20:00:03 | Lucifer | time to chat! |
20:00:08 | LuciferBot | LuciferBot (~nemo@[death to spam].modemcable145.101-200-24.mc.videotron.ca) has joined #virus |
20:00:09 | serenade` | wait is mermaid here? |
20:00:12 | serenade` | ok phew |
20:00:20 | Lucifer | tonight's topic is The Future of Sex |
20:00:28 | Lucifer | pay no attention to the LuciferBot |
20:00:35 | John_Ventureville | we need some females here to balance things out for such an important topic |
20:00:43 | rhino | hmm.. how can we get a hold on this... |
20:00:44 | Lucifer | Mermaid is our token fembot |
20:01:11 | rhino | i'll say that sex is composed of 3 things |
20:01:17 | John_Ventureville | too bad Natasha and Nanogirl aren't here |
20:01:47 | rhino | direct hormonal stuff, memories of situations involving it, and perceptions of others passed along through culture |
20:02:01 | kzzch | the future of sex looks bleak, as far as i'm concerned. |
20:02:08 | Lucifer | My main question is how much longer will sex be the main driver of human behaviour? |
20:02:33 | rhino | which of these 3 parts can survive, for how long, and in what form |
20:02:37 | kzzch | um, forever? i don't think the majority considers it much of a problem. |
20:02:57 | Mermaid | hey rhino! |
20:03:03 | rhino | hey Merm! |
20:03:03 | kzzch | so i doubt, unless in an ironic twist of fate, the >H community outbreeds the Luddites, that it'll change. |
20:03:25 | John_Ventureville | I see postsingularity technologies just enhancing human sexuality, even if sometimes in astounding ways |
20:03:32 | prometheus | Perhaps humanity will branch into those driven by sex and those who attempt to move past it. |
20:03:45 | kzzch | my question is: why bother with sex after the singularity? |
20:03:59 | Mermaid | kzzch: dont make me beat you to a pulp |
20:04:00 | Mermaid | make=let |
20:04:14 | Mermaid | JV..but first..how can sexuality be enhanced? |
20:04:14 | John_Ventureville | because it's fun, but more than just fun, because at it's best it can bond people together |
20:04:15 | kzzch | Mermaid: don't make me beg :} |
20:04:39 | John_Ventureville | Mermaid, for instance, the length and intensity of an orgasm |
20:04:45 | kzzch | so i'm sure you can find ways to do it post-singularity (bond, etc...) without the need for a towel and a wet-spot. |
20:04:52 | Mermaid | sexuality is diff from sex |
