What if Transhumanism was an evil plot?
To deliberately end someone's life,
usually to end pain, is called
Euthanasia or Mercy Killing.
There are 4 types: active, passive, indirect and physician assisted suicide.
Are Transhumanism or Euthanasia good ways to move forward for humanity and
mankind?
What makes us human?
Humans are not rational creatures. Our decision making process is complex,
because each of us has a different set of emotional reactions, depending on
our experiences.
Humans have a consciousness, to include any kind of cognition, experience,
feeling or perception
Humans have unique communication skills; we tap into the collective and
individual consciousness
A machine or robot can never have what it takes to be a complete human even
though we keep trying they will only be able to copy or imitate many human aspects.
For example, feeling sad. Guess what?
Google
has invented an AI that can teach itself.
We humans can never become a complete robot, either. Even if AI takes over
the world and wipes out humanity. Scientists refer to this as
AI singularity.
AI singularity does not seem that plausible on a practical level given how
limited AI actually is.
Another reason it's not plausible is that even the stupidist humans will not give them the right to take over legally. Plus, there is little data that suggests that AI can emulate human's ability to respond to certain tasks and put humans at risk
in the future.
The big moral issue with AI is lack of transparency. AI decisions are not
always intelligible to humans. AI is not neutral and AI based decisions are
susceptible to inaccuracies. So discriminatory outcomes and embedded or
inserted bias is inevitable. Surveillance practices for data gathering and
privacy of court users will be a future problem, as well.
The big moral issue with transhumanism is
biohacking. Another flag is that only the rich can do it
Another AI
moral issue
is one of economics. But AI is here and transhumanism is a poor way to cheat death and compete.
Another moral issue with transhumanism is the threat to
human dignity,
Lastly, Euthanasia is a cowardly act. We miss out on God's lessons.
Our body belongs to God. It is His property, not yours. You don’t own it, God does. He created your body, and He expects you to use it the way He intended for it to be used.
Someone who takes their life to escape from the way they feel carries all their feelings with them to the other world, and they have to deal with them there.
Euthanasia is suicide or self murder
Suicide has consequences
Therefore, transhumanism and euthanasia are not good decisions.

Mass Shootings can be stopped, why is nothing being done - procrastination?
Not just Texas shooter, Salvador Ramos, barged through unlocked doors. Fault?
Not just Salvador Ramos had no armed guard obstacle. Fault?
Not just Salvador Ramos had no one doing social media monitoring. Fault?
Not just Salvador Ramos had no technological deterrents. Fault?
Not just Salvador Ramos showed increasingly agressive behavior. but received no psych therapy. Fault?
Not just Salvador Ramos, legally purchased 2 AR-15 rifles from a local federal firearms licensee who defers background check to FBI. Is FBI at fault?
Mass Shootings are a huge issue . .
This problem can easily be solved with just a little common sense song. . .
- Do not fret, but how expensive or difficult would it be to implement entry control equipment like remote controlled door locks and mobile barricades?
- Have emergency plan in place that includes first responders, emergency management staff, and all community partners to identify, prepare, prevent, and effectively respond to an active shooter in a coordinated fashion.
- Social Media monitoring should be a HUGE priority.
- Watch for warning signs and do appropriate intervention to include extreme agression and anger issues
- Add extreme risk laws and effective FBI background checks to elgibility gun requirements
- Establishing and enacting safe, secure gun storage laws
- Stop bullying and cyber bullying.
- Avoid delays - procrastination always does harm OR Procrastination usually results in sorrowful regret (hear procrastination video)
Should gun laws and attitudes favor the gun owner?
If guns were taken away from the average, law-abiding, sane, trained, responsible gun owner, how would that benefit anybody?
A must read: "More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun Control Laws" by John R. Lott Jr. who researched and discovered that guns deter crime.
Furthermore, journalist John Stossel explained, "Criminals don't obey the law. Without the fear of retaliation from victims who might be packing heat, criminals in possession of these (illegal or legal) weapons now have a much easier job. The saying goes, "if guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns."
Stats reveal that guns are used for self-defense 2.5 million times a year. So, having the means of defending oneself is a basic natural right that grows out of the right to life and so many laws interfere with the ability of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves against violent criminals and feel safe.
Even Senator Dianne Feinstein, a gun control advocate, carried a concealed gun when her life was threatened and her home attacked by the New World Liberation Front in the 1970'S.
Where are the softest locations (no guns allowed) near you?
Let’s talk some more …
The majority of school shooters have had some kind of mental health problem or social interaction issue that people noticed. The Parkland shooter was flagged multiple times, yet no one took action. What are the traits?
Schools must have limited points of entry (one, or at most two) that are monitored and controlled by school personnel who can turn people away when needed. School personnel and students should not be able to “cheat” by opening doors for friends or parents or even strangers. Allowing people to enter without authorization, even just to be “nice,” is a huge point of vulnerability. No provision should be made for laziness or convenience.
School or public personnel must have training that must include negotiation and de-escalation skills, nonlethal control techniques, team response drills, and yes, firearms training. This bears emphasis; firearms training must be far more than shooting a few dozen rounds at a local range. Shooting in close proximity to other personnel is the most difficult gun skill to learn—it must be trained and drilled until it becomes an ingrained skill if we are going to depend on a staff-based response capability.

Should laws and attitudes favor the woman or the unborn child?
The Pro Choice side says women should have control of their bodies. But one of the most magnificent creations of God is the remarkably complex human body, which ought to be an object of appreciation and respect.
Pro Lifers say abortion is murder.
Regardless of whether abortion is right or wrong, the topic doesn't belong in politics.
The problem that supporters of Roe v. Wade could never solve: There is no right to abortion in the Constitution. It will probably be overturned soon.
After it's overturned, this will happen
After it's overturned, women will become more responsible..
After it's overturned, men will become more responsible.

Salvation means to be rescued by God from the consequences of our wrongdoing. What, then, must we do to be saved?
We must believe in Jesus. But belief encompasses more than just knowing about Jesus. One must also act on this knowledge, combining faith and trust and acting on it. So salvation also entails repentance – a sincere willingness to radically change our behavior. There is a certain degree of humility that is also required on our part in order to submit to Christ and receive salvation.
Proper fellowship with God cannot happen with unconfessed sin in our lives. Therefore, we need to confess our sins to God as soon as we are aware that we have sinned.
