This book was released on 2021-10-31 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, ideas of post- and transhumanism have been popularized by novels, TV series, and Hollywood movies. According to this radical perspective, humankind and all biological life have become obsolete. Traditional forms of life are inefficient at processing information and inept at crossing the high frontier: outer space. While humankind can expect to be replaced by their own artificial progeny, posthumanists assume that they will become an immortal part of a transcendent superintelligence. Krüger's award-winning study examines the historical and philosophical context of these futuristic promises by Ray Kurzweil, Nick Bostrom, Frank Tipler, and other posthumanist thinkers.

Download or read book Forever Finite written by Kip K. Sewell and published by Rond Books. This book was released on 2023-08-01 with total page 828 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INFINITY IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS… Infinity is commonly assumed to be a logical concept, reliable for conducting mathematics, describing the Universe, and understanding the divine. Most of us are educated to take for granted that there exist infinite sets of numbers, that lines contain an infinite number of points, that space is infinite in expanse, that time has an infinite succession of events, that possibilities are infinite in quantity, and over half of the world’s population believes in a divine Creator infinite in knowledge, power, and benevolence. According to this treatise, such assumptions are mistaken. In reality, to be is to be finite. The implications of this assessment are profound: the Universe and even God must necessarily be finite. The author makes a compelling case against infinity, refuting its most prominent advocates. Any defense of the infinite will find it challenging to answer the arguments laid out in this book. But regardless of the reader’s position, Forever Finite offers plenty of thought-provoking material for anyone interested in the subject of infinity from the perspectives of philosophy, mathematics, science, and theology.

Download or read book Immortal US written by Robert Broome, Jr. and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Private Michael Davidson, USMC, spoke about his family’s history while we were serving together aboard the USS Portland on a NATO exercise in the north seas. He recounted the military heroes in his family, from the Prussian War in Austria in the 1870s through both world wars. But the story ends when Private Davidson was killed in 1982 in the U.S. Marine Corps barracks bombing in Beirut. Immortal US tells the story of Davidson’s family roots, beginning with his Jewish great-great grandfather immigrating to America from Austria in 1875 with his mother, and making a living as a juvenile on the streets of New York after his mother died of tuberculosis. He lived in a world of gangsters, prostitutes, and violence, even serving time in jail. Later, he started a successful hotel and raised a family that would serve heroically in the American military. Michael’s great grandfather’s eldest son was buried in France after falling as a U.S. Marine in Belleau Woods, France. His Uncle Michael fought as a USMC captain during World War II, dying in the German Reichstag while pushing to take Berlin in 1945. His aunt, Lieutenant Anna Davidson, was betrayed by a double agent as a British/American spy and was shot while trying to evade capture. This book is about a classic American family, not famous, but one that gave everything for the American dream.

Download or read book The End written by Bianca Nogrady and published by Random House Australia. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating exploration of the universal human experience of death. We sat around and on the bed, laughing and joking as if this was a typical family gathering. The shrunken form of our dying grandmother lay on the bed, breathing fast and shallow, her once-bright eyes half closed and sunken in their sockets. To some it might have seemed disrespectful to be treating her as part of the furniture as she took what were her very last breaths on this earth. But to us, it seemed almost normal that we should carry on being her boisterous, jovial grandchildren, filling her ears with the sounds of normality as she slipped away. Looking back on that experience, Bianca Nogrady realised she had so many questions. Was her grandmother in pain? Could she hear them? Did she know they were there? Was she aware of what was happening to her? What was she experiencing as the spark of life that had sustained her for 87 years finally flickered out? We know so much about birth - generations of women have shared their experiences with their sisters, daughters and grand-daughters, medicine has exhaustively explored and documented every possible angle of birth, and it is a joyous moment that is shared with friends and family. But at the other end of a life, death is hidden, taboo, mysterious, fearful, rarely shared and often a lonely, dark book-end. Death will come to all of us - it is one of few experiences that unites every single being on the planet. But we don’t talk about it, we try not to think about it and anyone who breaks these unspoken taboos is viewed as being unnecessarily morbid. Yet many who have been present at the death of a loved one talk of it as being a gift, they have taken part in a profound moment. The End is an exploration of that experience, exploring the human experience of death from every angle - the spiritual, the historical, the physical, the metaphysical; from the perspective of those who have witnessed it, those who face it, and those who have somehow stepped back from it. The End investigates an experience common to every single one of us and does so in a way that is engaging, compelling, a bit funny and a bit quirky in places, heartbreaking in others, but most of all fascinating. The End provides a different framework through which to view death instead of the fear and mystery that so often shrouds this incredibly important moment of life.
