When you say "a lot of" you are talking about less than ten people. They are just the loudest ones because they literally own their media platforms. I'm sure there are orders of magnitude more scientists and just scifi fans who dream of transhumanism for the good. Have you considered that maybe rich are inherently evil? Or maybe forcing the thing on other people is the evil part, not the thing itself?
The Autism speaks movement is far bigger than ten people so I have to strongly disagree here. |

Wikipedia a transhuman is a being that resembles a human in most respects but who has powers and abilities beyond those of standard humans. Wiktionary: An enhanced human A being that transcends humanity; a superhuman being. Merriam-Webster: Trancending human limits : superhuman Oxford english dictionary Beyond the human; superhuman. None of those make it inherently anti-human. That's like sayin...
I’m glad you found the definition. Go people who call themselves, trans humanists believe, because it is antihuman. Look up TESCREAL And no, it’s not the same as saying a trans woman is anti-man, because trans. Women don’t want to exterminate all of the men after they complete their transition. If you want to be stronger, go to the gym. If you want to be smarter, read more and learn critical thinking skills. Their technology will not help you realize either of those goals. |

I'm all for letting them upload themselves and then wiping the drives and all the backups.
Sounds like a more generous fate than they deserve, but it would be fine by me, so long as it is it ends with them being gone They’re not exactly Lennie characters |

Transhumanists are human. Holding a certain belief, even if it's an awful one, doesn't make you an alien or reptile or something.
The beliefs they hold are unbecoming of a human They would eagerly shed the title of human themselves if they were intellectually capable enough to produce the technology they fantasize about. Instead, they’re destroying the environment for a moronic word guessing machine. They don’t want the title, and frankly they’re not deserving of it |

Look, silicon valley didn't invent transhumanism in 2023. It's at least half a century older. TESCREAL is clearly antihuman but just because billionaires want to use transhumanism for bad purposes doesn't make it inherently bad. Look up definition of inherently. I wasn't using word trans there because it wasn't my point. Just because I want to improve myself with technology doesn't make me evil. Maybe the evil part is exterminating humans, not improving humans who want to be improved. Maybe forcing an ideology on othet people is the evil part? Transhumanism itself has nothing to do with killing. Sentences in your last paragraph are so broke I have no idea what you are saying. |

And you're going to tell me this doesn't consume any water? It's just as bad as data centers! ::: spoiler Obviously, /s :::
it does, but only the bathroom and plants, but those have net benefits. |

I was doing speech to text at work, hence the broken paragraph, but I’ve fixed it now. I know what inherently means, that’s not exactly a $10 word, but good job. What technology are you imagining augmenting yourself with then? |

No, but it got jammed together with the rest of the TESCREAL bundle and you can't just ignore that. I'm 100% in favor of human augmentation, life extension, mind uploads, all that shit. But they're not in favor of something that will be for everyone. They're in favor of something that will be reserved for an elite few so they can legally hunt us all down like deer. |

I haven’t heard it described in any way that wasn’t hostile to humanity
Exoskeletons are starting to become a serious tool for certain jobs, mostly ones centered around lifting, that's also a part of the broader transhumanism. Using a technology to alter a human, in the above case to be able to lift more without injuring themselves, to become superhuman in one aspect |

That's a pretty room, but it doesn't seem ideal for a library. If you're trying to study / concentrate it would be loud: too many people, a big open space with hard surfaces, etc. If you were waiting to meet up with a friend at the library, that's a great room for that -- as long as when that friend arrives you're allowed to talk to them at a normal volume. But, you don't need a room that huge ...

I'll reiterate myself then. Maybe the evil part is hunting down people then? |

The people building the new data centers aren’t human tho They’re transhumanists Literally the enemy of humanity Look it up
Should be in quotes. "Ubermensch" is what comes more to mind. |

Exoskeleton is a tool, you put it on when you need it and take it back off. That’s not transhumanism, you’re still a human inside of the exoskeleton. When I drive my car to work I don’t “become part car”, I’m just using a tool. An exoskeleton is the exact same scenario. |

Books are expensive to produce and quite pricey to maintain, but nowhere close compared to digital computer draining water source dry, polluting soil and make loud noise disrupting entire neighborhood. |

The only good thing that came of these copyright laundering machines is that everyone can see the systemic hypocrisy. AI bots downloads pay walled articles and copies pirates hooks? It's for AI... No sue |

Digital information can be copied indefinitely. true, but books can be printed indefinitely too. Every copy can be perfect, no degradation. Untrue. data degradation is a real thing and can result in complete data loss or corruption. even if you store the data in the best case scenario it's not a matter of if, but when. Books similarly can be damaged but are often repairable unless completely de...
