transhumanism « Christopher Schwartz's Weblog Is the real clash of civilizations not really about civilization at all, but the past and future? Since the World Wars, our species has been repeatedly confronted with the horrible visage of our increasingly godlike power. It grins at all of us from behind the emaciated ribs of starved Jews, Cambodians, and Darfurians, with the glare of Hiroshima shimmering across its jagged teeth. Now, what began as a severe crisis of faith in the Europe of the 1920s and 40s has quickly rippled out to encompass every culture and civilization, whether they realize it or not. Confucian and Buddhist peoples have laicized with shocking zeal, not to mention Jews, while Christianity and Hinduism have become hypercapitalist and contradict themselves. Let down as it has been by modernization and globalization, and severely betrayed by its own leadership, few in or out of the Muslim community would dispute that Islam has been particularly hit hard by the ever-expanding spiritual abyss.

transhumanism | devilDroid Thoughts on creating AI/developer empathy through BCI & augmented reality games This is a work in progress. I realize that I need to flesh out my ideas for them to become comprehensive. Still, though, I’d rather publish this now than when it’s perfect, for perfection rarely comes… The primer, from Eliezer Yudkowsky‘s Creating Friendly AI: In a sense, the only way to create a Friendly AI – the only way to acquire the skills and mindset that a Friendship programmer needs – is to try and become a Friendly AI yourself… I realize that this sounds a little mystical, since a human being couldn’t become an AI without a complete change of cognitive architecture… I know of no other way to gain a real grasp on where a Friendly will comes from. The idea is to create a game designed to develop a sense of mutual ai/developer empathy. We need better people. For an AI to truly develop a sense of empathy with humankind, he must develop anthropmorphic thinking. The flesh is not evil. This is intimate.

New Medici | Transhumanism: What Geeks Can Learn From Gurus Robert Tercek – a friend, colleague and futurist – crafted a fascinating how-to on Transhumanism (i.e., “human enhancement”) movement marketing for the recent H+ Summit at Harvard. Robert’s take was how today’s lifestyle gurus – Oprah (Tercek’s recent role was running digital media for her OWN network), Deepak Chopra, Tony Robbins and the like – all drive humanity forward with their respective and well communicated platforms. Subtitled “Lessons for the Transhumanist Movement from the Self Help Industry,” the talk walked through media/culture’s take on transhumanism: from other political movement comparables to mass-culture film memes – 2001, Blade Runner, T2, X-Men, Gattaca, The Island and Brazil – and into other memes like unfair advantages (steroids), hybrid (larger-than-life animals) and into a self help outline (slide 47 onwards) that suggests humanizing the marketing around Transhumanism, so to speak. Below, the outline and slides from the H+ SlideShare page: 1. Make It Easy To Follow

Existence is Wonderful: Neither A Transhumanist Nor a "Pessimist", And That's Okay I didn't realize I hadn't made this obvious, but seeing as I've had two people over the past few weeks refer to me in some way as a "transhumanist", apparently my disconnection from that subculture has gone somewhat under the radar. So anyway. I am not involved in "transhumanism" at this point. I do not call myself a transhumanist anymore. I used to, but then I got tired of the baggage associated with it. I also got really tired of the constant (boring, distracting) arguments over "What is transhumanism?" I actually started feeling cognitive dissonance pretty early on, when I got involved in discussions where it seemed I was expected to dismiss the arguments of, say, disability-rights advocates (who I saw as making really good points) as "disability extremism". But I was up against too much. Mind you, I know that different people are at different points on their individual philosophical existential learning-about-the-world journey. And I am not a "pessimist".

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. 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 ). ). So how can a pastor maintain a straight face and advocate transhumanism? To rationalize his endorsement, he proposes a caveat in the way of a distinction he deems “uppercase and lowercase” transhumanism. A major weakness in his argument is that although he acknowledges human sin, he doesn’t account for it adequately. )?

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.” 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? A great deal has been written about relationships between religion and transhumanism.

Lady Gaga Is Transhuman « Merovee From Alan Watt : Predictive Programming – the power of suggestion using the media of fiction to create a desired outcome . From Wikipedia : Transhumanism is an international intellectual and cultural movement that affirms the possibility and desirability of fundamentally transforming the human condition by developing and making widely available technologies to eliminate aging and to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities. Transhumanist thinkers study the potential benefits and dangers of emerging technologies that could overcome fundamental human limitations, as well as study the ethical matters involved in developing and using such technologies. They predict that human beings may eventually be able to transform themselves into beings with such greatly expanded abilities as to merit the label “posthuman”.
