Transhumanism. Yes or No? Would you do it?

@Natasha Tori Maru Personally, I would just like to extend my life and that's about it. But yeah, the possibilities stemming from such technologies are scary and are genuinely even revolting to some extent. Scary questions as well. Yeah, hard to answer

Yeah, it's a fucken pandora's box of potential turds underneath it all. As well as some diamonds in technological development.

For me I want healthspan. I want broadening of the sensory experience.

Part of my interest around AI/technology and transhumanism is that traditionally technology has acted to support and assist humans.

The role of technology is changing, as well as capability. This changes everything because for the first time technology has the potential to replace humans (or part of the human experience), rather than just assist.

Anyway, you have been on of the few here with the testicle to acknowledge some of the legit concerns and wider implications
