We accept that two people of the same gender can love each other, and yet we find it so difficult to admit that more than one person can love each other. Just as arciac and bigotted churches stopped gay marriage until a couple of decades back, so too do they stop group marriages of people who really love each other. Polygamy is the next civil rights battle.

Human euthanasia is illegal in most nations in the world, once again down to the backwards thinking of the oppresive and greedy religious institutions that run most nations. Things are changing however. Fight now, so that in the future, if the worst comes to the worst, you can have some dignity in death.

Even today, a clump of cells is considered life; in reality, abortion differs little from any form of contraception - you are, after all, simply stopping yourself from having a child. At the same time, it reduces problems such as overpopulation that are going to get even worse in the future. We must also only allow abortions after 24-30 weeks in the most exceptional of circumstances. In this way we protect a womens right to choose, and the fact that at some point the child becomes a counscious being, worthy of human rights.

Today, we are bound by a paltry 70-100 year life expectancy. The oldest (confirmed) person lived until 122. But we can live so much longer. If we strip ourselves of the medival, anthropocentric thinking of most of the current religions, we can live for a VERY long time. As you will live long enough for new research to develop, you will live even longer. One day we will reach the point where death is purely accidental or optional.

No matter how careful you are, no matter how healthy you are, no matter how friendly you are, there is always the possiblity of you getting knocked over by a bus, catching a powerful superbug, being murdered, etc. Why give up the potential immortality and good times soon to be for such a small thing. Sign up for cryogenics. Even a small chance is better than no chance.

Today, religions given birth to in the Iron Age hold sway over 5/6ths of the worlds population - thats 5 billion people, give or take a few million. Though these institutions are crumbling at last thanks to the spread of education and information technology, will it be enough to prevent ammargedeon at the hands of an exetremist? Stop the subjucation of women and the hatred of homosexuals. Destroy religions grip on politics. Make sure that science remains unaffected by followers of 2000 year old books with numerous contradictions, scientific and historical errors, extreme prejiduce and verses that turn the most kindest of people into bigots demanding the death of blacks/gays and the obedience of women.

Today, we are well aware that the great apes (chimps, gorillas, orangutans, etc.) are self-aware beings. And yet many areas continue abohorent tests on beings who are without a doubt the most human non-humans there are. This is just the first step towards complete primate citizenship - and perhaps one day, utter technogainism and abolistionism.

You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to find this film interesting - I'm not and I still did. Indeed, this film is the KING of conspiracy films. The 2nd part is laregely inferior and more boring than the 1st and 3rd parts, which really get you thinking. Not all of the stuff in this film is true, and I encourage you to do your own research. Despite this, you will likely find this incredibly interesting - and maybe even life changing.

More coming soon.
