post here when someone decides to run for president in 2016

[gatoveintisiete]

What kind of foreign policy are we talking about here, Sprac?

Two words: Hulk handed.  However, the threshold for involvement should be v high. Let's spend more energy addressing our domestic problems.

Can the gays marry?

Yes.  It's good for business.  But, we'll give it a different name to assuage the bigots.

Boom, you are now unelectable.  Well, you had a good run, no shame in trying, etc.

Nope, neo-con here, still listening Spracne ma man.

[puniraptor]

is your speaking voice more or less unpleasant than that of Greg Orman?

[Spracne]

The phrase "sex'd gravitas" comes to mind.

[Benja]

Do you have sex with black dress socks on?

Meet Zoltan Istvan; writer, futurist, philosopher, and transhumanist. Running for president in 2016 on, what else, the "transhumanist ticket" Early candidate for Benja's vote. Beep boop.

[Benja]

Wrote a novel about a transhumanist that takes over the world! And now he wants to run for president! And his name is Zoltan!

[Rage Against the McKee]

What is a transhumanist, and is his name Zoltan or Zolstan?

[Tobias]

sounds/looks kinda foreign-y iyam

Zoltan! Look at that jaw line!

[Rage Against the McKee]

As stated by Istvan, the Transhumanist party has three primary goals as its political agenda:

1) Attempt to do everything possible to make it so this country's amazing scientists and technologists have resources to overcome human death and aging within 15–20 years—a goal an increasing number of leading scientists think is reachable.

2) Create a cultural mindset in America that embracing and producing radical technology and science is in the best interest of our nation and species.

3) Create national and global safeguards and programs that protect people against abusive technology and other possible planetary perils we might face as we transition into the transhumanist era.

Goal 1 seems pretty stupid, but this guy does look like the best candidate to throw his hat in the ring so far. If the election were today, I'd vote for Zoltan, no doubt.

Yeah I mean none of that stuff is going to get him elected, and the first one is very stupid, but he's a pretty interesting guy.

Even if it were possible to overcome death, the only way that is sustainable is if you stop birth, too. How somebody could ever make that a goal of his political party is beyond me. If you are going to have a stupid goal like that, at least bury it in a long list. Don't make it #1 out of 3.

Zoltan must be pro-choice then?

Yeah, I think he would have to be.

I am with you, just need to see who he scoops for running mate

I think #2 should be our goal at all times, regardless who is pres

What is a transhumanist

A transhumanist, from what I've gathered, are people who believe that humans are going to make a jump in evolution to some higher state due mostly to a merging between human consciousness and rapidly improving technology.

Yeah, I think he would have to be.

Right. Sounds like the Dems would be a good fit? Primary challenge to Hillary?

It baffles me that this is a partisan issue, really. I mean it has nothing at all to do with fiscal policy or even the government, yet you just don't see pro life dems or pro choice republicans very often.

[Benja]

Zoltan does not care about your petty human arguments between pro-choicers and pro-lifers.

Zoltan?  Is he that robot that has feet and arms that are robot lions?  Or possibly robot tigers?
