The Mind of David Pearce Part 1 - Why and how to get rid of suffering
"This talk is about suffering and how to get rid of it. I predict we will abolish suffering throughout the living world. Our descendants will be animated by gradients of genetically preprogrammed well-being that are orders of magnitude richer than today #39;s peak experiences. First, I #39;m going to outline why it #39;s technically feasible to abolish the biological substrates of any kind of unpleasant experience - psychological pain as well as physical pain. Secondly, I #39;m going to argue for the overriding moral urgency of the abolitionist project, whether or not one is any kind of ethical utilitarian. Thirdly, I #39;m going to argue why a revolution in biotechnology means it #39;s going to happen, albeit not nearly as fast as it should." -Transhumanist philosopher David Pearce, abolitionist dot comFrom:AlgeKalipsoViews:1 0ratingsTime:08:58More inEntertainment
