honestly I’d really appreciate it if people who dislike transhumanism point me in the direction of why
I don’t know if I’d say I ‘dislike’ transhumanism so much as it’s important to keep the general arc of science and medicine in mind.
“Scientists installed robot wings in my back and now I can fly” is awesome. “Scientists installed first-generation robot wings in my back and then I was in unbearable pain because all of my spinal discs prolapsed” is not.
Which is related to my other thought, which is that we just aren’t very good at predicting what life would be like under very different circumstances. On a certain level transhumanism isn’t that different from people saying that we’d have flying cars and robot maids by the year 2000.
yes, although this seems like just avoiding over optimism, even if you think it’s the right direction overall.
Do not underestimate the cyborg equivalent of furries who WOULD endure the lmao prolapsed spine phase of transhumanism
These brave heroes will help bring mankind closer to perfection, and/or test the safety of the secondary backup heart implant before I get it. Truly, our hats go off for these brave Cyberfurs™.
