Oh man, I've been saying this for years, count me in. Let's find a way to reduce or eliminate the need for personal hygiene while we're at it. Robot bodies!

Oh man, I've been saying this for years, count me in. Let's find a way to reduce or eliminate the need for personal hygiene while we're at it. Robot bodies! We could theoretically still have sex virtually, too.
- TeMPOraL 7y ago> Let's find a way to reduce or eliminate the need for personal hygiene while we're at it. Definitely. It's another maintenance time waster, another upkeep you have to pay. What's worse, only a fraction of it is needed for survival, the rest is just an elaborate social signalling game with almost unbounded costs in time and money. > We could theoretically still have sex virtually, too. Only if it offers improvement over status quo :).
- sdegutis 7y agoThis philosophy would eventually do away with art and music.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoWhy? Art and music is something you do because you want to, not because you have to.
- sdegutis 7y agoIn your philosophy, music and art do not serve a necessary function, and eventually, even liking things will be made "more efficient" by using chemicals via pills to adjust the brain chemicals until the liking is added or the desire for liking is removed.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoRead my comments again. In my philosophy, we should strive to get rid of or minimize all necessary stuff, in order to free time, money and attention for pursuits of things one wants and not just needs. So, painting stays, dusting the apartment goes.

- bregma 7y agoWell, I guess I have accidentally stumbled into the future. Except for the robot body, I could really use one of those because the one I have is starting to break down.
