Given the choice between having children the normal way and raising your own clone, which would you choose? 03:50 < BioGuy> ROFL @ foucist 03:50 < BioGuy> i definitely wouldn't want to raise my clone 03:51 < exiff> Why not? It/you get to inherit everything you've worked for in life. 03:54 < BioGuy> What do yo mean? 03:56 < exiff> When you... 03:56 < exiff> If you die, you're gonna leave an estate behind.. 03:56 < exiff> Someone has to inherit it. 03:57 < foucist> easier to live through your own clone vicariously 03:57 < exiff> You could have your own dynasty. 03:58 < foucist> exiff: its' a slippery slope though, you don't want to end up with a stupid ass clone society 03:59 < BioGuy> what would be the difference if you left things to your clone or a natural child?

Negating the need for sex. 04:07 < strangewarp> If we're resorting to the naturalism of revering the instinct to have children, then that naturalism must be unmodified, or else it is ideologically arbitrary 04:07 < BioGuy> negating the need for sex? Sounds like striving to make life more mundane. Honestly I don't trust my genes - I wouldn't want to have a clone nor my own child. Thats just me though 04:07 < foucist> exiff: frankly though if your'e gonna have a clone, might as well stick your brain in the clone after it hits 15 years old or whatever 04:07 < foucist> keep it a brainless clone until it's old enough 04:09 < strangewarp> So creatin an offspring-clone isn't wrong, I'd say; just there's nothing objectively advantageous or honorable about the process in particular 04:10 < strangewarp> creating* 04:10 < exiff> strangewarp, what you're saying makes me think of what would happen if we removed that instinct to reproduce,and by extension,remove all other instincts. I wonder what is left could be called human. 04:11 < strangewarp> exiff: what is a human? A miserable pile of self-reflective ontology! 04:11 < strangewarp> I think you are coming up with stacked-deck situations to create philosophical drama, honestly 04:11 < exiff> BioGuy, the purpose of sex is to reproduce, that's why it feels so good. I can't think of any other reason that it needs to feel as good as it does. 04:13 < BioGuy> Honestly for as much as we would like to think that as humans we arent driven by instinct it seems to me that we are completely driven by instinct. We have self awareness though and would rather believe our instincts are choices. If we completely removed all instinct I think we would quite literally do nothing. We would have no drive for anything. 04:13 < exiff> That isnt my intention strangewarp, the reality of 'designer children' is going to manifest. Such questions are going to come up whether they are philosophically dramatic or not. 04:14 < foucist> instinct ftw 04:14 < BioGuy> As for sex it feels good but also creates deep connections with another individual. It goes much beyond simply procreation. If we could genetically delete the need and desire for sex I'm not sure why we would want to. 04:14 < foucist> i think we should accept a definition of 'human' as a collection of all the instincts and bullshit and whatever that we're made of 04:15 < foucist> so if you start editing out instincts you end up with something that's not called human anymore.. and that should be fine 04:15 < foucist> don't even call it neo-human or anything -human 04:15 < exiff> No, it actually doesnt go beyond reproduction, BioGuy. It creates those connections because it is advantageous for a child to be raised by two parents. 04:15 < foucist> avoid the whole issue of terminology completely! 04:16 < ThomasEgi> exiff, "desiner children" may only be designable up to the point where you get hair,eyes, whatever right. you won't be able to design a genious. if you put that child in front of a tv instead of rising it properly it'll be just as stupid as the rest of todays society. it might look good, but still dump. 04:16 < exiff> Also, if we are looking for pleasure, i'm sure we can engineer even more pleasurable things than sex. 04:17 < BioGuy> Have you never had sex with someone and created a bond with that person but used condoms or other forms of birth control? 04:17 < foucist> what kind of fucking idiot would put their kid infront of a tv? 04:17 < ThomasEgi> foucist, most people do because most people are idiots. 04:18 < ThomasEgi> i have plenty of relative who raise their kids buy putting them in front of the tv at early age, the playstation usualy joins in at the age of 3 04:19 -!- EnLilaSko [~Nattzor@unaffiliated/enlilasko] has joined ##hplusroadmap 04:19 < exiff> ThomasEgi, of course. But by designer i meant in a broader sense, like complementing genetic cognitive enhancement wit the right kind of education after the child is born... or better yet, create an instinct whereby seeking knowledge and learning feels as good as sex. 04:20 -!- ElixirVitae [~Shehrazad@95.5.119.106] has joined ##hplusroadmap 04:20 -!- ElixirVitae [~Shehrazad@95.5.119.106] has quit [Changing host] 04:20 -!- ElixirVitae [~Shehrazad@unaffiliated/shehrazad] has joined ##hplusroadmap 04:20 < ThomasEgi> learning is a very generic process.. doubt you can make it feel good to learn useful stuff. 04:21 < ThomasEgi> genetic is only factor of development. the influences from the world onto the person, especially the brain weight a lot more (unless you have some serious gene-defects) 04:21 < exiff> That remains to be seen. 04:21 < BioGuy> I just think sexual relationships go much farther beyond simple 2 dimensional pleasure. Sure it can be used for that. But, with the right person, or the right relationship before having sex it can foster something much more powerful that pleasure. Maybe on a purely evolutionary basis it makes sense for those connecions to purely support the child. But we have instincts on top of instinctns on top of 04:21 < BioGuy> drives and motivations that I think looking at sex as being merely reporductive is underrating it a bit 04:22 < exiff> What other purpose does it serve then BioGuy? 04:23 < BioGuy> foucist I think the fucking idiot that puts their kid in front of a tv would probably be the average human 04:23 < foucist> i was trolling guys 04:23 < foucist> i mean that was a troll statement 04:23 < BioGuy> not all...but defenitely a good proportion 04:23 < BioGuy> ahh 04:23 < BioGuy> I should have known 04:23 < foucist> people in here are terrible at trolling 04:23 < exiff> I leanrt english from tv. So it's actually the right type of tv you need to put your child in front of. 04:23 < foucist> except for kanzure 04:24 < foucist> ThomasEgi: i think you're being too pessimistic/realistic about it when exiff is just idealizing/brainstorming/envisioning/daydreaming 04:25 < foucist> i.e. no point in bringing up issues about learning being a generic process and what not 04:25 < ThomasEgi> just wanted to point out that those issues have to be addressed in such a case. 04:26 < exiff> They can and most likely will be addressed... so bearing that in mind, let's cd .. up back to designer clones. 04:27 < exiff> And just what value sex will have when genetic engineering can produce superior offspring. 04:27 < exiff> Or rather, not leave it to chance. 04:28 < BioGuy> I dont doubt you can make it feel good to learn things. I wouldn't find it unusual if those that tend to be more curious or those that tend to pursue knowledge and understanding over others that dont might have some kind of increased dopamine (or other pleasure related response) release when they learn 04:28 < exiff> Chance and instinct. Because we seem to be attracted to things that seem genetically superior 04:29 -!- phryk [~phryk@static.39.216.9.176.clients.your-server.de] has joined ##hplusroadmap 04:29 < BioGuy> I don't know...in my opinion rather than forcing specific genes upon an unborn child (i.e. designer children) I think it might be more productive to allow people to decide what kind of gene therapies they might want once they are of age. Allow them to make a choice of what they want to give up and gain. 04:29 < exiff> Yes BioGuy, we just need to find those genes then. 04:31 < BioGuy> Thought I also think there is enough evidence to show that a person is much more than just their genes - but rather they are a product of their genes interaction with their environment over many years 04:32 < exiff> The thing is, ideology is something that is taught. It's our environment that influences what ideals we pursue. Meaning we can raise our children to want to have those enhancements. 04:33 < exiff> What choices do you think future generations are going to make? 04:36 < BioGuy> Thats an interesting question. If I could engineer myself to anything I wanted through gene therapies then I would defintely increase my memory, cognitive, and social abilites. Though I wouldn't engineer away my ability to feel sadness, pain, remorse, regret. 04:37 < exiff> Why wouldn't you? 04:37 < BioGuy> On the other hand I also wonder just how capable we are as humans to make decisions about our own genetic destiny. Do we have the foresight to see all the ramifications? What if by allowing us to engineer ourselves however we see fit it was analogous to letting a child have whatever he/she wanted. 04:38 < exiff> Are you afraid to lose your humanity? :P 04:38 < foucist> your genes suck if you're not afraid 04:38 < foucist> selfish genes bro, that's all you are driven by 04:38 < ThomasEgi> not a gene thing tho. 04:40 < BioGuy> Not necessarily humanity but I feel there is value and personal growth we experience by unpleasant things. Granted I would personally engineer away more serous forms of depression and mental states that hinder a person from growing and developing. 04:40 < exiff> Selfish genes are useless when there isn't competition... 04:41 < ThomasEgi> once more i'd say this is less a gene thing and more of a "how you got raised" problem 04:41 < exiff> In which context is that growth though BioGuy? 04:42 < BioGuy> What do you mean? 04:42 < exiff> Im trying to find out exactly what Personal growth is. 04:43 < exiff> And if it can't just be leant by intelligent anticipation. 04:45 < BioGuy> Oh ok...well I think thats a HUGE philosopic question. But for the moment lets just boil it down to adaptation. If I only ever felt pleasant or happy then I would have no drive to change. There would be no migration of will... 04:47 < BioGuy> without sadness or concern I don't suppose I would consider other paths. Whatever decision I made I would be content with. I would be exposed to less... 04:48 < strangewarp> I'd like to note for posterity that, even for people who are supposedly child-prodigies on paper, and who are raised with innovative education techniques, the result can still end up pretty awful, since the person has agency of their own; and if they dislike their environment they will subvert opportunities out of spite or anxiety. 04:48 < exiff> The only thing that might migrate will is the pursuit of knowledge. But that adaptation you mentioned is directly linked to one's environment... and human environment is entirely artificial. 04:49 < BioGuy> I want regret because we tend to feel regret when we have made a mistake and we can change the path we take to avoid such regret again. By never feeling regret I think we would hinder our ability to learn and adapt. 04:49 < exiff> So we just have to improve the environment the child lives and grows in strangewarp. 04:50 < strangewarp> This is my first day off nootropics in a half-year and I can't decide whether this conversation is sloppy or whether I've just become a fool.. 04:50 < BioGuy> I'm not sure what to make of this conversation either...but I do kind of enjoy it 04:51 < exiff> Regret is just another instinctive thing... it's a means to tell us we went wrong somewhere, it is entirely useless if we make no wrong decisions. 04:52 < strangewarp> What about people who want to choose to have the sort of emotions that don't result in a perfect child of the imperium, eh 04:53 < BioGuy> exiff I think you have defined the purpose of life is purely the pursuit of knowledge. Though many would disagree. 04:54 < exiff> Those people eh? Well, strangewarp, choice will always be there. At the very least they will know why bad things happen. If you're driving towards a cliff, you can always choose to stop, or carry on because 'you want to feel regret' 04:55 < BioGuy> How would you feel regret if you engineered it away? 04:56 -!- chris_99 [~chris_99@unaffiliated/chris-99/x-3062929] has joined ##hplusroadmap 04:56 < exiff> BioGuy, i can't find any other purpose.

At the 60mg point, you risk damaging your liver. 06:54 < strangewarp> the Cognizin dose should probably be doubled, and I may do that, hm 06:54 < skorket> why did you choose those numbers? 06:57 < strangewarp> 250mg Cognizin is what's in Nawgan energy drinks, which have been excellent to me whenever I've tried them. 600mg Alpha-GPC is a bit much, but those were the ones I could get the best deal on at the time. 30mg noopept is a high dosage, but seems safe as an upper bound, and it's how Brainpower Nutriceuticals packages their gelcaps. 06:59 < strangewarp> Alpha-GPC is basically another form of choline, to aid absorption of nootropics. It may be superior to choline citrate and choline-CDP; the Nawgan people seen to think so, anyway. 06:59 < strangewarp> seem* 07:00 < skorket> interesting, thank you 07:00 * strangewarp nods 07:02 < strangewarp> bah, okay, I want to get work done and I'm not used to having the wretched emotionally disturbed personality I had before I tried out nootropics. 07:03 -!- ElixirVitae [~Shehrazad@unaffiliated/shehrazad] has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds] 07:03 < strangewarp> I'll just bump ahead my pill schedule by the amount of time I've been awake. 07:06 -!- EnLilaSko- [~Nattzor@m83-189-151-188.cust.tele2.se] has joined ##hplusroadmap 07:07 -!- EnLilaSko [~Nattzor@unaffiliated/enlilasko] has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds] 07:14 -!- ElixirVitae [~Shehrazad@unaffiliated/shehrazad] has joined ##hplusroadmap 07:16 -!- eudoxia [~eudoxia@r190-135-32-173.dialup.adsl.anteldata.net.uy] has joined ##hplusroadmap 07:21 < curt1s> ive been attacked by a crazy mosquito 07:21 < curt1s> awful 07:21 < curt1s> bit me all over my face and arm 07:22 < curt1s> unless anyone has new/experimental methods for dealing with this i guess i will be taking an antihistamine 07:26 -!- eudoxia [~eudoxia@r190-135-32-173.dialup.adsl.anteldata.net.uy] has quit [Quit: Lost terminal] 07:51 -!- ParahSailin_ [~parah@adsl-69-151-158-78.dsl.hstntx.swbell.net] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 07:59 < Urchin> that's probably a good idea 08:00 < curt1s> yeah 08:00 < curt1s> cetirizine helped a lot 08:01 < curt1s> and doesnt have the somnolent side effects of diphenhydramine 08:01 < Urchin> wht sort of a moxquito 08:01 < Urchin> we have a tiger mosquito infestation here 08:01 < curt1s> it was a very small one 08:02 < curt1s> and only one, as far as i could tell. it bit me repeatedly on the face, neck and forearm 08:03 < curt1s> im in manhattan and this keeps happening 08:03 < curt1s> they even sprayed my neighborhood about a month ago 08:03 < curt1s> ridiculous 08:03 -!- jmil [~jmil@hive76/member/jmil] has joined ##hplusroadmap 08:04 -!- jmil [~jmil@hive76/member/jmil] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 08:04 < Urchin> tiger mosquitos are rather large, and leave a huge dose of alergens and cause large inflamations 08:05 -!- jmil [~jmil@hive76/member/jmil] has joined ##hplusroadmap 08:05 < curt1s> yeah this was a little one 08:05 < curt1s> but im also very sensitive to the bites in general 08:05 -!- jmil_ [~jmil@hive76/member/jmil] has joined ##hplusroadmap 08:05 < curt1s> they always swell up to alarming size 08:06 < curt1s> now theres a particularly stupid looking one on my forehead 08:06 < curt1s> fortunately the antihistamine reduced the swelling by a lot 08:09 -!- jmil [~jmil@hive76/member/jmil] has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds] 08:09 -!- jmil_ is now known as jmil 08:12 < brownies> what is Cognizin, exactly?

19:40 < curt1s> what, like a plumber? 19:47 < curt1s> ParahSailin: im not entirely sure what you meant earlier (if you're semi-employed, you're not in that much of a hurry to get a computer job) 19:48 < curt1s> i would actually love any kind of computer job but ive found im not at all qualified yet. this is one reason school sounds okay 19:49 < curt1s> im open to any suggestions 19:50 -!- augur [~augur@c-69-250-16-111.hsd1.md.comcast.net] has joined ##hplusroadmap 19:54 < JayDugger> Well...you have to survive, and income provides a means to that end. 19:54 < JayDugger> Do you have that covered? 19:56 < JayDugger> As for working in a field you don't want to work in, I sympathize. 20:02 < curt1s> yeah i have a totally normal, boring job. im surviving just fine, but i need to do more 20:03 < curt1s> working in film/tv production generally means jumping from one gig to the next with zero stability 20:03 < curt1s> i took a more stable job because it would allow me to survive and go to school in the afternoons/evenings 20:04 < curt1s> (those production jobs tend to be all hours, unpredictable and generally offer no flexibility for anything else i.e. school) 20:04 -!- augur [~augur@c-69-250-16-111.hsd1.md.comcast.net] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 20:08 < curt1s> anyway i dont know if anybody caught my link earlier but this sounds pretty relevant to my interests, and possibly some of yours as well http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/qubi 20:10 < JayDugger> Have you talked to any of the people listed on the faculty advisors page about your situation? They might have good suggestions. http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/qubi/faculty-advisors 20:10 < curt1s> yeah i plan on it 20:10 < curt1s> ive been in touch with some admissions people so far, applied for spring 20:10 < JayDugger> Good! 20:10 < kanzure> curt1s: it sounds like you've already made up your mind and don't like our advice 20:11 < curt1s> just feeling kind of stuck, frustrated you know 20:11 < JayDugger> Again, I sympathize, but you've already taken action. 20:11 < curt1s> kanzure: i havent made up my mind about anything, im very curious about what you do and what you'd recommend 20:11 < kanzure> i think the content on http://bioinformatics.org/ is probably better than whatever crappy bioinformatics program you can get into. 20:11 < JayDugger> That doesn't mean it will help him. 20:11 < kanzure> oh sorry, i mean http://bioinformatics.org/wiki/ 20:12 < kanzure> yeah the first link sucks, sorry about that 20:12 < kanzure> just read everything on that wiki twice, and then use each of these tools: 20:12 < kanzure> http://www.bioinformatics.org/wiki/Category:Software 20:12 < kanzure> and you'll be about 10x more effective than most guys going through bioinformatics classes 20:12 < JayDugger> If curtis has a goal of interesting, meaningful work, then he might need a credential to enable him to get anything listed here: http://bioinformatics.org/wiki/Employment 20:13 < kanzure> you don't need an employer to have interesting, meaningful work 20:13 < kanzure> you're full of it JayDugger 20:13 -!- augur [~augur@c-69-250-16-111.hsd1.md.comcast.net] has joined ##hplusroadmap 20:14 < JayDugger> That's true.

In order to stream live we managed to get a wi-fi connection going from Bornholm to the mission control ship 40 kilometers away, but we couldn't reliably get enough bandwidth to stream all our camera positions to Bornholm. " 20:25 < kanzure> "Furthermore internet connection on Bornholm is not very good. The result being that we needed to do the videomixing at sea. Only problem was that the broadcast studio, and thus the people that need to do the vdeomixing, were placed in Copenhagen." 20:25 < kanzure> "he result being this videomixer where we can send two streams from the launch site at sea: the livefeed and a mosaiq of available camera positions. The studio in Copenhagen can then remotely mix the livefeed based on the mosaiq using a webbased interface, or a commandline." 20:26 < yashgaroth> also what the hell how did I miss that spacex launch tonight 20:26 < brownies> how could you! 20:26 < brownies> although it turns out that space is mostly black and empty, especially when you're watching it through a grainy camera streaming over a satellite link 20:29 < kanzure> i wish the feeds would show things like technical schematics, or interview engineers about design decisions 20:29 < kanzure> or mention what checklist items are going on at the moment 20:29 < kanzure> and then you could have telemetry visualization for when it launches 20:30 < kanzure> http://www.indiegogo.com/TychoDeepSpace2 "Fund the development of DIY space capsule Tycho Deep Space II.
