Because I don't believe humans need succeeding by machines? You're obviously a Curtis Yarvin / Nick Land megafan. I'm of the opinion that these people are psycopaths and I think most people would agree with my sentiment.

I don’t know either of those people

I know Ray Kurzweil and Ben Goertzel though so maybe start there

I'm familiar with Ray Kurzweil. He's a Luciferian and transhumanist. You're obviously also a Luciferian, since you are so gung-ho about transhumanism, but I suppose you're probably in good company on HN. There are lots of deranged people on this website.

Man I sure am learning a lot about myself from you

Thank you Internet person for all of this wisdom about my life that I didn’t have

Lucifer is an archetype. Transhumanists are all about one-upping God, which is exactly what Lucifer was all about. If you're a Kurzweil devotee, then you're a Luciferian whether you know it / want to admit it or not.

I think the person you're trying to berate is having a good chuckle at your expense.

Cheers :)

Ignorance is bliss. Cheers :)
