well

That's quite a broad question
define transhumanism
^
Transhumanism? More like autism
So broad
detriment, b/c it will become a slippery slope to losing our humanity
Are heart monitors transhumanist?
Are fitwatches transhumanist
Transhumanism as in things like genetic engineering, advanced prosthetics, nanomachines, etc
Hmmmmmmmmm
well it could be both
depends how we use it
Am I a cyborg if I have dental fillings?
It's still too broad

Detriment, it is likely to cause us to be too uniform in design and expose us to unintended consequences like a disease that exploits the generic modification
Like it's up to the individual that decides how they're going to use their "transhumanism"
Can't really determine whether or not it's detrimental because it's just too broad.
In all seriousness, as with most technological advancements, it will change us, but probably for the better.

i'd usually say it's a detriment since it's more or less non-human, I feel like making a peak and perfect baby is not really human
humans have qualities, getting rid of them is questionable
@Deleted User Hey
Hey
i think machine-minds would entail loss of personal freedoms
You’re the one who raided those servers
We'll probably lose our sense of self at the expense of becoming the physically best versions of ourselves.
wdym lol
Like would you or would you not want to walk around with some metal that can morph into virtually anything of any realistic size?
Would you want your consciousness connected to the internet somehow?
if someone hacks into it i'm fucked
I feel like some people would abuse it too, like creating a child that looks like chad
I mean like, it sounds dope on paper,
and if it's treated right,
it can benefit everyone,
it could be abused in many ways if it is not properly done
but most things turn sour.
I don't think average people are willing to take that chance.
