    So We End Up Evolving over time to a race of all wise and powerful god-like creatures playing with the universe though our technology while seeking peace and happiness with each other?

    Sounds good to me.

    Humanism becomes transhumanism, and transhumanism leads to being posthuman. Progressively removing our violent tendencies, turning our biological machinery into mechanical and synthetic machinery, and realizing the summit and heights of our ideals and perhaps even going beyond them to possibilities and virtues yet unimaginable.

    I cannot see how being biological is somehow a bad thing, or a thing to be laid behind.

    I think violent video games may be the symptom, not the cause.

    I play all sorts of games, but violent games rarely appeal to me, especially when the morality of the character(s) you play as is questionable.

    Of course, I can occasionally enjoy violent games without wanting to replicate it in real life, as can other people, but some people cannot.
