Transhumanism - AI - Robotics

12 Followers

Transhumanism is a philosophical and scientific movement that aims to improve the human condition through the use of technology. Transhumanists believe that humans can evolve beyond their current physical and mental limitations, and that the application of technology will allow humans to achieve this. Transhumanists believe that the use of technologies like genetic engineering, artificial intelligence (AI), nanotechnology, and cryonics will allow humans to: Increase life spans Enhance cognitive and sensory abilities Slow, reverse, or eliminate the aging process Transhumanists envision a future where humans with enhanced capabilities will evolve into a "posthuman" species that transcends humanity. Some examples of transhuman technologies include - Bionic limbs: New generations of sensors are allowing artificial limbs to behave in more human-like ways; Assisted reproduction: Individuals of any sex could reproduce in any combinations they choose; Artificial wombs: Biological wombs would no longer be necessary for reproduction The term "transhumanism" was popularized by English biologist and philosopher Julian Huxley in his 1957 essay of the same name. Source: Goggle A1 Overview ____________________________________________________________________________ Transhumanism is a philosophical and intellectual movement that advocates the enhancement of the human condition by developing and making widely available new and future technologies that can greatly enhance longevity, cognition, and well-being. Transhumanist thinkers study the potential benefits and dangers of emerging technologies that could overcome fundamental human limitations, as well as the ethics of using such technologies.[4] Some transhumanists speculate that human beings may eventually be able to transform themselves into beings of such vastly greater abilities as to merit the label of posthuman beings. Another topic of transhumanist research is how to protect humanity against existential risks from artificial general intelligence, asteroid impact, gray goo, high-energy particle collision experiments, natural or synthetic pandemic, and nuclear warfare. The biologist Julian Huxley popularised the term "transhumanism" in a 1957 essay. The contemporary meaning of the term was foreshadowed by one of the first professors of futurology, a man who changed his name to FM-2030. In the 1960s, he taught "new concepts of the human" at The New School when he began to identify people who adopt technologies, lifestyles, and worldviews "transitional" to posthumanity as "transhuman". The assertion laid the intellectual groundwork for the British philosopher Max More to begin articulating the principles of transhumanism as a futurist philosophy in 1990, organizing in California a school of thought that has since grown into the worldwide transhumanist movement. Influenced by seminal works of science fiction, the transhumanist vision of a transformed future humanity has attracted many supporters and detractors from a wide range of perspectives, including philosophy and religion.[7] In 2017, Penn State University Press, in cooperation with philosopher Stefan Lorenz Sorgner and sociologist James Hughes, established the Journal of Posthuman Studies[10] as the first academic journal explicitly dedicated to the posthuman, with the goal of clarifying the notions of posthumanism and transhumanism, as well as comparing and contrasting both. Despite its professed strong attachment to the values of liberalism and forward-thinking, some critics argue transhumanism is a dangerous resurgence of many discriminatory attitudes and elitist ideals of the discredited eugenics movements of the past.

But why? Do Democratic voters — especially those living in cities or states run by Democrats — ever ask themselves why their political leaders do such an awful job? They do not learn from history. Case in point: Democrats are actively pushing socialism (COMMUNISM), despite the abject failure of statist regimes. No matter how many countries’ economies have struggled or collapsed under communism and socialism, we have Democrats claiming, “It will be different this time.” No, it won’t. They have no sense of economics. Democrats act like they can tax limitlessly. They ignore proof that the money can and does run out. Furthermore, the financial projections for their pet projects are always wrong. Yes, always. And by a huge margin. Medicare. Medicaid. Social Security or Disgrace and Disgusting failure Obamacare. They do not understand business, and they demonize all business as “big business” (as if “big business” is, in and of itself, a bad thing). But most business in the United States is small business. There are about 29 million small firms in the U.S., and about 23 million of those firms have no employees, only owners. Of the remaining 5 million or so that do have employees, 80% employ fewer than 20 people! And most companies — even those that are incorporated — are family-owned or family-controlled. This kind of ignorance matters, not only because we depend upon business for products and services and employment and tax revenues but also because it is wrong to try to turn Americans against their fellow citizens for personal political advantage. They tackle minute issues and leave major problems unaddressed. California can ban plastic straws but cannot seem to do anything about the urine, feces, vomit and used needles on its sidewalks and streets. Their sense of compassion is skewed. Mentally ill and drug-addicted people belong in treatment facilities. But we eliminated mental health facilities because involuntary commitment was deemed uncompassionate. Now cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco have tens of thousands of people living on the streets, where disease and crime are rampant. This is not compassion. The same can be said of Democrats’ push for welfare policies, which growing numbers of black leaders acknowledge have devastated the black family, creating generational poverty, drug use, educational failure and massive incarceration of black men. At what point are Democrats held accountable for the failures of these and other policies? Politicians of all political parties can be stupid, venal and crooked. But as long as the government remains limited and most Americans are free to run their own lives, the impact of political stupidity and corruption can be marginalized. The problem with today’s Democrats is not only that their preferred policies are wrong-headed; it’s that they want more and more control over every aspect of our lives. The more control politicians have, the more their selfishness, stupidity, ignorance and corruption will cripple us. Do not using a little common sense.
