I am a neutral trader and that is what I intend to remain, any thoughts of "taking sides" have been squelched by this summit.

When I came to this summit the first thing I noticed was the arrogance of religious zealots and a general air of the pretentious. My only crime is that I have spoken sincerely and from the heart amongst a group of individuals who use tact when blunt directness is called for. If that makes me a "whelp" on a path of destruction than perhaps this "summit" is not the right place for my views. If it is considered a bretrayal to call an individual on misplaced humility when dealing with RELIGIOUS SLAVER SCUM, then may you live in interesting times pandering to your imperial overlords, because make no mistake, for all their talk of truth their idea of salvation is packing you and the ones you love aboard a Bestower to be shipped off to Domain to be sold as livestock for a handful of isk. Mark my words, for when that day comes no amount of boot kissing, good business practices, or long winded diplomacy will save you.

I considered sharing some of my history,

Then I decided to save my breath and get a drink of tea.

I am not interested in your history Halete, your condemnation against one who speaks against the brutality of the Amarrians has already been noted.

I like how Dos has managed to irritate and insult members of all four empires plus Nation in a handful of pages.

The more you talk the more I regret backing you up....

Mmm. Bait, I'll bite.

Keeping it briefly; 'No.'

That's fine by me, I lost any semblance of respect for this "summit" pages ago. As far as I'm concerned the bulk of you deserve each other and only serve to reinforce for me why I choose a stance of neutrality.

Then why are you here?

Wow, you're more extreme than me.

Maybe you're just not eXtreme enough with these boot kissers.

Nope, I refuse to fight for a hypocritical Federation or a liberation force that has members who insult someone for speaking blunty about the actions of slaver scum and those who pander to them.

Regarldess, welcome to the infomorph community. Best of luck.

Wait, are we really considered infomorphs? I thought that was only when a consciousness is data, at all times.

I suppose that depends on your definition. According to the definition I work with, an infomorph is any decision network (sentient, biological, digital, or otherwise) able to

1. survive design-change modification to its decision network without a disjunctive event, and
2. demonstrate some form of substrate-independence.

In our labs, the first property is normally called the network's second-order resilience, while the second property is called its transitivity. Capsuleers are infomorphs with moderate second-order resilience and low transitivity.

Because it's still burning my warpcore a bit that I came to this "summit" expecting to see words from bold thinkers and kindred spirits, and instead I find a lot of pseudo intellectual slaver dung boot kissing and back patting the very entities that would sell them as livestock.

I always thought of infomorphs as like, transhuman or posthuman or something. You know, shedding the need for physical bodies and such. Eh, I guess it's an open definition.

Ditto. There's an amusing drinking game based off of taking a sip of alcohol every time you see a supercilious post involving an Amarr and religion.

You don't even need your machine to be made out of meat anymore, although that's still easiest. Think about it.

Huh, that might explain the behavior of a few people here on IGS since my becoming more active.

Truly severing one's consciousness from an organic physical form is incredibly difficult. Our manifestation of "self" is built around the scaffold of an organic construct. I could have had my face smoothed out long ago, removing the ugly and painful scar from the side of my head, but it's that attachment to my physical form that has kept me from doing so.

Do yourself a favor and buy a couple of stocks in a liquor company if you're going to keep the stuffy Amarr religious nut act up.

Who's acting?
