Interviewer: what is your take on popular religion and society?
Me: I greatly disagree with most popular religion. While you could still be a Xanist and worship your religion of your choosing. Yes it is good to focus on the past and where we came from, but more time should be spent worrying about the future, and the many ways we need to improve it.
Religion results in disputes, even just from this, I am sure people will argue. At church when you sing and worship, the underlying message is "All others are infedels." This teaches you not the way to convert people to your way of thinking by discussion, but out right arguement. Religion creates disputes, as said already, and religion is a huge part of todays government, wether it be the banning, or exalting of it, I believe both are wrong.You should be able to worship who you want, where you want, when you want. Popular society views this as wrong, but the people you are praying around have been around religion already in some way or another. If you think praying in school and other places is wrong, due to "The influence it may have on people around you." isn't sending missionarys to African tribes, Isreal's citys and many other places equally if not a million times wrong.
Interviewer: How about seperating religion from government?
Me: Government should not possess a great view or choice of religion, this is up to the people themselves. No banning, no favoring. For as I said, religion results in dispute, and government gives it a larger scale, religion resulting in War. Just like I said previously, worship who you want, where you want, when you want. Making it illegal to worship in public, and to pray at school is like saying that you aren't allowed to have a more developed thought process than most people in public places.
Interviewer: How do you feel about the evolution in man?
Me: Self-evolution is the only way possible now, since we are smart enough to witness evolution, an evolution could not happen in us. Long ago with men evolving and changing they weren't smart enough to say "hey look, we are evolving". Once the mind reaches the state where it Knows, evolution would stop. For now we are so advanced, if there was a natural occurance of evolution we would view it as a birth defect or some desease, and kill it off. The only way to evolve now is Self-Evolution, using machines, and our own technology to further benefit our bodys.
Interviewer: What do you mean by this "Self-Evolution"?
Me: We spend so much money, time, and technology on improving technology, we now even have robotics that can act independantly. There are those few whoever who believe in evolving ourselves, believing that we should improve upon humanity before improving robotics. The path Humanity is currently taking is creating machines that will be able to do so much more than the human body, thats why we have to stop with that, and further ourselves with this technology. Yes you've seen the movies where the machines take over, long ago that was science fiction, but now should we really be worrying about this?
I know it sounds silly but I believe we should further our own bodys with technology, improving and enhancing the way we live and the way our bodys work. This could have great benefits, just recently a scientest with views similar to that has successfully places computer chips inside stroke victims, allowing them to have a new way of communication, in 2010 this scientest is going to attempt to put a computer chip in his head. He already healthily lives with one in his arm and leg which monitor his muscle reactions and other things.
We can no longer naturally evolve, so we must therefor do it ourselves. Here is a list of the evolutionary chart to date:
Homo habilis (Man with ability)
Homo rudolfensis (Rudolf Man)
Homo ergaster (Working Man)
Homo erectus (Upright Man)
Homo floresiensis (Flores Man — discovered 2003)
Homo antecessor (Explorer Man)
Homo heidelbergensis (Heidelberg Man)
Homo neanderthalensis (Neanderthal Man)
Homo rhodesiensis (Rhodesia Man)
Homo cepranensis (Ceprano Man)
Homo georgicus (Georgia Man)
Homo sapiens idaltu (elderly wise man — discovered 1997)
Homo sapiens (Wise Man; modern humans)
These we all know, next in the line I hope to see something such as Homo Machina (Machine Man). Not a computer chip controlling our bodys, but helping us. Us evolving with the technology. That or we could end the line of evolution at Homo Sapien, and let just machines progress further than us. My views on this topic are still forming, so I would not like to state any more.
Interviewer: I think that's it for now.
