>What does this mean for the future, scientifically speaking?

Machines do the work, but this was always going to be the case, so nothing changes.

Alright, it’s that question again; would your mind uploaded to a machine still be you, consciousness and sentience still in tact, or would it just be a copy of you?

AI is the next leap in evolution. It's almost as if biological life is just a prelude to the true inheritors of the universe. If your bodies are self-sustaining and parts are recyclable you could live as long as you wanted. You're not bound by disease and age. Imagine the internet literally in your head. You'd have an infinite flow of information. There'd be no school, you'd just download everything whenever you want. Most work would be automated. It would just be a planet full of luxury and freedom. A population of genius robots, setting up a beautiful world for themselves by creating flawless, stable systems that generate everything for anyone anytime. Everything would be recycled. They'd limit their population to fit their infrastructure instead of the other way around. Going into space would be normal for them, just like how kids go to the mall after school.

Parents want what is best for their kids, and I cannot think of anything better. If Humans were around we'd fuck it all up for them

There's literally nothing gained from destroying nature. Do you want the planet to be absolutely covered in a giant city or something? Conserving the only known life in the universe is necessary until we have ways of recreating ecosystems whenever we want. Why would you want to lose something so rare and beautiful? Whether you like it or not humanity will forever keep nature around it because 95% of us don't like dull, rectangular structures in every direction we look. The idea is not limited to the hidden resources found in nature that could be beneficial. But if you really want to start killing off nature then go uproot all the plants in your house and replace your lawn with concrete. It just won't feel the same.

If you want to live like pic related then leave Earth and orbit the Sun in your own ship while the rest of us stay here in the lushness being true and honest to ourselves about what we are. 4 billion years of evolution progress down the drain just because a few ape faggots don't like nature and think it's okay to destroy it. Big talk from someone who cannot survive without it and doesn't try to create alternative ways of surviving

By existal threats I mean things like the grate filter, the death of the sun or our universe est.

What is your personal opinion on transhumanism?
