A few years ago I read a "transhumanist" novel. I immediately recognized two things: first, transhumanists are males in an arrested state of development with a maturation level of about 15. This has nothing to do with intelligence, and everything to do with maturity. Second, no woman who is or has been a mother could ever do anything but laugh at the idiocy that is transhumanism. Transhumanism requires that the practitioner have absolutely no empathy, and a little boy's love of cool gadgets. That is it. The end.

Thank you, my fellow woman, for speaking the obvious!

Men are almost all boys, IMHO, and letting them run a society seems to run the risk of having it devolve into a technological or economic "Lord Of The Flies" scenario.

War making unnecessarily being their #1 insanity.

But falling in love with their gadgets and turning from the magic and mystery that is life, itself, our Conscious Universe, from fawn to flower, from supernova to atom, towards their own "false light" creations, is perhaps ultimately just as toxic and deadly a mistake.

However, the awake males can perhaps reach them. "Sacred Geometry" on Gaia TV is pretty stunning, and the real answers to the Big Questions are emerging, perhaps even as rapidly as the rise of the techie Universe.

May Consciousness Win!!

I always hesitate to make too many pronouncements about the superiority of women in this regard, since the CEO's of the war-machine corporations are women, and we've had a few Secretaries of State and other cabinet members....ahem. "Can't we just drone this guy"? comes to mind. There are too many women who have accepted that you have to become like men to be successful. But yes, it is infuriating that the psychopaths of both sexes tend to rise to the top.

I agree that the women in power today are as bad, or even worse, than the men.

But, women have been subjected to a 6000 year campaign of repression, abuse, and male domination.

They are "out boying the boys" to succeed, imho.

Read Saharasia, by James DeMeo.

Study the Iroquois, the Minoans, and other balanced or Matriarchal societies. They are VERY different than ours, and neither the women, nor the men are sociopaths.

It's a deep subject, but one well worth studying.

Our world is not, and the two sexes are not, what we have been taught to believe they are.

One society that opened my eyes was the matriarchal society of Tibet pre-1960 in the book Leaving Mother Lake. It was an arrangement I had never considered, but which made so much sense to me. Yes, I agree that we have no idea what societies have existed successfully in the past or what is possible. I will check out Saharasia. I also recommend the book The Dawn of Everything, about pre-modern societies that challenge our notion of what is possible for humans.

Thanks for the reccomendations, I will look at them!

They is a great little book about how the early American Feminists realized what was possible, and much, much more healthy, by spending time with the tribes in Upstate New York.

Members of the Iroquois Confederation.

And, some say our three branches of government with the checks and balances come from them as well.

I think balanced or matriarchal societies are in a lot of our blood and DNA.

We've just been brain-washed that all this endless war and male domination is "normal." It is anything but!
