The future scares the crap out of me. If I thought FAI was impossible, I'd probably be an anarcho-primitivist or something. Time to build a real line of retreat...

Humans cutting out a part of their existence in service of some ideal that is culturally desirable seems very stupid. A much better solution would be to make everyone beautiful.

The beauty and persuasiveness enhancing software seems scary as well. Maybe calli is the best solution to that, maybe not.

The faster we get FAI, the less we have to worry about stuff like this...
