My plan to evolve takes another step forward...

A few years back I decided the next logical step would be to evolve* into one of them Star Trek, disembodied, omnipotent, glow-y Energy Beings.

Well today I moved another step towards that. I finally created a FaceBook profile.

Gradually more and more of my personality moves onto the Internet. And gradually computers become more and more powerful. One day one will accumulate enough information about me so that when my physical body dies I will live on for all eternity on the Internet (or at least until us Energy Beings develop the technology to exist without the Internet).









*Yes, I understand evolution doesn't work that way. Maybe my great-great-great-great...grandchild could evolve into an Energy Being. Now quit ruining my fun.
 
In typical Dune style, I'm sure your energy-being descendants will hold all your memories, allowing you to be a vicarious energy being!

Well, traditional Darwinian natural selection, or neo-Darwinst evolution don't work like that, but I was watching this movie the other day and this guy was saying how, with technology, an individual organism itself, like a human, will be able to evolve itself (into something "post-human" or "trans-human" or "neo-human" as he called it) with the aid of technology, with the new structures (or upgrades) building on the old...

A new type or paradigm for evolution.

I was thinking about it and I think it's kinda like with the human brain - if you look at it, it's layered, with the newer structures buiding on but not replacing the older more evolutionarily primative sections...from the primative fish-like* brainstem, to the reptilian R-complex, to the mamalian additions and cerebral cortex...and maybe now to beyond that with computers and cybernetic implants...

*(And btw, the part of our brain responsible for causing us to hiccup, is the same part of the primative brain that controls a lung-fish's breathing...and they breath, not smoothly like a true land animal, but through hiccup-like gulps of air! So some scientists think that when we hiccup, it's just that old part of the brain thinking that it's needed again...cool, huh?)
 
I'll print this thread out. Should come in useful next time I'm finding it hard to sleep.
 
Please be advised that I, the great SaintLucifer, am the highest form of human evolution. I am all that everyone else strives to be.

Ooh, so you're the genius behind the latest trends in classical and jazz music.

Classical and jazz music, both beyond your ken. As expected of an limited intellect. Listen to Ravel's Bolero, and you would be sitting there with a dumb look upon your face.
 
Belero?

Regarded as 10 overdrawn minutes of repetition by many, especially by those less familiar with the classical form, but in truth an exploration of the varied colours of the orchestra, including that of the saxophone, a rarity in the symphony orchestra, and once Ravel felt that the colors had been explored to his liking, he modulates the key into the coda to end the piece.

And Bolero was successfully adapted by Pink Martini to their stage band, bringing an abridged version accessible to the masses while retaining the core essence of Ravel's opus.

Try again.
 
Really, Luci, you're claiming someone with a subcontra-fucking-bass clarinet as their AV wouldn't understand the structure, mechanics and form of classical and jazz music.

Nevermind the fact that I built that subcontra on a lark!

Idiot.

Do attempt to refrain from copy/pasting from the likes of SHITTYPEDIA. It is quite clear, BICKENHAG, that you know nothing of the greatness that is classical music.

Uh huh. Any further bullshit, my child?
 
They say that the clarinet is God's instrument. As a clarinetist, I disagree. The alto clarinet is more suited to be God's instrument.
