INTRODUCTION TO TRANSHUMANISM full lecture

[mliu03]

People are just too stupid. You think put something into your body will transform you into something you are not is a great idea? Maybe, but not now. Maybe 200 years later. Not with evil people like bill gates that is runing everything.

[CalumnMcAulay]

This is only 10 minutes - wheres the rest|?

[alexythimia7]

i agree with vze2yjnt, this is so presumptuous and presuming the roll of God, its plain heresy. people can be aided by devices but that is not trans-humanism, these scientists think they are on the ground level of reality, but its playing into the ideology of the occult elite, man assuming the roll of God. i used to believe in evolution but more recently i have come to a personal understanding that humans are perfect and complete, the only thing degrading them is elitists pushing an agenda.

[vze2yjnt]

Woww this guy doesn't know wtf hes talkin about... "then sex was invented" LMAO are u 12?! his explanation for evolution is sex? i'm not a religious person at all but this transhumanism stuff is straight up DEMONIC.... why is this man completely degrading the human body? the physical human body is an INCREDIBILE machine when you dont eat MCdonalds and genetically altered food ... and we have been taught not to use our "3rd eye" which is the spiritual power we ALL have..

[SkepsisDub]

Who would want to live forever, i think if i had the choice id like to be around for 400 or so years, just to simply witness the technologies of the future.

[Zerkezhi]

@SkepsisDub

I don't know who'd want to live forever; I don't know how our minds (and by that our needs) will change.

But I think it's important to give men a choice; we shouldn't have our lives ruled by a genetic disfunction called "aging".

Death should be a choice. (at least in my book)

I for one wish to live >500y

@everybody

Anyone interested in how a trans-/posthumanist society might look like should read "Schild's Ladder" by Greg Egan.

Might be a tough read for some, but it's so worth it.

[BudPeters44]

what a bunch of lies..this whole video is a lie

[raoorz]

Lets find the cure for boredom!

[SkepsisDub]

@raoorz cannabis

[raoorz]

@SkepsisDub u found the cure!

[rath223]

Viagra ftw!!!!!!!!!

[xMADvDOGx]

transhumanism is the isolation of humanety in technology becaus they cannot handle nature( not 100% corect, i know ), in posthumanism various systems will be able to conect and so create an new realety, same thing as in a dream, that world would not be real, thats the final step of all this posthuman sh*t, complete isolation, isolation is bad,bether try to get out of this world and not creating a new prison

[NickVenture1]

Very nice speech. So many people do not yet even notice the revolutionary process going on these days.. some stillspending their time to murder each other like in the stone ages.. while other humans work in their laboratories similar to a new caste of high priests and elaborating the new way of living for billions of us. Revelutionary was the first controleduse of fire by a living being, a human. Than tools, agriculture, than industry, computers and now the revolution of Genetic engineering !

[Deathrune456]

@NickVenture1

Very nice speech from me? I was going for a mad rant, really.

[NickVenture1]

@Deathrune456 I don't understand, can you please explain me.. thanks, Nick

[Deathrune456]

@NickVenture1

I'd be glad to. Ever since mankind started using tools, we've been using them to surpass the limits of our biology. We are warmer than normal with clothes, we are faster than what our legs would allow ever since the domestication of the horse . I'm saying that this is just the next step, and a perfectly natural direction for mankind to go.

[Thundralight]

This is  control freaks dream come true

[TheDarkSagan]

I swear I had to do a double take. The speaker sounds exactly, dead on like Philosopher Massimo Pigliucci (voice wise).

[TheEvergreen2009]

some smart people believe some really dumb stuff. And this is really, really dumb.

[alexnzxVersion2]

@TheEvergreen2009 You are obviously not very smart. In 4 years maximum they will have artificial livers, then artificial kidneys, hearts you name it. How long do you honoustly think it will take until we reach this stage. You would have to be delusional to think we wont reach this stage by at least minimum the middle of the century.

[tfrenn]

Transhumanism is the name of a movement that claims to support the use of all forms of technology to improve human beings. It is far more than just a bunch of harmless and misguided techie nerds, dreaming of sci-fi movies and making robots. It is a highly organized and well financed movement that is extremely focused on subverting and replacing every aspect of what we are as human beings – including our physical biology, the individuality of our minds and purposes of our lives

[ewkeane]

@xxxxxHavocxxxxx

The lifespan of a human is natural, and destined.

Those creatures that look human, but are not, are called monsters for a reason.

[Deathrune456]

@ewkeane part of what it means to be human is to enhance oneself outside of the limits of our biology. Are people who wear glasses, or use binoculars monsters? Are people who wear cloths monsters? Are people with artificial hearts monsters? Are people who use wheelchairs monsters? Are people who use medicine monsters? This is merely the next stage

[eyhexs]

i foresee an exponential growth in the levels of idiocy in all the people who dont understand this and fear change

[seanotube85]

this piece of shit youtube keeps on stopping the video RIGHT BEFORE he steps to the podium. AND IT'S TOTALLY LOADED TOO!

[buzznandes]

I will give transhumanism and it will be like this:

PURE ECONOMICAL EXPLORATION BY PHARMACEUTICAL

Everyone that is poor will be excluded...and that is really sad

[buzznandes]

Transhumanism is the heaven, but I already see the money making enterpresis exploring ways to make this technology a gold mine.

True transhumanism and humanism will exist when we will be outside this economical machine, like communists.

Otherwise why the hell we want that technology if we still will have poor people ?

[gukonni]

.. use it as a platform for more secretive purposes.

I don't think there's a conspiracy. I think we're in wild times and witnessing incredible development in our knowledge base... this is a time to cheer and support eachother. A lot of problems that we've had in the past are no longer problems, and we're cracking away at the rest of them. Along with these accomplishments our reality grows and new challenges present themselves. And so it goes...

Try to enjoy it. Please!

[NickVenture1]

@gukonni Yes, a revolution is coming and it will be changing the humans and diminuish their sufferings. We will be lucky to live in those days.

[gukonni]

"How about solve the problems of CANCER, POVERTY, FOOD SAFETY, OUR DWINDLING WATER SUPPLIES.

Science is not about solving problems anymore, it's about profits and that is why I will never support GMOs, Cloning or any other biological tampering with the natural order of things. There is no cure for what ails humanity because we caused it ourselves by tampering around with an already PERFECT system."

Are you even listening??? Transhumanism is not evil! Only people who use it as a platform...

[biantai888]

Important: To achieve the true computing potential of the world, we should ensure that Moore's Law also applies to personal computing. It has in the past three decades. However, there is a massive plan to turn personal computers into electronic gadgets with minimal computing power.

If computers are turned into miniature entertainment/shopping/surveil­lance devices, they will not be able to participate in groundbreaking distributed computing projects, such as protein folding.

[watkinscopicat]

arthur c clarke, very famous, very high freemason, very occult sicko, very new world order.

[jmosler9]

aurther c clark was a great man and mind. keep your religious bullshit and conspiracy crap to yourself.

[joru100]

lol, arthur c clarke was a part of a movement that were into things that will eventually lead to the cure for your paranoid schizophrenia

[neothomist1275]

Man's conquest of Nature, if the dreams of some scientific planners are realized, means the rule of a few hundreds of men over billions upon billions of men. There neither is nor can be any simple increase of power on Man's side. Each new power won by man is a power over man as well. — CS Lewis, "The Abolition of Man"

[AMWYESHUASAVESAMW]

No doubt judgment day will be a wake-up call.

Ecclesiastes 3:11

He has made every thing beautiful in his time: also he has set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end.

[kerryoco]

although I don't believe God exists, I do agree that 'no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end.'

To me that entails mapping one's mind, augmented or not, to have representations of every bit of the universe.

It was not God, but Godel, who proved that no system can have a complete representation of itself within it.

[Alliance3k]

thats doesnt make sense...why would a highly creative so-called God, remove the premise of himself..from his own alleged creation..

Religion...the deadliest poison...

[andigomyway]

In the last minute of the video, the man said:

-If you are too tall or too short, too fat or too thin, if you are bold or too hairy, you will be able to solve many of these things...

Ha ha ha! I will show you if I am too short! Small perverse and arrogant elite...

[andigomyway]

A deeply spiritual person who approves an ideology which focuses only on the technology and which avoids completely the most urgent and the most essential work: question our way of thinking and modifying our behavior! Oh... I am impressed by your depth! No joke, a spiritual person knows that there is no problem of overpopulation, only a problem of sharing. You are a true fake interwoven222!

[J187361287]

Spirit doesn't exist. What does is consciousness. Consciousness doesn't have the ability to think. Thinking needs a physical brain. That's why behavior depends on the brain, and to modify our behavior, in a relevant way, we have to modify our brains.

[andigomyway]

For me it is evident that it is the thought which has create the brain (otherwise who or what made it?)and it works marvelously. We just have to fully use it. Why modify a tremendous instrument which we hardly dare to use in 10 % of its capacity? By the way, if Consciousness doesn't have the ability to think, wtf is Consciousness?

[andigomyway]

I modify my behavior by my simple will.

I don't need anyone to play in my brain.

Transhumanism is crazily dangerous...

and it's smell very bad...

[yulske]

actually...overpopulation is quite a problem considering that right now, there are limited resources in the world and not to mention limited space.

[andigomyway]

There is enough of everything for everybody! The problem is that a small elite possesses the biggest part of the world wealth. And for her, it is still not enough! She wants everything! Look at her take advantage of the economic crisis to grab what we still have... Without these thieves who dominate everything, we could share the ressources and use them wisely.

[interwoven222]

I consider myself a deeply spiritual person, and I see no problem with this movement, as long as it is entered with a cautious attitude. Things like this,might be like the internet, you can't sufficently stop it if you wanted.Might be the next step in the evolution of the universe...only problem I can foresee is overpopulation.

[NickVenture1]

@interwoven222 First humans will solve their mortality "problem" and extend their life spans. Than time will be ripe to move to another planet.

[analiasahotmail]

How about solve the problems of CANCER, POVERTY, FOOD SAFETY, OUR DWINDLING WATER SUPPLIES.

Science is not about solving problems anymore, it's about profits and that is why I will never support GMOs, Cloning or any other biological tampering with the natural order of things. There is no cure for what ails humanity because we caused it ourselves by tampering around with an already PERFECT system.

[SilverRedIndigo]

More should be done to determine if Morgellon's Disease is a transhumanism experiment. It has all the, excuse the expression, earmarks of it.

D2

[WTFuSTPD]

I hope ppl will make it impossible.Think about the effects it could have on human biology and evolution.Nanites could enhance the human body.How will they know what to do?They won't know what we don't know..and what we know isn't enough.understand that nanites could make changes in all of us and do irrepairable damage to our bodies,r u rdy to have grandkids who won't be able to live whitout theese things,or to get on the extinct list in a few decades?R we rdy to gamble all away for a shortcut?

[WTFuSTPD]

Eaven if the avarge people would be granted acces to this technology,it would still be out of there control.Sure there are benefits,but who will show u the backside of the coin? history will..couse let's face it sooner or later some1 will use this technology against u,and just think about the posibilities.someone will be able to control your nanites,they could control your mind,make you sick & kill you.. (by controling your mind they could actualy make u kill yourself,and no1 will ever know.)

[skeetereze]

jacksteinhoff is right. People like David Rockefeller and his buddies are the ones who would benefit from this technology.

[tsarcasm666]

IDIOTS 6.5 billion humans, 10 billion by 2030 and we are all going to live forever, BS bullshit! who's paying, god....

[jacksteinhoff]

I really didn't find this video to be all that informative, and it sure doesn't seem like the "full lecture". I think it important to point out that all technology trickles down to the masses only after the government has fully explored it's potential. Do you people really think the average person(poor and middle class)will be allowed to take advantage of nano-tech and/or any of the fantastic ideas transhumanists put forward? Not a chance. Likely it will be the very rich and powerful, not you.

[bxjam85]

I don't know about all of this transhumanist stuff, but I have to disagree with your statement. People said the same exact thing about the internet and now almost everyone in the world has access to it.

[desobasta]

be confident, we are much closer than you imagine

the only delay might be political will to let people have such technologies

[CrazyDragonX]

@wigglestrue

Your aggressive behaviour shows us how "intelligent" you are. You are one of the reasons why its time for us humans to change.

[LLCoolPass]

hello God

[lonecretin]

We'll be long dead before NBIC convergence happens.

[shadnose]

I'm actually a transhumanist activist thanks for lettin me see this

[Bbloodratio]

Wow thx for posting this ...I've been looking for videos like this for ages ....

[reynouts]

Thanks for posting!

Do you have more about this topic? Thanks

[desobasta]

it was posted only partially, this is the integral version till the end

[sparticaldidit]

@desobasta im very worried about government regulation

[thoughtwaretv]

I thought this was already posted? :)

Jose Cordeiro is a very smart guy
