Transhumanism and Batman - Can We Have an Intensely Thrilling World, without Tears and Suffering?

Transhumanism and Batman - Can We Have an Intensely Thrilling World, without Tears and Suffering?: "Why are we drawn to blood and suffering? Do we lack the courage to believe in dramatically-positive visions of the future? If we had this courage, would it give us the visceral, emotional drama that we crave?



Reflecting on the latest Batman movie it occurred to me that the darkness, war and suffering portrayed in such movies provides far more intensity and drama than peace-time movies such as Woody Allen’s beautiful and hilarious, but arguably less exhilarating (and surely less box office-rich), “To Rome With Love.”"
