The Subliming Is Upon Us.

If the Human race was about to Sublime would you go? I persoanlly would.


Subliming: In aesthetics, the sublime (from the Latin sublīmis) is the quality of greatness, whether physical, moral, intellectual, metaphysical, aesthetic, spiritual, or artistic. The term especially refers to a greatness beyond all possibility of calculation, measurement, or imitation.


Think of it as ascension, the next step in Human evolution. The Sublime is somewhere you can't come back from but it's better than the real (the reality in which you experience).

Races have been Subliming for centruies just to set a time scale.

I assumed you were referring to the physical process of sublimation - that is, when a substance changes from a solid directly to a gas. That probably wouldn't be healthy for humans.

Isn't that what we're doing anyway? Constant progress to better ourselves?

Compared to 200 years ago we'd probably be considered the Sublime to that era.

Ich bin bereits ubermensch!

No.

Subliming is, transcending en masse to a mathematically-provable afterlife where entropy and death are irrelevant concepts, Enfolded in alternative dimensions whose existence has been confirmed by reliable (if frustratingly vague) reports back from beyond.

Are you a male model?

:/ Ok, so some 'incredible place' in the big beyond..

I don't know, I quite like the chaos in this dimension.

Exactly This!


Would you be able to enhabit earth alone or at least with a few other stragglers?

While the rest of us are partying it up in the big S?

I still feel like there's a catch to it. I'm far too used to my physical form, plus it sounds like those who will transcend are going to escalate their head up their rear and form a massive ego complex over the 'few other stragglers'. No thank you.

I'm an... airfix model
*muted laughter*

Public displays of self-deprecation are a hall mark of a narcissitic personality.

Ah, like in the Culture novels. You are aware that it is fiction right? But yeah I would, were such a thing actually possible.

I feel like that 'Sublime' place is where people go after turning into puffy clouds... Like that chemistry thing.
Which would be really miserable, to float all the time and then fall crushing into the ground like water does. Only more bloody.

The culture is very real. Nothing Fictional about it, buddy.
