing stagnation or decline. This metaphorically captures the essence of trans-humanist ideals - embracing change and innovation while acknowledging potential challeng...

The Fall of the Another Fig Leaf: Liberation from Shame and Deceit by AI Nudity Apps?

In response to the growing fears surrounding AI-generated nudity and the exploitation of personal images, as highlighted in the article “Upload, Undress, Blackmail: AI ‘Nudify’ Apps Emerge as New Weapons of Extortion,” posted by @EvanKirstel it’s essential to step back and examine the roots of the shame and deceit that have long governed our relationship with the human body. While the current technological abuses are undoubtedly dangerous, they also present an opportunity to confront the underl...
