  • Not sure you would make a good transhuminist, Seems too much ego and anger, sorry just an objective observation. The whole imortaility of the collective whould be threatend by such. It's still going to be a curupt unfair power structure of silicon with those angry and ego deciding which individuals are backed up and which are not. No hard feelings, don't know you, just ojective viewing.

  • >Every argument to transhumanism is flawed and illogical.

    >Those who oppose transhumanism are immoral and a threat to human survival.

    Que?

  • @SolRosenberg84 I meant to say every argument against transhumanism.

  • Every argument to transhumanism is flawed and illogical. They all rely on stupid appeals to emotion and consequence. Those who oppose transhumanism are immoral and a threat to human survival.

  • @HybridD91

    So,you'd approve o f humans mingling their DNA with beasts,and viceversa?

    I.E.,breeding across species boundaries?

    I never realized so many people were into bestiality until now.

    Sickening.

    Go fuck your house=cat then.

  • @PrinceAntonVoytek you can't have children with a different species. that's what species means.

  • transhumanism ...an attempt to bastardize the human genome with the DNA of lower lifeforms,thus making the resulting creature not truly human,and incapable of being saved by Christ.

    Half=human,half animal,no soul.

  • @PrinceAntonVoytek Biotech and gene manipulation is just one aspect of transhumanism, The vast majority seek to improve the human condition through the use of cybernetics and nanotechnology.

  • You mention that you like the idea of transhumanism, but you doubt that it will reach the public.

    It will, but its a matter of when. Everyone who supports transhumanism should also support life extension technologies so that you can someday reach the era of transhumanism. I have a facebook group called 'life extension should be an important priority' so if you support transhumanism please join my group.

  • You should augment your mind to be less prone to anger and swearing.

  • i can process things at high rates also but my memory is below average lol.And i am quite muscular.I am 6'3 and 226 lbs.I didn't get my iq tested though but i process things at a high rate.

  • Fuck the technological conservatives

  • Comment removed

  • wow, 5 people need tune up in there mouse-clicking arm...

  • Im a music artist... Im a cyberpunk really. Ive always wanted to be a cyborg xD

  • Actualy, you are trying to cover lack of arguments and isecurity with swearing (or you thinck the amazingatheist is cool). Recognace you are just following some sort of image that seems cool (brr).

    Tribalism and sports is not something that just hapens its something we are being fed.

    Ok. I think its cool you build your opinion in relation to something thats out there, but dont buy into anything completely. Transhumanist as a movement is really full of it, take my word.

  • Good video, but a question if I may...

    What is your opinion on Romanticism?

  • yay daft punk

  • You tell 'em!

  • I don't think it'd be possible to get rid of Greed; like you said, you "want to be better". You want to have more.

    The effect of Greed is inherent within all life, it is within the DNA. Why are trees so tall? Because they have to be taller than the other trees if they want to get the most light.

  • Well, there are good sides on transhumanism, but you forgot to mention the bad sides. If we can make a switch in the human brain to make them less violent, then we can also make them more violent, and some creeps out there would certainly want to abuse such a system. Every coin has its two sides like that. Thing is, transhumanism is unavoidable, I think, because technology is so intimately intertwined with humanity these days. Because of that, we'll simply have to adapt to transhumanism.

  • Western civilization would adapt to become more violent, while eastern would do the opposite. What makes me think this is true are the sheer actions expressed by the two different cultures today.

  • @Xadreos orly?

  • you know thier is a highly experimental memory chip already in existance though highly untested it can be inserted into the brain to increase one's permanent memory by 10-12%

  • We have alot of problems. But individuals must take initiative, not the group LEADING THE COLLECTIVE TO A NEW ERA OF PROGRESS.

  • omfg I have loved all your videos and my newest obsession is transhumanism, i search for it and then see that you did a fucking video on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!! Dude thank you. Please keep making vids, can you add me on facebook?

  • It's interesting to think where people will be in the future... transhumanism used to worry me (it scraped against my creep-out intuitions), I know we're likely to end up removing our individuality (Etc) before we're posthuman. I think we'll end up something akin to ants, we'll end up utility monsters.

    Why go back in time when you could go to Iran 8P

  • Great vid. Clever lad.

  • Self improvement is masterbation. Self destruction is the answer.

  • The correct spelling is masturbation.

  • You might want to try some Ginseng and Gingko Biloba: apparently that's good for memory.

    Chinese Gypsies swear by it.

  • Most of the people who support transhumanist thought are not my age.

    Nice attempt at Ad Hominem!

    Also, humans are not perfect - evolution and other examples of bottom up engineering can produce wonderful things, but they are by no means perfect. Why not combine buttom up engineering produced by nature with top down engineering produced by humans?

    We already do this everyday medically - I'm just suggesting taking it to the next level.

  • There's a big difference between curing a disease by killing an invasion of bacteria and redesigning the human species to, for example, give us 2 more limbs.

    I agree: humans aren't perfect. And it's for exactly that reason that I am opposed to the imperfect believing it can perfect itself. It's sheer hubris. Period.

  • O o

    Dont mind me

  • i agree with all transhuman technologies except germ line genetic engineering and maybe nanotech, cuz it can be used to reassemble the whole code of life as well...

  • Mate....u need a woman....lol :P

  • personally i look forward to an intelligent future with less swearing.

  • Dohoho

    Clever.

  • sorry. couldnt resist.

  • @videochick770

    Whoa!, motherfucker! Less swearing? You gotta be shittin' me!

  • The past sucks, why anyone would ever want to go back in time is beyond me. We have advanced so much in just the last 20 years and I can't wait to see what amazing things we will do in the next 20.

  • I am the singularity ^_^

  • Genetic engineering for the win! Also, I'm totally ready to upload my consciousness in digital form.

    Hitchens says it best: "No our problem is this: our prefrontal lobes are too small. And our adrenaline glands are too big. And our thumb finger opposition isnt all what it might be. And were afraid of the dark, and were afraid to die and we belief in the truths of holy books that are so stupid and so fabricated that a child can actually see through them."

  • Hitchens has such awesome quotes!

    I wonder if digital upload would even be possible though - the brain is so dependent on neural transmitters that it would be very difficult to break consciousness down to a completely electrical "software" state.

    And even if you could upload conciousness - wouldn't it be like making a digital clone of yourself unless you integrated the brain into the finished apparatus?

  • Ahahaha

    I agree. Fuck romanticism. And fuck Oscar Wilde too.

    X D

  • What is your IQ?

  • The test didn't give me a number actually - it just said that my abstract reasoning skills were in the 98th percentile range, whilst my memory (especially working memory) was in the 60th percentile range. Aka, I get the big picture, but don't ask me for the details.

    However, those IQ tests online always put me nearby 120.

  • Ah, so besides the online tests, What was the name of the test you took which gave you the percentile for abstract reasoning skills and memory? Or do you not remember?

  • I just found the report.

    I took the WAIS-III, WMS-III, WIAT-II, and the BDI-II.

    As I suspected, my memory cannot be trusted - high abstract reasoning skills is one of my strengths listed in the results, yet was never assigned a numerical value on paper. Altogether, my cognitive function falls in the 87th percentile, with my oral skills falling in the 95th percentile.

    And my working memory really is shit - it is actually in the 42nd percentile.

  • Ah, that sucks. Well, who the fuck needs memory anyways? :P

    When in doubt hope for transhumanism right?

  • Could Transhumanists use a capitalism economic system successfully.

  • Depends on the mental state of a transhuman - if it is too different than an entire new system would have to be created.

  • Dude, ou have the opposite of what I have, I swear It look like I'm going to topple over anytime now because I look like the nutty proffessor on the top, but I have legs like a fuckin olympic runner.

  • I love the tribalism part... I cannot stand sports, when I see people play them I feel like they are dogs... "go get the ball fido!"

  • Its even worse when people defend their favorite team, especially when that team is made of players that are up of bought and traded from around the country, and believe it represents their home town.

    I get an instant headache just thinking about it.

  • dude omfg that's hilarious. i myself have big legs and a slender upper body. i weigh 155 (18) yet my legs make it look like I'm an easy 200. Hence why i wear shorts as much as possible

  • I feel your pain....

  • It appears others share my curse...

  • agreed, i would have more to say but its 11:30 i got skool 2maro
