Posthumanism

[Anonymous No.11205405]

Extreme transhumanism will never happen because you will experience dysphoria similar to tranners or sad cases like David Reimer.
You could maybe visit an octopus body for a day but you'd never want to live it.
For the foreseeable future mankind will be locked into binary sexes and anthropomorphic forms.

What's to prove?
You'd never want to live in a girl body or as a girl unless you had a birth defect in your brain.
So why do you think you could possibly live in a ln octopus body?

I'll just get an extra brain to handle my octo limbs and act as an intermediary between my actions and desires. Most movement is unconscious anyway

I have a severe form of autism. Not Aspergers but a more severe form.

I have never felt like a human my entire life. In my mind humans are just animals compulsed by "in-the-moment" emotions. Long-term decision making tends to be coincidental to their emotional states instead of their guiding features.

Therefor I have always identified myself more with machines than with people.

I don't want to look humanoid. Why should I have 2 arms if any other shape could be far more efficient. Why should't I just be some Chip inside of an industrial facility making that facility "my body"?

Those options all feel far better than this prison you call a human body.

Fuck humans, Fuck humanity and most importantly fuck biology.

Hope sentient AI comes here quickly to put our species down.

Bro you don't go from average 2019 life to being a transhuman space squid over night.
There would be a whole societal paradigm shift that would happen. If you could just as easily upload or interface your mind with a computer and have some existential frame of reference beyond your own body the concept of "self" would definitely change.

Someone doesn't know what transhumanism is.

There are a few scientific fields that, if developed to their full potential, will allow humanity to do the literally unthinkable (presently).
If we follow through with the maximal development of brain-machine or brain-brain interfaces, synthetic/augmented biology, nanotechnology and other areas, then we might have interesting things to look forward to.
Our survival as a system might depend on trading one arm for another.

I wonder if humanity becoming a hive/singular mind will be the optimal route...

That does not prove that you cannot live in an octopus body. Also why couldn't you just fix the parts of your brain responsible for the dysphoria to allow an octopus body?

[Anonymous No.11207531]

OP, you're prob young, in good health, with average to above average looks. I have none of the above, if i could press some buttons and be age 17 permanently, with my ideal body, and a 200 IQ, i'd take it in a second

Not true. The only ones concerned with that nowadays are prone to dysphoria.

Trying out new things, then deciding to live like this afterwards, not beforehand, is the key.

And overdiagnosing too. Literally every "problem child" is labeled as ADHD or Asperger's and fed some antipsychotics to make up for the teachers' lack of disciplinary action, when probably only a 1/5th of those are actual cases at best.

don't be stupid, there's not more autism now they're just being diagnosed correctly and proper treatments are being done to provide them and their parents better quality of life

"What of the other trades? Historians, politicians, managers and the like?"

"Well, they are there too my boy, management by the prefrontal cortex of resources and directive decisions, nerves that act like detection agencies for mismanagement and the like."

"...and the historians?"

"My boy, it is the cruelest of fates, deep in the recesses of the brain, 30 days of life and the longest lived of all the cells in body, only to spend their days, miring over lost and experienced things until the day someone needs their records..."

>So why do you think you could possibly live in a ln octopus body?
I can drive a car or fly a plane all day. At least until my body can't continue because it has it's own needs. I can play a game and become completely immersed in the avatar I control. I can work a lathe, a saw, a gun, or even just a hammer as if it were an extension of my body. And this is without even having any specialized hardware to run any of these things.
Humans are tool users. We're very adaptable to using things to expand our ability outside of what our body can do naturally. I'm positive I'd have little issue hopping into an octopus and driving it after a week of learning, though I'd much rather hop into a bird or dolphin. An octopus body sounds kinda boring in comparison.
Would I want to stay in one of those for a long time though? No, I wouldn't, because hands are just way too useful to let go of. I'd like a more well engineered frame though. Something that has fewer flaws. My current body has a bunch of small annoying problems despite taking good care of it. A lower maintenance form would be nice.
