Compare with cishumanism. Contrast with the religious movement of the same name which has no connection with actual transhumanism. Fit a warfare link to your tech 1 battlecruiser.

There is no reason to believe that a change in our abilities will change us from doing what we want to do to doing something other than what we want to do. In short: regardless of the paths we take, we will always be proud of our own accomplishments. I'm for transhumanism. I don't expect others to follow me but I do expect them to not try to stop me.

While transhumanism and cybernetics can make for a larger separation of humans than ever before, the sort of widespread education and access to knowledge they bring will help people conquer their fears of each other. I believe it is pretty much certain that transhumanism cannot possibly cause more harm than it helps, in terms of human vs. human aggression and persecution. No matter which way you cut it, the end result is happier, more peaceful, and less violent for the vast majority, primarily the ones who accept the changes. The worst remaining violence will be perpetrated by those who are unwilling to change for religious reasons and their most successful attacks will be against others who are unchanged.

We're just monkeys who dress snappy and build big houses. Otherwise, we appreciate lighting fires and banging things with sticks about as much as any other ape. We're up there with the likes of cetaceans and cephalopods, smart but lacking in self control. We have goals, and we consistently fail to reach them the way we picture them.

Big cities are centers of diversity, and "diversity fatigue" sometimes contributes to the death of intolerance. Because after a while you see something else that's different and say "meh, ok. we are all cool". It's just my theory.. You're basically right about that. We humans have a habit of building up a fear of things we don't understand through gossip and rumors, and a thing unconfronted can become a major fear in our society as the stories about it become more and more far-fetched as they get further lost in translation. But when we see new things up close and get to interact with them, and especially when others around us are not afraid of those things, we lose our fear of them and it is replaced with curiosity and admiration.

Reaver Glitterstim Dromedaworks inc Test Alliance Please Ignore 1405	Posted - 2014.05.21 06:36:00 - [6] - Quote We are still in the pressures of natural selection, it has merely shifted in direction. As Khergit Deserters pointed out, we have more difficulty in selecting mates these days. Our selection pressures have shifted away from disease resistance, hardiness, and survival tactics to mate selection, play, and social competence. We are living the way birds have lived for tens of millions of years. Perhaps one day way down the road, we will look very funny and will have split into multiple species each with its own bizarre set of extreme sexual dimorphisms.

Reaver Glitterstim Dromedaworks inc Test Alliance Please Ignore 1407	Posted - 2014.05.21 23:06:00 - [7] - Quote In real life, transhumanism is and always will be a drive for humans to improve their lives with technology. No one person or small group will ever be in charge of determining what tecnologies are best to improve people, even if any group elects such a person or team. The majority of people will choose to differ in opinion. The only case in which we would have one person/team deciding such things is if human population were in dangerously low numbers, and I don't expect that to happen ever again.

Reaver Glitterstim Dromedaworks inc Test Alliance Please Ignore 1408	Posted - 2014.05.21 23:43:00 - [8] - Quote What it describes are facets of everyday experience. The movement is centered around the idea that it isn't already happening and it won't happen naturally, but that isn't true. ~~Transhumanism~~ Human transformation is in full swing and there is no reason to expect it to stop at any point in the foreseeable future.

Reaver Glitterstim Dromedaworks inc Test Alliance Please Ignore 1408	Posted - 2014.05.22 08:00:00 - [9] - Quote There is something to what Ila Dace said though. Entire groups of people in a religion can mostly be counted on to do certain things that they believe are important to do based on their religion. Sometimes these things are beneficial to society, yet people won't do these things without either being supervised or coerced into believing they are being supervised.

I think that regardless of the movement's direction, humans will continue to adapt and grow in ways that will ultimately be much more beneficial to us than harmful.
