What do I believe but can't prove?

That we as humans will eventually improve ourselves, and fix all the problems of society and our world.


In Response To Kira:

I agree entirely with the ideas of advanced medicine, in fact I'm in that field, I am currently a Biotechnology Student!


In Response To The Whole AI Debate:

I believe in someting entirely different.
That we don't need AI really, what I think would be the most powerful would be a combination of life and computers to create a being more powerful than either alone. I believe by integrating technology into ourselves we will be able to overcome many problems and accomplish more than was ever possible, or even imaginable.
(And by powerful, I don't mean physically or empircally alone)
If this is accomplished it eliminates the entire notion of machines conquering us. If we are the machinery, we have nothing to worry! (Additionally, it would be kind of shortsighted to make something that destroyed you, now wouldn't it?)


In Response To Sa'ar's (and other's) Comments About Athiesm, etc.:

I am not an atheist.
But I do not believe in God.
I believe the universe is made of more than just what we see now.
But I don't believe it is fair, either.
I believe we have a life-force that extends beyond us, and we exist after we die.
But I don't believe in heaven, hell, or in a classical "soul".
I do not believe the universe is entirely random.
But I don't believe it is entirely logical, either.
I don't believe we have anyone to blame for the actions of the universe.
But I don't think we need anyone to blame.
I don't believe we have entire control over our lives, or that we deserve everything put upon us.
But I do believe we should use all the control we have, because I believe it is enough to accomplish anything.
