transhumanism is the ideology of people who want to use technology to improve human life (make lifespan longer, prevent disease etc.), those very pretentious guys who freeze themselves after death because they believe revival will be possible in the future
to me its weird. most transhumanists seem to have the mindset that everybody should have these technologies? but at the same time most reject communism?
i think that as technology advances its kind of becoming unavoidable that we will have some people into this for real
like most technological advancements (Space travel, AI) its utopian in communism but hellish under capitalism…
i believe that if we move towards this type of reality, capitalism will do as capitalism does. they might put weird shit in our food or have weird psyops to convince the masses to cut off their legs because they NEED that new biomechanical biotech prosthetics and get in life ruining debt for it (they already do this in the US with normal healthcare…) and then use those without robot parts as the outsiders in the inevitable fascism liberalism turns into
under socialism, people will obviously not be forced into it and you could get the turbo speed wamth+AC robot 15 inch 350 gram c** and b**s set for free or atleast very low prices if you want to ascend your humanity
Personally I think it is very human to live a life from beginning and end. Dying itself is part of the human experience and removing our ability to die to me seems like removing the essence of being human. I like that my life has an end. It gives much more meaning to all the things I am experiencing in my life, because my ability to experience is limited. My life will end. I don’t know when. Realistically within the next 50 years, I guess. I hope to live in a healthy way for as long as possible, but I really do want it to end at some point.
Honestly, I don’t view death as intrinsic to the human condition and as instead humanity’s greatest foil. There is nothing peaceful, honorable, or positive about death and death’s complete and utter separation from humanity would be a positive development.
To me being human is being alive. Something that death interferes with. My meaning comes from the emotions and experiences that I encounter throughout my life, and the threat of a ticking timer spoils things.
i agree and i also think they are wayy too unrealistic about what the human body can truly do. cool prosthetics are fine but more than that quickly turns into atrocities… some monkeys had a brain chip inserted and died. imagine what it would be like for a human to get that nasty infection and die in agony
