True that is a very real possibility.
It would be *Brave New World* turned to 11
Brave New World is a great example. Not all dystopias look ugly, and utopias come at a price
I actually have it on PDF if you want. I'll put it in Archive
oh nice, thanks
The problem with humanity lies in our souls, not our abilities. Not sure what goals of transhumanism exactly we are debating as there are huge amounts of goals, but as a movement it basically represents a diametrical opposition to the thrust of Christianity: it is unapologetically pro human in every facet. It is often atheistic and represents a pointed fear of death. To the extent that it wishes to enhance human achievement, the same critiques can be said, but here at least it’s a double edged sword in the same way that all technology advances human power: some will use it for good and some for bad
But I think you can split transhumanism into at least two separate goals: extend the capabilities of humans, and enhance human longevity. Any general categories missing?
Not that i know of. Unless you consider fully becoming a machine to be a seperate category
Yes, thank you. I might consider that goal to be post-corporeal existence
Becoming part of a matrix, a hive mind, or whatever term you can think of
Regarding *trans* transhumanism... The technologies created would enable presently trans people to more easily transition into their preferred gender
Further, until complete neurological manipulation is available, trans people would continue to exist
Trans transhumanism ?
