I disagree about steve's article.
While it is indeed a brilliant article for those who share the same beliefs steve does (that we are spiritual beings), other people, like me, on the other hand, aren't so sure of that, i mean, no one is completely sure of what comes after we die.
Even steve can't argue about the fact that no one is certain that the ultimate truth is that we are spiritual beings. What he bases himself is on his own experience, which is, of course, subjective.
I believe, based on my experience (therefore my belief is as valid as steve's belief), in the transhumanism. There is no possible way we can know that death is just a path to another plain of existence and we won't cease to exist after we die. Therefore, i'd rather do everything i can to not die (i believe raymond kurzweil's theories) than to just accept it as a natural proccess of life. And if i fail on my quest for immortality on earth and die, THEN, after i failed, i hope steve is right.
See the difference? I have more chances here of lasting than steve does.
I don't want to discredit steve, actually, all i would want is that steve was right, but it's IMPOSSIBLE to really know.  |
