Impact Awards: Fall 2011 » Transhumanism – The World’s Most Dangerous Idea. Bookforum - Merging with Machines, on Transhumanism. I am NOT a fan of transhumanism in its most common forms (i.e., downloading consciousness into a computer or some such nonsense). Considering that consciousness is a bodily, culturally, and environmentally embedded process, to think we can have anything resembling human consciousness without a body is incomprehensible to me. Where I think transhumanism is useful is in nanotechnology for tissue repair, fighting viruses and diseases, or performing intra-organ surgeries, and so on. There are also some impressive developments in limb replacement, eye replacement, and even synthetic mesh-based stem cell implants for cartilage repair/replacement. For what little its worth - I have no doubt that at some point, machines/computers will become conscious (the singularity), but it will probably not resemble our own notions of consciousness, which may make it hard to identify when it happens.

What Inanna is referring to (I think) is that the Germans were responsible for a number of inventions and findings during the Third Reich that we take for granted today. well i guess that justifies all the experments Josef Mengele did I never said it justifies anything, and I certainly never felt the need to write it in a heavy font . I was being sarcastic to get my point across, does that mean Nazi Germanys atrocities are the only means to new discoveries ? You're trying to abrogate your responsibility and role in what you think again :3 You brought up Josef Mengele in regards to DNA manipulation.
Pps. Acceler8or. Superhappiness ? Transhumanists as Cabal, Singularity as Revolution. I have a somewhat melodramatic thought about Transhumanism and the Singularitarians: if these movements are as threatening as they would appear to be to so many traditional religious and "liberal" value systems, is this community better served by working very quietly toward their goals? Should transhumanists operate as a kind of cabal, a global uber-elite of scientists and engineers whose work is only made public at the moment of implementation? To put it bluntly: should all the Singularitary theorists (myself included) simply stfu and stop alerting the public to the potentially revolutionary developments that are in the offing?
One of my greatest fears, as I have discussed before, is the onset of a new Dark Age of religious Luddism and anti-modernity. It is quite conceivable that transhumanist research will become outlaw science in the not too distant future. Further Reading: Baily, Ronald Transhumanism, the Most Dangerous Idea?

This documentary reveals a conspiratorial history of how the supposed elite of society have promoted eugenics to cleanse the human population of undesirables through Darwanist ideology. These same wealthy families continue to the present day to use mass media, education, and influencing governments to program and condition people into accepting a controlled society. Transhumanism is the equivalent of modern day eugenics as transhumanists see a world where humans integrate with machinery and computer technology to enhance intellectual and physical attributes and even extend lifespan.
This presentation also points to the Global Strategic Trends report which predicts that, within the next 30 years, the assimilation of humans and machines is inevitable. Those who oppose this transition into a scientific technocracy will be seen as suspicious. One group stands above all others for applauding this convergence. What most people don’t realize is that this concept is not new. Stephen Hawking on transhumanism. Transhumanism « BIOpinionated. Endpoint: Become a Transhumanist or not. In the previous posts Epiphany: Transhumanism, not ? And Diving into Transhumanism I, I have introduced the Transhumanist philosophy as presented on the World Transhumanist Association (WTA) website. This post will look at some examples on how transhumanism translates into real life in the foreseeable future (the quotes are still from the WTA website). Drugs Life-events have little long-term impact; the crests and troughs of fortune push us up and bring us down, but there is little long-term effect on self-reported well-being.
Lasting joy remains elusive except for those of us who are lucky enough to have been born with a temperament that plays in a major key. Artificial intelligence Transhumanism promotes accepting artificial intelligence (AI) and supporting it’s widespread use. Should future forms of artificial intelligence become sentient, they would be entitled to moral consideration. Like in the case of drug use, this is naive in my opinion. 1. Transhumanism. Evangelical Lutheran Theologian Advocates Transhumanism — Logos Apologia.
I recently read Tom Pin It Horn’s article Are Church leaders abdicating the future of man to the Luciferian dead hand of the great planners and conditioners? I’m afraid they are not merely abdicating, some are actually advocating transhumanism! In my research through scholarly theological literature, I discovered a Lutheran based journal Dialog: A Journal of Theology which featured and article “The Animal that Aspires to be an Angel: The Challenge of Transhumanism” by Philip Hefner. In this article, Hefner actually advocates the transhumanist pursuit as a Christian duty. The author is an ordained pastor with the theologically liberal Evangelical Lutheran (ELCA) denomination and retired editor of Zygon: Journal of Religion and Science.[1] Accordingly, his writing exhibits a command of science.
His position seems to be driven by a sincere desire to accommodate human progress and eliminate suffering, yet his conclusions are driven by questionable presuppositions. . , Rom 12:1 ). ). )? The Trouble with Transhumanism. Sometimes an article cuts through the fog of public debate and discourse to capture the true essence of a movement or belief system. Recently, a transhumanist named Kyle Munkittrick posted just such an article at the Discover magazine website, encapsulating in a nutshell everything that is wrong with transhumanism (about which nearly everything is wrong). For those who may not know, transhumanism is a Utopian social movement and philosophy that looks toward a massive breakthrough in technological prowess, known as “the singularity,” that will open the door for transhumanists to “seize control of human evolution” and create a “post human species” of near immortals.
Don’t roll your eyes. Transhumanists believe in their ageless post human future with a desperate passion that borders on—and often serves as a substitute for—religious faith. Not only that, but the movement is getting good press. Panpsychism facts. The Transhumanist and Police State Agenda in Pop Music « Theupliftingcrane's Blog. July 12, 2010 by theupliftingcrane The Transhumanist and Police State Agenda in Pop Music (Highlights) Today’s pop music is filled with symbols and messages aimed to shape and mold today’s youth. Apart from the occult symbolism discussed in other articles, other parts of the elite’s agenda are communicated through music videos. Two of those parts are transhumanism and the introduction of a police state. As seen in previous articles on this site, the world’s biggest stars exploit common themes in their work, permeating popular culture with a set of symbols and values.
The cohesiveness of the message that is communicated to the masses, regardless of the artists’ musical genre, attests to the influence of a “higher power” over the industry. Other articles on this site have explored the way Illuminati symbolism, based on secret society occultism, has been reflected in popular videos. Like this: Like Loading... Thesis « Drugs in Milk. In the past few days, I’ve encountered numerous articles on blogs and forums that announced an alien-coming today. As I’ve also heard there were many people awake waiting for the chance to witness the visitors. The name of the Aliens is Galactic Federation of Light , which we get to know from a seer (my humblest apologies, if the title is, even a bit, amateur). But let’s contemplate a bit. These uncannily repetitive births of uttered news about us being visited must have functions. A function of evoking belief in wanna-believers, who don’t need the énoncé, who are perfectly satisfied with the énonciation (enunciation).
These lacanian concepts, which Jacques-Alain Miller talks about mean the following: as defined by Zsolt Farkas, énonciation is the act of enunciation, while énoncé is the subject of enunciation. As Miller says in his writing, ‘Extimity’: “Lacan studied to prove [...] the presence of the subject of the enunciation does not need the presence of the énoncé “

Superhuman powers are available to common citizenry The nanotechnology of recent decades has conferred powers to citizens that would be considered superhuman by 21st century standards. These upgraded "transhumans" could perform feats regarded as Godlike to denizens of earlier times. A suitably upgraded individual - if transported back to the year 2000 - would be impervious to weaponry and nearly impossible to contain. They could morph their body into a seemingly infinite variety of forms depending on the situation encountered.* If trapped in a maximum security prison, for instance, they could alter their own molecular structure, allowing them to walk through walls.* They could broadcast electromagnetic pulse waves to disable electronic devices, vehicles and other objects.
They could sprint at lightning speed and cross a variety of dangerous terrain types: even molten lava would present no obstacle to them. In many ways, they would resemble a comic book superhero or video game character. On Transhumanism, And Technophobia. Mystery of the Iniquity. This certainly reminds me of the whole agenda which was reflected in the 2012 Olympics. The symbolism and numerology is not rejected by the elite, nor forgotten.

Full text: The Daily Galaxy - Great Discoveries Channel -Your Daily Dose of Awe: Science, Space, Tech: Transhumanism. MIT futurist and author (The Singularity is Near -When Humans Transcend Biology), Ray Kurzweil, has written a fascinating forward to the new book, The Intelligent Universe, by James Gardner.
Kurzweil believes that the explosive nature of exponential growth means it may only take a quarter of a millennium to go from sending messages on horseback to saturating the matter and energy in our solar system with sublimely intelligent processes. The ongoing expansion of our future superintelligence will then require moving out into the rest of the universe, where we may engineer new universes. Kurzweil sums up his mind-boggling tour of the future and Gardner's book with a quote from Muriel Rukeyse, "The universe is made of stories, not atoms," and in his book, "Gardner tells us the universe's own fascinating and unfinished story.
Transhumanism: A Secular Sandbox for Exploring the Afterlife? | Science Not Fiction. I am a scientist and academic by day, but by night I’m increasingly called upon to talk about transhumanism and the Singularity. Last year, I was science advisor to Caprica, a show that explored relationships between uploaded digital selves and real selves. Some months ago I participated in a public panel on “Mutants, Androids, and Cyborgs: The science of pop culture films” for Chicago’s NPR affiliate, WBEZ.
This week brings a panel at the Director’s Guild of America in Los Angeles, entitled “The Science of Cyborgs” on interfacing machines to living nervous systems. The latest panel to be added to my list is a discussion about the first transhumanist opera, Tod Machover’s “Death and the Powers.” The opera is about an inventor and businessman, Simon Powers, who is approaching the end of his life. These experiences have been fascinating.
The media is so saturated with the claim that the Singularity will arrive by 2045 that skeptics are by default on the defensive. So what’s going on? Cafe SETI: Trade stories with other SETI@home users . . . A leading neuroscientist says processing digital information can rewire your circuits. But is it evolution? By Jeneen Interlandi | NEWSWEEK Is technology changing our brains? A new study by UCLA neuroscientist Gary Small adds to a growing body of research that says it is. And according to Small's new book, "iBRAIN: Surviving the Technological Alteration of the Modern Mind," a dramatic shift in how we gather information and communicate with one another has touched off an era of rapid evolution that may ultimately change the human brain as we know it.
"Perhaps not since early man first discovered how to use a tool has the human brain been affected so quickly and so dramatically," he writes.
