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

2018-09-17 23:27:42 UTC  

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?

2018-09-17 23:29:13 UTC  

Not that i know of. Unless you consider fully becoming a machine to be a seperate category

2018-09-17 23:30:34 UTC  

Yes, thank you. I might consider that goal to be post-corporeal existence

2018-09-17 23:31:06 UTC  

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

2018-09-18 00:14:37 UTC  

Further, until complete neurological manipulation is available, trans people would continue to exist

2018-09-18 08:03:57 UTC  

Trans transhumanism ?

Is it more important that your nation maintains a large military or more important that it expands social program (through increased spending)?

@Deleted User You're denying it

2018-09-18 20:26:41 UTC  

(((social programs)))

2018-09-18 20:26:57 UTC  

social programs are only good to an extent in which it helps maintain traditionalism and nationalism

2018-09-18 20:26:59 UTC  

Military spending is just social welfare in camo fatigues.

2018-09-18 20:27:00 UTC  

and helps the nation
