I found this forum and thought that there might be people here who have something to contribute about: 🎨︱transhumanism - augmenting artificial devices into our bodies Would anyone here be interested to take part? A lot of people are still new and exploring the subject, and we are looking to have a ...

America either will be an a.i ruled police state that uses robots to control the chuttle that is the human population or will rip itsself apart in massive civil wars. But why use futuristic (and probably currently expensive) AI for your police state when you have goons that will do it for a typical...

Me too. But I'd also like to test out computer chip implants.

Interesting article although I'm not sure I would conjecture the same opinions (re: shapeshifting and the outright dismissal of alien abduction experiences). Still, it raises interesting questions to chew on. Well, questions that are more interesting than wondering when the war in Ukraine will final...

I'm a digital nomad with a little bit of spare time on my hands at the moment, so I've just started reading the Transhumanist Reader and am so intrigued to learn more and to do whatever I can to make it a reality. I only wish there was a place to sign...
