While i doubt it’ll get me banned anywhere, it does get me very weird looks if i bring it up in meat space, so I’ll bring it up here instead!
As a product of totally random processes selecting for absolutely nothing in particular humans are pretty cool, but from any kind of intelligent perspective we are a failure. Our teeth don’t fit, our backs don’t work right, we have organs with no other purpose than to kill us. God or evolution, which ever, has put in an absolutely minimum wage effort into our bodies and i think we should strive to do better, to be better. I understand being against current possibilities (I’m not getting magnets in my hands or the musk brain chip), but to be against transhumanism in general is completely insane.
Curious what it might take to accept a Neuralink. For example, let’s say you were near end of life and they figured out a viable way to have a brain in a jar. Would you choose to do it, and would you have a Neuralink installed for stimuli? What if you knew going in that it wasn’t possible to replace it?
I wouldn’t accept neuralink because it’s musk, the guy is even shifter then the average corpo. However if we’re just talking generic scifi brainjack I’d get that shit right now. The brain in the jar treatment wouldn’t be my preferred magical-surpass-humanity idea, but I’d totally take it, assuming some kinda uplink was installed of course.
Glitter… that’s a nice improvement
