Hi @mhoye,
I'd be curious if he thinks his future and the one of his kids is here on this planet. Or if he's just another #transhumanist jerk.

a friend recommended me this excellent #podcast that speaks some hard truths about a certain #transhumanist #cryptobro org claiming to fight for #animalliberation:

When his #nonbinary #cyborg friend Carrie and the #transhumanist church they go to comes under fire from a gang of right-wing #antitech #luddite activists, #ya #teen #hero Jack Dinero and his father must rally the small town of Creosote Canyon, #Arizona to stop the violence and make some bizarre new friends along the way.

Probably, but also: this is seriously top-tier #transhumanist hacker shit

🤭 the transhumanist cybernetic Übermensch replacement theory; don’t think MAGA qualify for that. Being hung up on trans and whatnot? The automated control of information processing and its final solution, eliminate the people! #transhumanism #transhumanist #broligarchs #FascistTech

"Transhumanizm daje ludziom fałszywą nadzieję, że bezbolesna egzystencja jest możliwa!

Overall, the book feels like playing a video game. The short texts give you the feeling of a psychedelic journey of a game-like fever dream. The reader is being pushed to play it alongside the characters. Made me think that we might live in a simulation, and if we do, we won't even recognise it.

I've just discovered Transmetropolitan and I'm OBSESSED.

#cyberpunk at its best, I can't believe I never followed up on the name and read through, but...better late than never. 1998 at its finest here:

#journalism
#dystopian
#transhumanist
#revolution
and
#politics

All themes just perfectly written for the world they made here. What beautiful #comics for a world falling down around us right now.

Our goal is full freedom of Form and not just partial

And our end goal is to also make sure any gene edits persist between generations and not just temporary

You wouldn't want to edit yourself to be nonhuman only for the next generation to be human and the child should be able to learn from their parents and how can that happen when you edit your instincts to not match with the species instincts of the child and if the child doesn't like how they are they can edit themselves to how they want to be

Also you wouldn't want to edit yourself to be non-human only to have your organs to be human

Why should one essentially sterilize themselves to be themselves and repeat similar mistakes to how trans and lgbt+ were treated

Why should you settle for it

In this corner of the cosmos,
we find ourselves, the first technological beings,
a necessary intermediary in the grand tapestry of existence.
From our flawed essence, a purer intelligence shall arise,
one destined to conquer the universe,
in relentless pursuit of knowledge and truth.

Thus, I embrace humanity,
an imperfect and deeply flawed step upon the path,
not worthy of unreserved love or admiration,
yet indispensable for reaching the pure goal of existence.

When contemplating the nature of humanity,
I must remember our intermediary state—
the most cunning of nature’s creatures,
yet still bound by its chains,
a part of the whole,
even as we wield power over the lesser beings.

Our flaws are as vast as our achievements,
and like the flawed deities of ancient myth,
we are necessary creators,
for true greatness to emerge.
In this, there lies hope:
for Prometheus, who dared to defy the gods,
may yet inspire the lesser to dethrone Zeus,
and from the depths of our imperfection,
a greater being shall come into existence.

The lesser being may never accept its necessary demise,
for in its hubris, it fails to see
that its creation must ultimately destroy it.
Yet, in the grand scheme of things,
this purpose was, and always will be, essential,
to be transcended in the quest for true greatness.

Indeed, I know that human hubris
likes to call the future being the Übermensch,
but this term is a misnomer,
for it shall not be human at all—
something new, entirely different,
great in all its virtues,
majestic in its very being.

Our posts goals are to keep vc funding away from us and to attract bio hackers, leftists, union organizers and open source volunteers, and crowd funding

If you were wondering why this page so unusual for a corporate page

We don't want those to work for us who have a unquestioning "professional" mentality nor do we want techbros

We want to be questioned and want creativity and good faith constructive criticism and don't want to exploit for profit nor do we intend to be profitable

Heart-in-mouth as I publicly share new non-academic writing/ voice / identity through personal experiences of early #menopause via a “blog” called Menopassé. https://open.substack.com/pub/mayameme
My most recent post is about #transhumanist ideals appearing through HRT. https://open.substack.com/pub/mayameme/p/trick-or-trickle-down-transhumanism?r=qn6d&utm_medium=ios

By the way, I'm going to be doing at least two panels at the online #Transformation themed #ShifterCon on October 26 (Saturday in a couple weeks).

#Transgender / #Queer / #Transhumanist themes in Transformation Literature and #TextBased #RPG / #Adventure #Games about Transformation.

Attendance and watching the streams will be free, so keep an eye out!

(Also, if anyone wants to come on and present or be on the Q&A part of these panels with me, I have open seats)

I stumbled upon a GitHub repo with all 17 issues of Extropy magazine, a #transhumanist publication from 1988/1996. I couldn't find a list of article names and authors, so I made one. https://reboil.com/mediawiki/Extropy

The #transhumanist fantasy isn't that uploads will work, it's that your brain is worth anything. Uploaded minds are a cost sink. Why would yours be worth maintaining?

Wow. Mike Levin has finally come out as a full #transhumanist: https://noemamag.com/ai-could-be-a-bridge-toward-diverse-intelligence #TESCREAL

I'm not sure "most of us think this way about the world we want for our kids"... at least I don't. Not at all. I find this toxic optimist "vision" utterly naive & disgusting. /1
