God bless
what exactly are you meaning by transhumanism, it seems kind of vague
ascending the human condition - mentally and physiologically
through the integration of humanity with its technology
so its more like post humanism then really
no, its transhumanism lol
well if you are moving beyond human then you are becoming something else yes?
the ideology is called transhumanism
post humanism is just a current of transhumanism
no post humanism is a philosophy analogous to humanism as postmodernism is to modernism
I'm not a right winger
why not
what separates you from right wingers
regardless
what exactly does your particular strain of transhumanism want to achieve
@el pebble my economic values
I'm pretty much juche
why is that left wing
<:bruh:591181809493082113>
i want you to break this down
anyway i need to go scratch my balls brb
i want humanity to integrate with artifical superintelligence at the cusp of singularity
how would you overcome the problem of a hedonic treadmill?
that would be my issue with that form of transhumanism
i dont entirely buy the idea of the hedonic treadmill, nor think it will be a factor as it seems to be alterable neurochemically (drug addictions changing one's hedonic set point) which means it probably can be altered in a benign way
neuroticism seems more important to look at
so youre going to drug people in order to prevent their emotional state from changing
this is getting wacky imo
that's not what i said
Just that it is alterable, and that it ultimately has no impact because it is simply a baseline
so you want to do away with normal baseline emotions?
I ultimately think emotional concepts will be deconstructed eventually but no, I just dont think the hedonic treadmill is an issue
so you do want to do away with emotions as a concept
why not just lobotomise everyone on the planet so that they can no longer feel pain?
I don't have an opinion on the progression of the human psyche through integration
just autonomy
so you dont care about whether we have any experience of emotions?
I don't particularly worry if synthesis will ultimately shed us the chemical reactions that lead to certain emotions
well
you could achieve your goals of transhumanism by lobotomising people why not just do that
