David Pearce's essay 'Reprogramming Predators' - a clearheaded look at the immense moral significance of wild animal suffering. I've always found it astonishing how this view is so widely ignored/condemned. It seems so beautifully reasonable! Link: abolitionist.com/reprogramming/…

I recently had the pleasure of talking to David Pearce (@webmasterdave) about transhumanism, negative utilitarianism vs classical utilitarianism, consciousness, and more. It was a fun conversation! open.substack.com/pub/ludwigraal…

David Pearce: "Transhumanism is a technical solution to an ethical problem." 12 years ago, we talked veganism, suffering, sentience, & why tech should end pain for all beings. Still one of the most radical visions of compassion I’ve heard. 🎧 snglrty.co/4orFFDi

@elonmusk @grok saying this out of the blue about @webmasterdave's ideas makes me Feel the AGI like never before! I have found his ideas as an excellent global metric to optimise in the long term, and it's almost shocking to see Grok select it among all the possible things it…

rahulb2812 bryan_johnson David Pearce argues for genetically reprogramming life to abolish suffering, creating a "hedonistic imperative." It's correct as biotech advances could end pain without trade-offs, yet dismissed as utopian amid focus on incremental health gains.

I’m grateful for the engagement from a prominent transhumanist. I’d encourage all my followers to read this exchange, which reveals how dangerously naïve transhumanists are (and “naïve” is a charitable reading; the other option is “pure evil”). These people believe so strongly…

"Satan was the first transhumanist." (Grayson Quay) The Transhumanist Declaration (1998, 2009) affirms our commitment to the well-being of all sentience. Such a commitment is not a tenet of Satanism as normally understood.

Celene how familiar are with @webmasterdave His thing is re-engineering both humans and the rest of the biosphere to eliminate suffering so that all sentients live life in gradients of intelligent bliss. May be of interest to you for obvious reasons. youtube.com/watch?v=n1qXVB…

I am paraphrasing, but I remember David Pearce said something like: Other things being equal, people that love life wants to preserve life. We need to get to the genetic root of what makes humans destroy a civilization, and then virtually abolish existential risk.

my kind of transhumanist. (quietly admiring David Pearce fighting the good fight on twitter)

The number of self-reported LGBT people in general will increase worldwide as stigmatization diminishes. Official figures always undercount. Sex & gender are evolutionary relics we’d do well to outgrow. Until then, let’s avoid transphobia and respect everyone’s gender identity.
