A few simple propositions for those who oppose Transhumanism

[nebris]

~It is fairly certain that unless humans become a space-faring species, we shall go extinct and very possibly in the not too distant future. See Stephen J. Hawking. Elon Musk, et al

~Baseline Humans [that’s me and thee, folks] do not do well in space. Not at all. Tends to break our bodies down quite rapidly.

~Only deeply modified Humans, both Genetic and Cybernetic mods, have a real chance to survive and prosper in space.

So, it is pretty much go Transhuman or go Extinct. I know which future has my support.

As I tell my students, it is the fate of all species, including ours, to go extinct. However, there is a good kind of extinction, in which our descendants evolve into another species so our genes go on, and the bad kind, in which we disappear without issue. I'll pick the good kind if I can, thank you very much.

Indeed.
