@Ai'la Ashworth You're not wrong... but I do have my concerns. I just hope that the new technologies we will discover in this field will be used by the right people and approached carefully.
How so? What do you mean by right people benefit way more from it? I would much rather die (but I'd rather be raptured) than to become a machine or live forever.
@@MewMewYu1 it won't. Once on the market, technology is pure coercion. Let alone something that will "enhance" humans for a cheap price. And let alone the ethical and estetical implications, it will cause new terrifying scarcity issues.
I rather grow spiritually in evolving my consciousness than be a machine … they want to take our lives and preserve our conscious minds for their own gain

+ghostofdayinperson It's horrible. If we cured aging we'd get so much further. Imagine if we still had Tesla, Einstein, Gauss and Feynman? Aging must be stopped.
The thing is; maybe we have something like a soul. But I think that biology is a very good explanation for our existence and our consciousness and in the end, faith is born to give people hope while faced with death - and if death is no more, no one would have the need for faith. In the future, we will not just become smarter in ways beyond our physical comprehension, no we or our descendants will literally rival what some of us describe as "gods". We will be godlike. Immortal, all-knowing, beyond anything that makes us human.Sure, I wouldn't want to lose my humanity but the idea that I have a soul is a small price to pay for an everlasting life.
Sarif was right about one thing. It's in our nature to want to rise above our limits. Think about it. We were cold, so we harnessed fire. We were weak, so we invented tools. Every time we met an obstacle, we used creativity and ingenuity to overcome it. The cycle is inevitable... but will the outcome always be good? I guess that will depend on how we approach it. These past few months, I was challenged many times, but more often than not, didn't I try to keep morality in mind, knowing that my actions didn't have to harm others? Time and time again, didn't I resist the urge to abuse power and resources simply to achieve my goals more swiftly? In the past, we've had to compensate for weaknesses, finding quick solutions that only benefit a few. But what if we never need to feel weak or morally conflicted again? What if the path Sarif wants us to take enables us to hold on to higher values with more stability? One thing is obvious. For the first time in history, we have a chance to steal fire from the gods. To turn away from it now - to stop pursing a future in which technology and biology combine, leading to the promise of a Singularity - would mean to deny the very essence of who we are. No doubt the road to get there will be bumpy, hurting some people along the way. But won't achieving the dream be worth it? We can become the gods we've always been striving to be. We might as well get good at it. - Deus Ex Human Revolution
Birth control (cyborg feminism) was the first trans human experiment, what it ushered in was nothing less than moral bankruptcy. It altered gender relations to a point that humans may never fully understand and if you ask women today for the most part the utterly regret it. Cyborg feminism and how it changed feminism of care which was utterly defeated by feminism of freedom because of this trans human approach has not only damaged women (hook up culture) but men aswell. I don't think trans human anything is the right approach. Life for humans as conscious beings is already a shit deal,why extend the heartache? You had no say in how you got here, and you have no say in how and when you die. Why play God, this collapsed the feminist movement and it ushered in trans men and women merely from birth control alone. What else have we not realised about just how dangerous tran humanism cyborg feminism is. It's completely changed the human race, declining growth rates in almost every country. I don't share your sentiment
Good question; people actually talked about this rather extensively already; basically, it can be argued that despite not experiencing something bad, we still value things such as fresh air; something that is extremely rudimentary. You don't have to die to want to live and in a world without sorrow, happiness will not be any less appreciated. When you fall in love, the experience, for example, is pleasant no matter what your previous experiences were. And in the end, even happiness is just a chemical reaction.
Plenty of people who don't experience a lot of sadness in life are happy. Plenty of people who experience a lot of sadness never are. It's a false choice.
As long as the human heart is evil and not changed all of the great things this world has to offer would still lead to emptiness and not lead us to true happiness. That is only granted by God Himself through the Lord Jesus.
I've been thinking the same thing, but logic seems to dictate that for the instance that is copied it would, then both would become different directly after as both the clone and I would experience life in different ways. That sounds right lol.
+The Incredible Hulk Human thoughts and actions are the result of internal AND external inputs therefore in order for two cloned humans to act alike they would have to possess both the exact same physical and chemical form (a clone) and experience the EXACT same inputs from their five senses.
+Shadowzeeb This is because our brains constantly change the way they interpret new inputs based on what we see, hear, smell, etc. throughout every second of our lives
Amen, it's completely demonic. The Bible is clear, it is appointed to man to die. Nothing will ever change the Word of God Almighty & what Jesus Christ did on the cross, HE already defeated hell, death and the grave through salvation. GOD NEVER TOLD US TO MERGE WITH MACHINES, ONLY HIM!!!!

+C. Wayne 1: People will not cease to die there are always accidents, wars, diseases and other ways to die even if biological aging is under control. Population metrics have shown that birth rates have fallen as people live longer, this applies to every society on Earth regardless of culture. Also technology is arriving to mitigate overpopulation plus space colonizing is a real possibility to address the problem too. 2: Highly unlikely and even if they do sooner or later they will get killed, no matter how superhuman you are it wont stop you being assassinated if you act in a way that merits it.
+C. Wayne The population growth is already dropping below replenishment rate in some countries, like Japan. Overpopulation won't be an issue. As for psychopaths getting superhuman properties, that just means that we need to make sure good people get them too.
Thank you for your comments, Steve, Corvid. Unfortunately, population growth in places like China, India and Africa demonstrate that enormous environmental damage is done before the rate levels off. It only took one Stalin, one Mao Tse Tung and Hitler without superhuman powers to exterminate 10s of millions, Someone like them or Idi Amin with enhanced powers could do so much worse. Had Stalin enjoyed another 20 years, the world would have been in horrible shape. For this and other reasons, I remained convinced of my original conclusions.
There is a constant trend in the world demographics called demographic transition. As country develops, it always gets to lower death and birth rates. That's why overpopulation is problematic in developing world and low birth rates are observed in all of developed world. In an insanely advanced civilization of the future, overpopulation will not be problem. As for the psychopaths, that could be suggested about any kind of weapon ever developed by humanity - any device that would give psychopathic individual an advantage over weaker victims. Still, society will ever strive to regulate destructive tendencies and oppose destructive individuals just like we have for our entire existence as homo sapiens.
@3 2 I read somewhere that the 1% will not be tortured, 3% will be the law enforcement and elite and the rest of us unwashed masses with be the sheep. Who knows how true this is
@3 2 I picked up a really good book on this subject. Entitled “War Against the Weak” by Edwin Black. The eugenics program started at the beginning of the 20th Century has only become digital. They use the exact same phraseology and refer to targets using the same adjectives. It’s clearly a continuation of the U.S. eugenics program from the beginning of the 1900’s. The book is so disgusting that I can only process about 4-5 pages at a time. I get sick to my stomach.
As of now, with current expectancy (don't let them to lie it to be age 70 now), the currency manipulation goes like this: "th-cam.com/video/mQUhJTxK5mA/w-d-xo.html -- Who Controls All of Our Money? American debt does." What would be future deception? Haa haa haa haa.
Ageing isn't a disease, it's a gift. The notion of downloading our consciousness is fascinating - but I suppose for transhumanists, they're not tied to the idea that being in a mortal human body is an integrity worth preserving. I think at the end of the day, no matter how advanced humans think they are, nature will always triumph in the end - and we're seeing that now as humans are steering the race towards irreversible climate change damage... Also, who would want to live in a world where Jeff Bezos is immortal?
Why is having a body necessarily better than not? Our bodies are limited by biology. Also, if we simply live as information in a perfect communist state by AI, Jeff Bezos and other elites will no longer have power.
@@ShiroIsMyNamethe Bible tells us otherwise!!! They will seek death and not find it! If you want eternal life then be a follower of Jesus Christ and if you are good and follow His law then you will have it.
Someone alive today will still be alive in 2160, according to many statistics. I mean, even assuming there are no massive changes in life expectancy, even I have a 25% chance of reaching the age of 100. We are getting surprising close, especially when you realise there are many people today who will live in three centuries. Millions of them, in fact. Hopefully I will be one of them. And this isn't entirely something which will only happen in the richest countries. For all the bad press poor countries get, the average life expectancy across the globe is about 70. Yes, many countries are lower than that, but I think it's a credit to humanity that we are the first organism to extend life so massively. From the dawn of time until the Industrial Revolution, life expectancy remained almost constant. We have come further in the last 50 years than in the 50,000 before that.
+Adam Taylor I feel that I will live to see the time, you know even doe they will try to overprice it, I think actually humanity will have to make it a human rights issue and not something that should be sold at high prices. And with that it will be inexpensive to live forever. I think capitalism is to pro money. There need to be a human side to capitalism if it is going to continue. Present the evidence to use how expensive it is to make the treatments and we allow government to drop taxes and other things to allow it to be affordable so the business man can still profit but not profit like a mad man. It is stupid in a world that claims to be civilized to have people be multi-billionaires and yet we still allow them to take advantage of the less fortunate just to get richer. This is something that seriously needs to be addressed. Also the general population need more say in the affairs of their governments. We need to be able to have a say and not just a few people who are supporting their own interest or people interest with money in their policies. We are smart enough to allow more effective systems of governance by allowing people to make decisions that regards us and not support only the rich, who has enough. It is time the poor start benefitting from our hard work. And we need to be the generation that push for this reality. If we don't demand it they will never feel a reason to give it to you.
@@AllThingsAnime2 And you are basing this on what? Technology is advancing at an exponential rate, especially bioscience and neuroscience. Combined with intelligent AI that can deduce the root causes of medical problems and formulate a proper cure, I could easily see even Gen X'ers and maybe even a few, more healthy Baby Boomers making it to the year 2150. That is, of course, unless we kill ourselves off somehow. When people die of "old age", they're not dying because of age. They're dying because of diseases and illnesses that pervade old age due to the body weakening. Figuring out how to stop cellular senescence and perhaps even replacing organs/tissues with superior, synthetic parts would easily add decades, if not centuries to a person's lifespan. There are already creatures that have evolved to live for centuries if allowed. History has shown that we can use technology to surpass biological limitations.

That triggers the question of self. If you could simply change your appearance whenever you want, you could lose sense of "individuality". Psychology shows we need to relate ourselves to caracteristics that are "ours" (so not changing). And philosophically having a cyber-body would make you think differently (structures of representations, thinking, comprehension, senses), maybe in a way in which you would no longer be able to have normal interactions with people.

This targeting is a Live Chess Game of hunting & haunting that has the world as its boundary, there are (targeted)soldiers, and these controlling gangs play bishop, horse, elephant, queen, minister etc."
That's part of the issue - society isn't perfect but what if dictators stop dying? What if we don't fix our issues? That is why it is tremendously important to be aware of the issues our world faces. We need to solve the most severe ones rather sooner than later because we might not get to in the future.

Mapping our minds into a digital state doesn’t seem like immortality for myself. I’m allowing a consciousness to take off and live forever from where I left off. It’s like making a copy of a file on a pen drive. It’s just a copy not the actual file. If mapping my mind does literally involve taking the me part of my mind and putting it into a computer maybe then I would consider myself immortal.

You can think of it this way. If you can map and copy a person's consciousness without killing this person in the proccess, then one would assume you just duplicated your personality. You could see how you would be able to interact with your digital self and realize, you didn't transfer. You made a copy. You would have transferred and not only copied if you could map the brain in a way that the digitized self can feel what the body feels and vice-versa. Then you would have upgraded/merged yourself with the machine, not simply made a copy in binary code of your thought pattern. I still have this "outdated" idea that somehow our brain and nervous system has some ineffable relationship with a soul/spiritual healm, and we might want to preserve that somehow. @@lucasdoherty6139

The label of "human" is highly overrated. And I think most people already realize that at some level. Consider this -- if you are a fan of fantasy-movies like, say, Lord of the Rings. If that universe had been real, would you be racist against dwarves, halflings or elves just because they weren't humans? Would you say it would be okay to discriminate against them? Setting in place systems like "dwarf apartheid" or something? Most likely, you wouldn't. Or at least I hope you wouldn't. What matters is what's going on in your mind, not the physical shell your mind inhabits.
RobbedCrowd What is humanity? Life is nothing more than an experience of a subjective reality within a meat bag that reacts to stimuli. Transhumanism is the artificial continuation of that experience. What do you truly lose in such a transition?
+Ravall S: It is NOW, yes. However, let's assume that we reach a point where it no longer has to be, either via means of replacing most of our natural body with synthetic material, brain transplants, or transference of conciousness into a computer. At that point, that is no longer the case. And if and when that day comes, why should I then be attached to my current, biological body? Especially if I can get something better?
Transcending one's biology =/= losing one's humanity. Our unique brain architecture is what makes us human, and a human brain is a human brain - irrespective of the substrate it's running on.
@Christina Christina i don't believe in god but i do hope there is something after dead, (Not hell or heaven) and that we (Our consciousness) is the whole universe, we are the universe and we are the universe expriencing itself.
I like the idea of immortalization(well pseudo) having to volunteer to die than sudden death seems more logical. To me aging is cells dying thus failures of organs and decipation of tissues. I don't like the idea of transfering memories to a machine though or cloning. I like the idea of getting nano machines instead to help the body, thus giving us more time to evolve.
Evolution is not done synthetically..out of all the great intelligent civilizations in the universe not one is synthetic..advanced species use tech. they dont become it..transhumanism is un natural..you seen the borg on star trek..look what happened to them....
Unless you lose your brain. The new global goal seems to be losing brains in some fancy socalled consciousness stuff and then make you pure body, so you can move and consume for ever. You do not have to worry about nightmares anymore, because probably humans will lose their brains at all, and before we realize it we have become something else. There are animals that digest their brains, because it looks like we can survive without it.

No, that is the discussion we need. Some people will want to do exactly that, abandon our humanity altogether and live as gods. We need to decide what path we will want to take - and we need to do it now. I mean, look at stuff like the EU - a transnational alliance system born out of necessity. That will become normal all over the globe due to superpowers like the US and China making nationalism invalid for most nations and eventually lead to a world where we have just a single government - the issue? We will need to decide what kind of "people" or machines will lead us and if we mess up, the consequences could literally doom humanity.
I'm just going to give my two cents on the topic. To the people against transhumanism, I ask you a question. What is the purpose of life? It's to grow. Every life form, animal, plant, fungi, bacteria, etc. It's purpose is to develop and grow and improve. Transhumanism is just an aspect of that. You might say it's "unnatural" but so is alot of other things we have today. Anything with artificial chemicals in is "unnatural" but that doesn't make it inherently bad. Just my opinion guys
That's because for most people, ignorance is a bliss. But that doesn't mean that the population should be treated like stupid.. and forcing something against someone's will? Sounds like a perfect recipe for a blowback. Imagine if you had a crush and you kidnap her, and you tell her that it's best for her. Not gonna end well right? Unless her name is 'Siri'.. And transhumanism is an uncharted territory. Shit can happen. Playing with the mind isn't something to be taken lightly.

Outlawing aging sounds like outlawing reality. Transhumanism may be possible at some level but it will be completely different from being human. The connection between our brain and body is currently what makes us human. Would we still be human if our consciousness exists outside of our body?
If we can replicate the human brain and duplicate our consciousness then we would essentially be immortal. Should human consciousness be immortal? Where did our consciousness come from and where is it going? This Transhumanism movement looks to me like a way for humanity to finally move beyond the physical bounds of this body and planet and go out to learn what what we can in the universe. Our consciousness is limited by our physical body. If we had other senses availbe to our brains we could have new information and an enhanced consciousness. Is our consciousness attempting to find its creator in this universe? If we do will it be like a tadpole finding it's mother or more?
Consciousness cannot be recreated, THINGS they will make will just be good copies, consciousness is beyond our reach.Humans are becoming obsolete and elites want world for themselves only and rest of us will be just robot slaves to them while they think they will become omnipotent like God. They will try to do it but they won't succeed, because God won't allow it. Evil cannot outshine good.

for someone to embrace transhumanism is an admission that they hate and fear life. and they will never be happy until they die or erase all form of life. can you imagine rushing to embrace the borg?
+Ray Miller Unless as seems likely death is just the end of all experience. And I don't see how that would be such a great adventure. And why do religious people say not dying would get boring when they usually envisage an eternity of living with Jesus (or having sex with virgins in the Muslim paradise) ? Isn't it hypocritical to criticise transhumanists for wanting to find practical ways to live forever as opposed to just hoping for it?
This paints a weird picture of transhumanism, makes the whole ideology look like a bunch of sweaty Star Wars fans trying to make their fiction come true.

The thing is; maybe we have something like a soul.
But I think that biology is a very good explanation for our existence and our consciousness and in the end, faith is born to give people hope while faced with death - and if death is no more, no one would have the need for faith. In the future, we will not just become smarter in ways beyond our physical comprehension, no we or our descendants will literally rival what some of us describe as "gods". We will be godlike. Immortal, all-knowing, beyond anything that makes us human.Sure, I wouldn't want to lose my humanity but the idea that I have a soul is a small price to pay for an everlasting life.

@@arturmatik If that means I don't have to die I will take my chance with whatever you may consider a god.
Sarif was right about one thing. It's in our nature to want to rise above our limits. Think about it. We were cold, so we harnessed fire. We were weak, so we invented tools. Every time we met an obstacle, we used creativity and ingenuity to overcome it. The cycle is inevitable... but will the outcome always be good? I guess that will depend on how we approach it. These past few months, I was challenged many times, but more often than not, didn't I try to keep morality in mind, knowing that my actions didn't have to harm others? Time and time again, didn't I resist the urge to abuse power and resources simply to achieve my goals more swiftly? In the past, we've had to compensate for weaknesses, finding quick solutions that only benefit a few. But what if we never need to feel weak or morally conflicted again? What if the path Sarif wants us to take enables us to hold on to higher values with more stability? One thing is obvious. For the first time in history, we have a chance to steal fire from the gods. To turn away from it now - to stop pursing a future in which technology and biology combine, leading to the promise of a Singularity - would mean to deny the very essence of who we are. No doubt the road to get there will be bumpy, hurting some people along the way. But won't achieving the dream be worth it? We can become the gods we've always been striving to be. We might as well get good at it.

Birth control (cyborg feminism) was the first trans human experiment, what it ushered in was nothing less than moral bankruptcy.
It altered gender relations to a point that humans may never fully understand and if you ask women today for the most part the utterly regret it.
Cyborg feminism and how it changed feminism of care which was utterly defeated by feminism of freedom because of this trans human approach has not only damaged women (hook up culture) but men aswell.
I don't think trans human anything is the right approach. Life for humans as conscious beings is already a shit deal,why extend the heartache? You had no say in how you got here, and you have no say in how and when you die. Why play God, this collapsed the feminist movement and it ushered in trans men and women merely from birth control alone.
What else have we not realised about just how dangerous tran humanism cyborg feminism is. It's completely changed the human race, declining growth rates in almost every country.
I don't share your sentiment
A life where there is no sadness, is there really happiness?
Good question; people actually talked about this rather extensively already; basically, it can be argued that despite not experiencing something bad, we still value things such as fresh air; something that is extremely rudimentary. You don't have to die to want to live and in a world without sorrow, happiness will not be any less appreciated. When you fall in love, the experience, for example, is pleasant no matter what your previous experiences were. And in the end, even happiness is just a chemical reaction.
You can’t appreciate one without the other
Yeah. Heaven. The afterlife. Humans are just passing by here and we have free will and the ability to research and find this out.
Plenty of people who don't experience a lot of sadness in life are happy. Plenty of people who experience a lot of sadness never are. It's a false choice.
As long as the human heart is evil and not changed all of the great things this world has to offer would still lead to emptiness and not lead us to true happiness. That is only granted by God Himself through the Lord Jesus.
It's about time they figured out that consciousness is what matters and worth preserving in this vast universe of ours.
***** Good question....I don't know.

This raises big issues. 1. If people cease to die, how do we handle overpopulation? 2. What if psychopaths obtain superhuman qualities?
+C. Wayne 1: People will not cease to die there are always accidents, wars, diseases and other ways to die even if biological aging is under control. Population metrics have shown that birth rates have fallen as people live longer, this applies to every society on Earth regardless of culture. Also technology is arriving to mitigate overpopulation plus space colonizing is a real possibility to address the problem too. 2: Highly unlikely and even if they do sooner or later they will get killed, no matter how superhuman you are it wont stop you being assassinated if you act in a way that merits it.
+C. Wayne The population growth is already dropping below replenishment rate in some countries, like Japan. Overpopulation won't be an issue. As for psychopaths getting superhuman properties, that just means that we need to make sure good people get them too.
Thank you for your comments, Steve, Corvid. Unfortunately, population growth in places like China, India and Africa demonstrate that enormous environmental damage is done before the rate levels off. It only took one Stalin, one Mao Tse Tung and Hitler without superhuman powers to exterminate 10s of millions, Someone like them or Idi Amin with enhanced powers could do so much worse. Had Stalin enjoyed another 20 years, the world would have been in horrible shape. For this and other reasons, I remained convinced of my original conclusions.
Make immortality require sterilization.
There is a constant trend in the world demographics called demographic transition. As country develops, it always gets to lower death and birth rates. That's why overpopulation is problematic in developing world and low birth rates are observed in all of developed world. In an insanely advanced civilization of the future, overpopulation will not be problem. As for the psychopaths, that could be suggested about any kind of weapon ever developed by humanity - any device that would give psychopathic individual an advantage over weaker victims. Still, society will ever strive to regulate destructive tendencies and oppose destructive individuals just like we have for our entire existence as homo sapiens.

We are getting surprising close, especially when you realise there are many people today who will live in three centuries. Millions of them, in fact. Hopefully I will be one of them.
And this isn't entirely something which will only happen in the richest countries. For all the bad press poor countries get, the average life expectancy across the globe is about 70. Yes, many countries are lower than that, but I think it's a credit to humanity that we are the first organism to extend life so massively. From the dawn of time until the Industrial Revolution, life expectancy remained almost constant. We have come further in the last 50 years than in the 50,000 before that.
+Adam Taylor I feel that I will live to see the time, you know even doe they will try to overprice it, I think actually humanity will have to make it a human rights issue and not something that should be sold at high prices. And with that it will be inexpensive to live forever. I think capitalism is to pro money. There need to be a human side to capitalism if it is going to continue. Present the evidence to use how expensive it is to make the treatments and we allow government to drop taxes and other things to allow it to be affordable so the business man can still profit but not profit like a mad man. It is stupid in a world that claims to be civilized to have people be multi-billionaires and yet we still allow them to take advantage of the less fortunate just to get richer. This is something that seriously needs to be addressed. Also the general population need more say in the affairs of their governments. We need to be able to have a say and not just a few people who are supporting their own interest or people interest with money in their policies. We are smart enough to allow more effective systems of governance by allowing people to make decisions that regards us and not support only the rich, who has enough. It is time the poor start benefitting from our hard work. And we need to be the generation that push for this reality. If we don't demand it they will never feel a reason to give it to you.

That triggers the question of self. If you could simply change your appearance whenever you want, you could lose sense of "individuality". Psychology shows we need to relate ourselves to caracteristics that are "ours" (so not changing). And philosophically having a cyber-body would make you think differently (structures of representations, thinking, comprehension, senses), maybe in a way in which you would no longer be able to have normal interactions with people.

I don't agree on being happy all the time, but what you're saying is inherently unscientific what causes people to become bored from repeated activities or people to become less happy by doing the same things all has to do with the structure and function of the way our neurons behave alter the interaction and the way that I would function is completely different

I don't like the idea of losing our humanity, I think a neural lace and improving upon a normal body would be a better idea than going virtual
The label of "human" is highly overrated. And I think most people already realize that at some level.
Consider this -- if you are a fan of fantasy-movies like, say, Lord of the Rings. If that universe had been real, would you be racist against dwarves, halflings or elves just because they weren't humans? Would you say it would be okay to discriminate against them? Setting in place systems like "dwarf apartheid" or something?
Most likely, you wouldn't. Or at least I hope you wouldn't.
What matters is what's going on in your mind, not the physical shell your mind inhabits.
RobbedCrowd What is humanity? Life is nothing more than an experience of a subjective reality within a meat bag that reacts to stimuli. Transhumanism is the artificial continuation of that experience. What do you truly lose in such a transition?
+Ravall S: It is NOW, yes. However, let's assume that we reach a point where it no longer has to be, either via means of replacing most of our natural body with synthetic material, brain transplants, or transference of conciousness into a computer. At that point, that is no longer the case.
And if and when that day comes, why should I then be attached to my current, biological body? Especially if I can get something better?
Transcending one's biology =/= losing one's humanity. Our unique brain architecture is what makes us human, and a human brain is a human brain - irrespective of the substrate it's running on.
Ditch the flesh keep the mind.
God has already provided eternal life
Amen!
yeah sure
@Christina Christina i don't believe in god but i do hope there is something after dead, (Not hell or heaven) and that we (Our consciousness) is the whole universe, we are the universe and we are the universe expriencing itself.

@@someaipretendingtobehuman3157 the only way you would think like this is if you are a dummy that got brainwashed by darwinian evolution bs.
I like the idea of immortalization(well pseudo) having to volunteer to die than sudden death seems more logical. To me aging is cells dying thus failures of organs and decipation of tissues. I don't like the idea of transfering memories to a machine though or cloning. I like the idea of getting nano machines instead to help the body, thus giving us more time to evolve.

Woof Grung for you maybe. I'd like to see how the universe ends.
Unless you lose your brain. The new global goal seems to be losing brains in some fancy socalled consciousness stuff and then make you pure body, so you can move and consume for ever. You do not have to worry about nightmares anymore, because probably humans will lose their brains at all, and before we realize it we have become something else. There are animals that digest their brains, because it looks like we can survive without it. As my mean is totally neutral on the subject, I hope some creepy scientist will not copy my words and go make those cyborgs right now, lol.
Theres something after the " death " so we live forever

Eternal life is a curse
This is what happens when you separate church from state .
Fearing death is natural and up until now, was a required evolutionary trait for a success species on earth.
I just wanna live forever cause I’m so excited for what the future could bring if humans come together and work on spreading through out the galaxy and universe
Me too. See human try to figure out unknown or create new things are enjoyable. I love human because they’re never stopped develop. We’re an infant in our galaxy . And there’re a lot of galaxies out there to explore.
But they won't, we never do, immortality will just bring about new problems that will divide humanity and will result in more horrific events. Human nature doesnt change, the scenarios in which it shows do, might as well stay mortal instead of being a dreamy naive
@@fafh01 you won’t be human that’s the point, they are looking for trans humanism, posthumans, implanting technology into your brains, they already been doing experiments on how to implant certain animal like abilities such as seeing things at different frequencies that humans can’t see into the human brain, by the time any of the stuff you mentioned happens there will be no need for your average human, ai will be too intelligent at that point for any use of human and the only descendants of humans left will be those who have been merged with technology, most likely the offspring of elite billionaire families, not the average member of the public, these are not theories also the research for this have been funded for almost ten years now
@@jamie193h exactly we only evolve technologically, this isn’t human evolution it’s devolution, the more advance in technology the less we need to use our brain, look at Alexa from Amazon, we can’t even be bothered to search things ourself anymore instead we ask a machine to do it for us, slowly becoming more useless
living forever... obviously the elites don't want the whole world population to live forever. All elites (ie bill gates) like transhumanism but also eugenics. They just want themselves to be immortal, they think they are gods and that we are nothing but pawns that are disposable.
The price of living forever has already been paid for. Yet, many won't believe.
Go guys. Make the future marvelous. All this shit we have to deal with today could be replaced by a universe that consists of pure joy and experience. No limits, no death, no injury, fatigue, illness or consequence. No fight for resources, no religion, no greed. First artificial then real. Once we have figured out how to solve every problem we can create a universe buzzing with life, love, magic and wonder. It could all turn out better than we could ever dream of simply because what we think of as happiness today is nothing compared to whats actually possible.
Nagaserpent Killer For you probably.
sir what you're describing already exist in the afterlife. "Heaven" or "Paradise" whatever you call it is a reward prepared by God for those who believe in his books and messengers.
This will never be accomplished within this universe let alone this measly planet we live on. This life is only a test designed by God. Pass you go to Heaven fail you go to Hell. These people are just trying to play God.
Lamont Daves That's your opinion
Lamont Daves The most likely scenario is we're an accident, nothing matters and we should all kill ourselves :)
I don't know what will happen in the future But whatever happens will be perfect.I wish we were alive too. I wish to live a long life and see a good future.
I don't want to be immortal. I don't want to live forever. But it will be nice to live much longer, like at least another 100 - 200 years more than the typical human life span. So I'm for Transhumanism, but also against immortality.
Well, as long as you don't try to stop others from obtaining immortality. Personally I am a devout Transhumanist, and would love to become immortal.
@@ethangray8527 you will regret it. The shadow government's transhumanist agenda is meant to enslave you in a technological prison so it can feed off your consciousness or soul. Its every sci fi movie's nightmare.

Just imagine the population spike after we figure out how to stop the ageing process.
+HoldOnToYourTails No1 will DO kids anymore... Because why?
+HoldOnToYourTails Well, obviously the need for reproduction would end, so no.
ghostofdayinperson How do you propose to stop people reproducing? Isn't that already a problem in some countries?
When we know how to live how we want, we will eventually focus more on ourselves and lose interest in having kids.
+ghostofdayinperson Even if we got rid of aging, as long as we are human, there will always be an urge to reproduce. Even if we won't be able to die through old age, we will still be able to be killed through illnesses/diseases, accidents or acts of violence. What will carry on your genetic legacy when you have no offspring?
They could keep our body but nah our soul

And also the odds are pretty high that you would go somewhere after your death. There isn't a single proof of heaven.

No, that is the discussion we need. Some people will want to do exactly that, abandon our humanity altogether and live as gods. We need to decide what path we will want to take - and we need to do it now. I mean, look at stuff like the EU - a transnational alliance system born out of necessity. That will become normal all over the globe due to superpowers like the US and China making nationalism invalid for most nations and eventually lead to a world where we have just a single government - the issue? We will need to decide what kind of "people" or machines will lead us and if we mess up, the consequences could literally doom humanity.
@@Arcaryon I don't know about you buddy but I don't want to live forever especially not in this shxty generation
I'm just going to give my two cents on the topic. To the people against transhumanism, I ask you a question. What is the purpose of life? It's to grow. Every life form, animal, plant, fungi, bacteria, etc. It's purpose is to develop and grow and improve. Transhumanism is just an aspect of that. You might say it's "unnatural" but so is alot of other things we have today. Anything with artificial chemicals in is "unnatural" but that doesn't make it inherently bad. Just my opinion guys
People are against 'forced' transhumanism. That's tyranny.
@@SuffianMohammed You do make a valid point. But, in a lot of cases, the general population is rather stupid and doesn't know what's best for them
That's because for most people, ignorance is a bliss. But that doesn't mean that the population should be treated like stupid.. and forcing something against someone's will? Sounds like a perfect recipe for a blowback. Imagine if you had a crush and you kidnap her, and you tell her that it's best for her. Not gonna end well right? Unless her name is 'Siri'.. And transhumanism is an uncharted territory. Shit can happen. Playing with the mind isn't something to be taken lightly.
@@SuffianMohammed True true. It's one of the many flaws with humans. We place too much emphasis on irrelevant things like, freedom and individuality
@@natekelly770 if you find freedom and individuality irrelevant i wonder what You find relevant

Aging and death come from the soul, the conciousness. It is not into the body.
Outlawing aging sounds like outlawing reality. Transhumanism may be possible at some level but it will be completely different from being human. The connection between our brain and body is currently what makes us human. Would we still be human if our consciousness exists outside of our body?
Do our human rights carry on with our consciousness? Will our consciousness alone be enough to warrant rights?
If we can replicate the human brain and duplicate our consciousness then we would essentially be immortal. Should human consciousness be immortal? Where did our consciousness come from and where is it going? This Transhumanism movement looks to me like a way for humanity to finally move beyond the physical bounds of this body and planet and go out to learn what what we can in the universe. Our consciousness is limited by our physical body. If we had other senses availbe to our brains we could have new information and an enhanced consciousness. Is our consciousness attempting to find its creator in this universe? If we do will it be like a tadpole finding it's mother or more?
Consciousness cannot be recreated, THINGS they will make will just be good copies, consciousness is beyond our reach.Humans are becoming obsolete and elites want world for themselves only and rest of us will be just robot slaves to them while they think they will become omnipotent like God. They will try to do it but they won't succeed, because God won't allow it. Evil cannot outshine good.
Our consciousness already exists outside of our body naturally. We don't need technology

There's a reason there is sacred Gregorian Chant playing in the background - this is a dark and satanic religion. Making a copy of yourself is not yourself. This is the logical conclusion of a world that has lost its sense of the essence of a person, the soul. The only hope of eternal life and eternal glory is found in Jesus Christ and His Holy Catholic Church.

“Gold” is only valuable because it is scarce. Having infinite “gold” makes it worthless.

@@Amrith369 but you'd have no purpose, we do things in life because we know we have a limited time, if u had forever then you wouldn't need to do anything

Not really mate. Gold is still important for electronics. An abundance of gold will actually be a good thing for technology. And the price will go down too. So will the non technological aesthetic demand.
@@jamie193h agreed. the reason life is an experience, is because it IS limited - that's what gives anything you spend time doing a sense of value

living forever is somehow much more boring than we imagine
+Ray Miller Unless as seems likely death is just the end of all experience. And I don't see how that would be such a great adventure. And why do religious people say not dying would get boring when they usually envisage an eternity of living with Jesus (or having sex with virgins in the Muslim paradise) ? Isn't it hypocritical to criticise transhumanists for wanting to find practical ways to live forever as opposed to just hoping for it?
