I really think that many of these videos which are titled provocatively are designed to promote the music . Why else would they make the music ten times as loud as the speaker to the point that you have to strain to try to hear the content?
okay I m cool with the need for humans to evolve, so we live better, im not cool with creating a slave race that wrks and caters to the elite, where your sexual desire is removed, why does man want to try and play God its playing with Fire, I not down with the posthumanism part either thats what comes after transhumanism, in otherwords a world after humans.
this all seems like the product of extreme insecurity to me. if you want to better yourself, why wouldn't you be proactive and say, oh i don't know, enhance your abilities through education or working out or something natural? oh ya, because you're a bunch of dorks who would rather download a patch into your brain as oppose to earning these improvements through traditional means. pathetic.
We're becoming more and more robot-like. It's ironic how we're becoming that which we're trying to create and perfect. Something which we're trying force to mimic us, and in turn trying to mimmic it in return.
What people don't understand is that when god mad man in his image, the Bible didn't mean that god is some old white guy with a beard sitting up in heaven. What was meant is that he gave us something no other living creature has on this planet. A soul, Consciousness and the ability to create things like god. The only two beings in the universe with the natural ability to create are god and Humans. God inevitably wants us to become like him.
I'm a peaceful Transhumanist with an agenda. My agenda entails fostering a new paradigm of peace, knowledge, enlightening debate in persuit of that knowledge, healthy bodies, long lives, and resparking the spirit of adventure in us by utitilizing the all of this in the quest to explore the frontiers of the cosmos. Sounds like a lot to live for, and it is.
the next 50 years will bring about some of the most fascinating and root lifting discussions of morality, ethics, religion, philosophy, sociology and everything else. everyday people will be hit in the face with questions that only the most innovative philosophers and physicists have been asking for the all the previous history of mankind and more importantly and excitingly we will be definitively answering some of those questions. it will be an extraordinary period.
@ 0:50 "we are going to alter ourselves every bit as much as we have changed the world around us.” His statement illustrates why so many are concerned – we haven’t done a great job with the world thus far. Given our species’ tendencies towards oppression, it’s hard to believe this tech (and its many unknowns) won’t simply provide more effective ways for some to enforce it. It’s hard for me to listen to his apparent lack of caution; short-cuts often seem to end so badly.
the basic question is: are you really happy with your human condition as it is? answering "NO" to this separates the transhumanists from the others. I'm proud to believe that our present human condition is quite shitty (with a bleak outlook too) and if we don't progress soon past this condition through transhumanism, we're all f-cked... cheers!
moral nihilizm will provide enough justification to eliminate as muchh as population desired to rebalance distribution on earth than transhuman capital can be created as a provider for scientific dictatorship in 30 years %80 of todays students children will not be able to have education
Isn't is hysterical how people are led to believe that the same elite that are depopulating would give them any kind of legitimate shot at immortality?
Transhumanism is a another sick joke in an extremely long line of sick jokes that have already been fed to us.
Human immortality is here and always has been, sorry for the late notice... /watch?v=1YwwTtYTIu0
Agriculture is a human invention, but it's not original to humans as I know at least 1 other species that does farm. Would you recommend the wisdom of other species who farm then? What is "right"?
You really don't understand. Do you think flying is impossible? Do you miss the fuedal farming system? No? Then the world of 2300 is no worse than the world today. You're just so stuck on the " norm" that you can't imagine any kind of change or departure. Do you every REALLY wonder what it means to be human? It means to be alive. It means to be conscious. It means nothing more.
Great video, great message. But, I would suggest lowering the music level and then re-uploading. The message should be the forefront of this video, not the music.
Basically what I'm getting at is the knowledge of the systems we r dealing with is growing extremely fast, which greatly affects our ability to create technologies that work really well. And our ability to understand and monitor how our technologies affect our systems will only continue to grow in sophistication. Don't judge humanity on its bad track record. We are so young. We have barely even begun our destiny. We will be the first organism in the known universe that steers its own evolution.
track record when it comes to technologies that interact with our biology. I mean...shoes r a fine technology right...but prescription drugs r more controversial. The reason prescription drugs aren't the greatest is because we do not completely understand the human brain. But our knowledge on the brain is increasing exponentially and the reverse engineering of the brain combined with safe nanotechnology will create brain interactions way more precise and clean than prescription drugs.
Ok first of all. Gregory Stock is by far not the only person who has the view that humans can improve their biology using science and technology. Do you have any idea how many researchers r out there working on new tech that interacts with our biology? And yes we make mistakes, technology is a double edged sword, but civilization always moves forward and with taking in the good and the bad we r always the better from our increase in technological complexity. We so far do not have the best
What the heck do you mean "Transhumanist Agenda" ? O_o Like it's some sort of bad thing?
It's not an agenda, it's just the normal progression of technological advancements. It's nothing more than what humans normally do with technology. An unavoidable certainty.
In a utopian world it would be, but these fucks think they are gods. they rushing in the unknown, i dont trust them and dont want it, thats what i mean. Gregory Stock is a little freak. they cant even get GMO food right for fuck sakes.
No, we don't... and if you weren't stuck in you preconceived notions, you might stop and actually ask us what we think, and not tell us what we think.
@matsutakneatche excuse me, but I don't need your permission for godhood, and the trans-humanist movement is my ticket out of this infested shithole known as humanity.
So dont trust them and dont want it. No one is forcing you to move with the times, you can stay as backwards as you like, and gradually, like all things which fail to adapt, you will become more and more isolated and eventually die out. I dont want this to happen, but this is what you are choosing, because whether you like it or not, you wont be able to compete with technology. You go your way and we wont stop you, and we'll go ours:)
@matsutakneatche Gods? No, we don't think we are gods. We simply believe in human enhancement via technological advancements. What are you using right now? A computer. What does a computer do? It allows to do things you would never have done without it, and it expands your abilities. You are taking part in the transhumanist movement. Like it or not, transhumanism is the way of the future and cannot be halted.
@matsutakneatche They believe in Utopia, but only for themselves. Transhumanist scientists probably avoid GMO food like the plague. GMO is for normal folk. Most everyday transhumanist wannabees are naive, they think they''ll have access to this stuff and they're in for a rude awakening. Extreme inequality will reign supreme in the transhumanist world, and all the benefits of transhumanism will be accessible only to the elites. The nerd technophiles on the internet are blindly walking a plank.
If you build an intelligent pet, say a cat or a mouse, and this mouse becomes incredibly intelligent. Eventually, with exponential technological progression, it's intelligence greatly surpasses you. What do you think will happen? Will the pet overthrow you? Perhaps, perhaps not. Who knows?
There's a vast scientific community that greatly opposes the unknown frontiers of technology, because not knowing is almost as dangerous as "falsely" knowing.
@NikoKun basically we a to be exterminated like you would kill rats eating your grain. would you not be upset if rodents were eating your grain? that is the same anger those that say "we own the world" feel about us. Trans-humanism is a mean to merge human with machine and make human life obsolete. not a remnant of human life will be allowed to survive. Google "mouse pox and air born Ebola" there these are GMO's designed to kill humans.
@mechanicalbu11, If I decrypted that post properly.. I don't think you understand fully what transhumanism is.
Most Transhumanists don't see our future selves (future humans) as gods. And we most CERTAINLY aren't trying to eliminate human life. Quite the opposite.
It's a mistake to classify transhumanists as not human. Nothing could be further from the truth. In reality human ideals and even values, will carry over, even tho the future could seem very different..
@mechanicalbu11, And so what if humans merge with machines? Never mind the scientific term for our species, we will STILL be "Humans", just more 'Digital'.
It's wrong to look at that advancement with fear or disgust, or as if Humans are being exterminated, because it's just not true. At MOST it can be considered an advanced part of the Evolutionary process, or at LEAST simply humans attaching tools to themselves. Nothing about it has anything to do with "killing humans".
@NikoKun suppose a group of humans desires not to embrace technology and prefer to evolve the way God meant it to be. should they be allowed to coexist with the far superior trans-humans? is there room for a 100 percent genetically pure non modified human? as i understand it those in power are hard core Darwinist so there will never be room for those that reject their agenda.

"I don't like this" or "this scares me" isn't a very good argument against transhumanism...
Face it, We're going to have to either evolve in some way, or we will end up destroying ourselves.
BTW no one considers them selves "gods" especially not scientists.
If anything you're the one who's trying to put yourself up on a pedestal, and trying to tear others down (failing epicly i might add!)
Transhumanism FTW.
