There are already people on this planet, that are 100 years old. Some people are even a bit older than that. What will be the limit in, I don't know, the next 200-300 years ahead, in your opinion?

Years ago, when I was a child; I came across a futurism book that had an image of a hypothetical post-gender human. This was a photorealistic image of an attractive blonde person with long hair and a feminine face but no breasts. They were wearing a black top. I want to use this image in a speech I’m doing on gender equality. For the life of me, I can’t remember what book I read this in but it was a futurism book for young people. Does anybody know what I’m referring to? I just need the title of the book. I can’t find it on Google Images or Archive.org

Two science related announcements. The first is https://brainbridge.tech/ . The second is human skin grown from a single cell is fitted to robotic face. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/technology/experts-create-robot-with-a-face-made-out-of-living-skin-tissue/ar-BB1oRYhZ?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=574529482b8846bf8049005217b94a81&ei=64.

I’m starting to think we are kinda just repeating what probably alien civilizations have already done. Just wanna hear others thoughts on it and ponder on the possibilities, is becoming post biological, be a normal evolution for intelligent life? If so what could drive the motives of an AI civilization or ascended post biological digital civilization that lives in simulations?

I've had this question in my head for some time now. People in transhumanist communities discuss how far, often with the help of technology, we can go beyond the limitations of the human body (hence "trans" in "transhumanism," which means "beyond").

These discussions often focus on going beyond human on an individual level. How long can we live? Is biological immortality possible? Can we augment our minds with AI? Can we become real-life cyborgs?

These are all good and interesting questions that anyone in this community sooner or later stumbles upon. Recently, however, I started to think about this question on a higher level—instead of "going beyond human," what about "going beyond humanity"?

I wrote my current thoughts here. In a nutshell, the definition of "humanity" is somewhat fluid and does not necessarily mean that "humanity" is equal to "all members of the Homo sapiens species." In the past (and sadly sometimes still to this day), some groups of people were excluded from the definition of "humanity" so that we could justify things like slavery or treating a human being like an object.

However, over time and through various civil and human rights campaigns, the definition of "humanity" started to include previously excluded groups. We have expanded what it means to be human.

My question is, how far can we go in expanding the definition of "humanity"? If (or when, depending on your views) machines become sentient, would we be able to see ourselves in them and treat them as equals? What about genetically enhanced or augmented humans in any shape or form? Will both groups see each other as equally human?

I'm interested to hear your thoughts.

ok so we all know that at some point scientists are gonna wanna play Frankenstein with bioprinted organs and and organically based cpu's but what will be first to market a pet or a romantic partner do you think both have there advantages.

1.a bio printed pet would have cute factor and good press attached to it while also not really offending anyone and we could get really insane with the designs but its also non sapient though and would not show case the limits of the tech.

2. a bio printed romantic partner would be sapient more capable and really push the scientific limits of the tech and come with a built in audiance and appeal but would be morally iffy and would likly cause some societal changes to occure as well as cause religious groups to get ticked.

I wanted to share that the Transhumanist Party is currently seeking volunteers. Their mission to advance technology for human betterment aligns closely with my own values and professional goals. I believe collaborating with like-minded individuals in both capacities could lead to groundbreaking advancements.

Finished reading all fm2030's books and now I want to read other books that similar to him in writing and philosophy Could you suggest me some of these books please?

How different will be from the prisons we have today?

Hi everyone would you think that considering the nature of society and the stigma that transhumans may face while heavily modifying their body to be much more like say cyborg or animal hybrids, that considering all the xenophobia the world still has to face in many different countries, would transhumans need to isolate themselves or even create a country or a refuge for themselves? Will humanity mature enough to live in peace with transhumans?

Also what as a person you'd consider is too much to change if you think so and why?

Dear Friends and Fellow Dreamers,

Today, we stand on the cusp of a new dawn, where the impossible begins to shimmer with possibility. As we look back on the long arc of human history, we marvel at the leaps and bounds we've made in science and technology. From the discovery of fire to the age of information, each step has brought us closer to mastering the world around us.

But now, I invite you to envision a future even more extraordinary—a future where technology allows us to resurrect every biological organism that has ever walked, swum, or flown upon this Earth.

Future civilization will have the technological capabilities to reconstruct a person from the very atoms that constructed them. Piece by piece, by synthetic assembly at the atomic scale, all biological systems that had ever existed from microbes of the dawn of the Archean era to the primates that rule the world today will be brought back into being to exist in a harmonious and enriched solar society governed by the descendants of civilization.

This idea which has been kept in secrecy in esoteric scientific and philosophical circles is now on the cusp of breaking into mainstream thought, eventually replacing the fantasy based elements of the leading theological schools of thought such as Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism.

I invite you all to join me on my journey to spread this information far and wide for the purposes of awareness. Thank you in advance.

I keep seeing this. "What if Hitler could live forever?" or some other really evil person... It's frustrating because it makes no sense. He killed HIMSELF. Even if he were a cyborg at that time he still would have killed himself. Not to mention that he wasn't uniquely dangerous, he was just a figurehead of a movement. His ideas live on all over the world. It doesn't matter if it's him enacting them or someone else. Even if he survived no one would take him seriously anymore besides weird neonazi edgelord cults. The people of germany wouldn't follow him after their humiliating loss. He'd just be some hated loser. I'm tired of hearing that argument.

Why do people that don't want to be cyborgs also not want anyone else to be? Why are some life extending technologies ok to them, but not other theoretical ones? Prosthetic limbs, pacemakers, transplants, disease altering medications, cochlear implants, synthetic cornea, etc,.... Where is this arbitrary line for these people? Do they not realize they can deny any of these upgrades or procedures if they elect to do so? Do they expect it to be mandatory?

Would be nice to meet a few, if any, I've yet to actually meet, or talk to another one, so I'd help me feel a whole lot less alone if at all possible, completely fine if not.

I currently live in salt Lake City and haven't heard back from any employers yet I'd much rather work in the transhumanism space or in agriculture. If you know anyone personally who's working on teleoperated robots or is hiring people for stuff in VR I'd love to hear about it even if they aren't actually hiring. Knowing what's going on is half the battle.

My life as a human being is pretty terrible; poor interpersonal relationships, lack of direct contact with girls (such as: they want to talk to me, for example without any external pressure), a society that is absurd and hypocritical, who have the impression that they have not evolved in their thinking from the level of a monkey (if they think at all) and that the body is weak, defective, primitive and absurd despite its high complexity. If you lie down slightly crooked to sleep, you will feel pain for the next 2 days. Isn't it possible to become a cyborg nowadays? I'm curious if, for example, someone wouldn't like to fund something like Elon Musk, who implanted a chip in some guy's brain. Basically, what could a cyborg from organic organs need? Apart from the brain, eyes (bionic ones have been created, but they do not work yet), part of the circulatory system and the nervous system, i.e. a human being, all that is needed is lungs with a diaphragm to oxygenate the brain, but it could be replaced with a blood oxygenator with a built-in replaceable cylinder with pressurized oxygen. The nerves could be located in the body, which would enable very easy repair of the limbs because, unlike muscles, they do not have to be in the same place, they only need to send a nerve impulse. The organic parts would require significantly fewer nutrients to be delivered intravenously, the same with oxygen. Since I'm not a doctor and my knowledge about the body is standard, don't call me an idiot in any case. Imagine the benefits of this too. You are biologically less demanding, you do not feel uncomfortable external stimuli at the fair price of not feeling pleasant stimuli, you could remotely control various things, for example drones via connection, and thus stand at one end of the world with your eyes on the other end. And by the way, you could be known as the first cyborg who is over 90% machine (yay, xD). What do you think about it, would it be a chance for a failed life, longevity or maybe even a kind of ascending for an organic organism?
