Темава секако лесно може да оди во подфорумот Наука. Сепак ја отворам тука бидејќи трансхуманизмот како дел од транстопијата, може да се смета како еден нов, многу интересен и возбудлив светоглед.
Transhumanism (>H or H+) is the belief that we can, and should, try to overcome our biological limitations by means of reason, science, and technology. Transhumanists seek things like intelligence augmentation, increased strength and beauty, extreme life extension, sustainable mood enhancement, and the capability to get off-planet and explore the universe. These goals are to be achieved with the aid of contemporary and future technologies such as genetic engineering, nanotechnology, cryonics, megascale and space-time engineering, AI, and mind uploading. In other words, (hardcore) Transhumanists seek to become posthuman (demi-)gods -- "persons of unprecedented physical, intellectual, and psychological capacity. Self-programming, self-constituting, potentially immortal, unlimited individuals." It is a fairly common belief among transhumanists that unless we destroy ourselves first (or get wiped out by a natural disaster), the pace of technological progress will accelerate enormously within the first half of this century, ultimately resulting in the birth of superhuman intelligence. This will, in turn, trigger a period of even faster and more profound social and technological change, after which nothing can be reliably conceived: the Singularity.
