      >For the common people? Not in your lifetime.
      The elite and super rich will not use it on themselves only, they will share it with the world - or the worthy. They know they have to give up all their wealth and become a normie in the new world, or they face annihilation from the masses.

      Alternatively they could decide to become evil immortal vampires praying on the poor, but I belie they are too lazy and normie for that lifestyle.

        If they were truly in control as people they would realise that we're probably not alone and we need to adapt ourselves as a species to have any sort of competitive advantage against anything unknown out there.
        But unfortunately the terror of uprising is so pervasive that their only thought is of gaining leverage, hence why people like Bill Gates spread mosquitoes modified to carry the diseases that his vaccines stop. It's almost like a protection racket. Almost. But that anxiety is more differentially enacted upon as hive phenomena in organisations.
        Ironically I'm not even convinced that some of the elites are aware of what they're doing. It's becoming clear to me that organisations are so "naturally" designed (or in other words bred by the consumer demand and mere circumstances around these orgs) that they become a systematically enforced racket, not a mere human intention based racket.
        This is why things like pharma companies are out of control (especially pharma because I feel that most of the employees in that industry are high as a fricking kite with their innovations nowadays).

        People think about these things in human terms, but really you have treat corporations like rogue AI that control their human peons. Only then do you begin to grasp the gravity of the situation. It's not merely figurative, it's a macro-organism. They behave like this. Hell that's how genocide happens.

        While we all probably are aware of this with our stances, something tells me that is not the case entirely within organisations.
        You should look up terms orgs use when they push for recruits, things like "neuro-diverse" employees which are required to better harden the mind of the macro-organism.

        The power of the subconscious is terrifying.

          Interesting perspective but I wouldn't say that I fully buy into the idea that corporations are like rogue AI, but It's definitely possible that some corporations have taken on a life of their own and behave more like it than a collection of individuals. Perhaps a fear of the unknown and the urge for control and power has caused some organizations to behave in unethical ways. But who really knows? It's all just speculation at this point.

          Corporations behaving like sociopaths have been widespread in the media for a long time. When it is the survival of the fittest, I doubt the situation will get any better any time soon.

          I think the neuro-diverse situation just a fancy way of saying they want a diverse group of people with different skills and perspectives. But it's also possible that there's some deeper meaning behind it that we're not aware of.

          It's fascinating to think about the power dynamics at play within corporations and how they may be influencing the world in ways we don't even realize.

            It's been happening since ancient times.
            It's been called an "Egregore", but that's unscientific so I mislabel it merely as macrocosm or macrocosmic organism.

            I used to think these things were commonly known, but some people still call them conspiracies.
            We used to take the piss out of them in video games and movies. That's how much the fear the anxiety of being perceived as "strange" or "abnormal" in this world is.
            Which is ironic when you think about what we're talking about here.

          Not him, but yeah, this is understandable to me, but the thing is, human augmentation and life extension tech actually makes practical sense for a regular person, especially once you get older and start to feel it. It could make you stronger, healthier, extended your lifespan not just to be bedridden but healthy enough to do things you would like to do.

        The opposition to trannies is entirely a christgay psyop to normalize the mentality that you don’t own your body. If you can stop adults from ingesting hormones because it “harms society” and is “unnatural” then the same argument will be used against you getting body upgrades. Why else would trannies would only now be such a focus even though they have existed for decades? Because CRISPR now exists and soon neuralink competitors will too.

      Corporations don't like investing money in things that generate actual value or collaborating any more than is necessary and will use legislation to block others from engaging in this behavior where possible and even when this does not succeed it is entirely possible for 3rd parties or governments to block it on their own. So it will be slow going.

      You could clone yourself synthetically like that, but it really wouldn't be your active system unless that clone is somehow electronically linked to you.
      But we've already been implanting synthetic shit into brains for a while now and it's just werked. You could synthetically replace the parts of the brain slowly with a more robust (doubt that) synthetic emulating material and I bet your mind wouldn't even notice things that much.

        I don't think we're remotely close to just zapping your brain into a reconfigured synthetic body, but we most certainly are already doing the earliest forms of synthetic metamorphosis right now with pharmacueticals.

        And we're already turning into fricked up abortions of things because of that. But most people went into this knowing that.
        My problem is when those that were misled into thinking their experimental procedures were safe and consistent, because right now they are neither and our companies are ruining any advancement we've already made with bullshit profit making, power securing ventures.

        That will be the shit that grounds synthetic metamorphosis to a halt. That and people's anxiety about it. Sure I want to be strong and healthy, but a synthetic transformation could ruin that quality or aspect of me that I appreciate. I.e. it would take the "soul" out of living full stop.
        I just want medical advancement that actually works though. Synthetic shit is an afterthought if we can't even say human lives with the current health system (which is now making things worse with it's own diseases in our state of overpopulation and high density living).

      It's too risky in an already very risk-averse economy.
      Banks really wouldn't even frick around with this shit and your best bet is angel investment.
      But then you need to convince a studious institution to go along with your weird science (heh) in order to convince any investors of your conviction and ability with such a project.
      The problem is that institutes are becoming moldy figs with thinking in this sector, so an investment would not be there unless you somehow conned them into thinking that you are a part of a tertiary institute.

      This is where things are dangerous and you need something akin to religious fervour to convince change in the academic and financial industries to support this.

      This is not the first time our society has been like this.
      Whenever I think of this strive for a change of thinking, I think of Isambard Brunel and how controversial his goals and ideas were at the time. He was lucky because he had established capital though. Nowadays people of that kin with that sort of dough are nearly non-existant. Anyone in the field of augmentation are also likely to be ostracised from any engineering communities because of how extreme the thought processes and ideas are in that field.
      Hence the stagnant innovation era we are in nowadays. People want safety, not risk.

        what great controversial ideas did brunel have?
        both his broad gauge rail and atmospheric rail were failures. aside from that he just built large ships and bridges.

          They were considered way before their time though.
          Hell, we use broad gauge and maglev today for comfier transport. If he had known about some of the physics that came after him, he may have tried things like maglev that early.

          >Brunel: "I'm going to build a very large ship out of steel"
          >Investors: "hmmm that's risky already, iron ships are not that reliable yet and they may never be successful with a large ship"
          >B: "with a screw"
          >I: "woah now, those are very very risky and no one uses them and your last ship was a fluke with the design"
          >B: "it's going to be the biggest on the planet, 4000 person capacity, ability to get to Australia with ease, multiple funnels with less reliance on the sails, double the size of the current biggest ocean liner (my previous ship the SS Great Britain, also with a screw)"
          >I: "You've gone mad"
          >B: "and it will finance itself on the basis of economies of scale"
          >I: "oh... well ok then"

          It's more the entrepreneurial initiative in conjunction with cutting edge engineering know-how with sketchy experimental innovations that were so before their time that they were only appreciated much much later when they were far more common.
          But in his time? Sheer madness to most people. People thought he had gone mad.
          That ship was largely fine, but it wasn't really economic in the end, like most of his ventures. He was good at manifesting them, but the demand simply just wasn't there because it was so before it's time and unfamiliar to most.

    I'm just happy we're finally seeing some true AI that look and feel and act like AI.
    Instead of mere shitty uncanny valley robots that gave me no hope for the future of AI.

    Finally I have to fear the emergence of SHODAN rather than fear the futility of human engineering.
    AI has literally become a hope for me because I sure as hell have lost hope with us meat.
    But once again, that meat has become a tether holding something I enjoy back.

    >I used to think these things were commonly known
    I thought they were. That's why I mentioned how the media mentions corporations like sociopath entities.

    But you could argue that corporations have taken on a life of their own because they've been designed that way. They're like little AI machines, programmed to maximize profits and crush anything that gets in their way. And that's exactly what they do.

    >Egregore
    It's just a fancy word for a collective consciousness that forms around organizations. It's the sum of all the beliefs, desires, and fears of the people within that organization. And when those people are consumed by their own greed and fear, the organization becomes like a hive-mind, only looking out for itself. And that, my friend, is what we call a macrocosmic organism.

      So I guess I was right that they've been screwed with by NGOs and think tanks and that their misinfo wasn't merely trolling for clickbait... actually nah I was wrong there it was both NGO/think tank frickery and clickbait the whole time.

        You were right, but also wrong. It's always a combination of factors, isn't it? The NGOs and think tanks definitely try to screw with people and manipulate the masses, but let's not forget about the good old-fashioned clickbait. They'll say anything to get those clicks and views, even if it's a lie. But hey, at least you're on the right track.

          I was just naive to have that much faith in journalistic integrity.
          I don't know why either, because it's not like I wasn't aware of the culture. I should have known better.
          But then again, I assumed the think tanks and ngos wouldn't be the ones supplying themselves with dough from that clickbait. I just assumed they'd nag journos over bullshit and that's it. I forgot that they were profit motive corporations themselves.

            True, they only care about one thing: themselves. And they'll do whatever it takes to make sure their pockets are lined with cash, even if that means lying, manipulating, and exploiting the masses. The idea of journalistic integrity is just a pipe dream. Journos are just puppets, dancing to the tune of whoever is holding the purse strings.

    What about eliminating our senescent cells to kill our aging so we see that future?

      That too, but those cells are only one type of aging damage, as far as I understand, going by SENS.

        Of course, I was talking into just talking about the bioengineering against aging in general.
        Point is, as fat i know, there are approved meds that already do kill the sensencent cells, they are used for other diseases, maybe some anon can provide with some input

      We're not even close because the medications to make them not frick our body up are so terrible at the moment. We're literally brute forcing our bodies with this shit at the moment. We haven't got the idea of getting our body to accept synthetic components right yet, so they're just foreign bodies to our own body at the moment.

      I like how mother nature, in the form of viruses, can already put foreign bodies into our body better than we can with synthetic bodies. Perhaps we need to look at that and how the synthetic bodies clash with our immune systems on a chemical level more.
      I personally believe there's more potential in bio-synthetic rather than pure synthetic bodies (things that use more biologically based organic compounds, etc). There's a heap of development in the field of artificial implants (lab produced body valves made of cells, etc) that is just being too ignored by the synthetic cyber-implant field. I would be focusing on perfecting those things before focusing on prosthetics and cybermutated implants.

        Would be hilarious, if we just started living in a virtual world and interacted with the real world by remote controlling a WALL-E looking robot - redesigning the world to fit its form.

          I get what point you're making, but virtual reality will just become merged with reality eventually.

          Just ask the space elves about what happened when their tech reached such a level.
          True horror awaits us all.

            Oh, I don't need to ask any space elves. We humans are so inbred and synced into our reality, When pandora's box opens and human made evolution start - what will happen is outside of our current comprehension levels.

            It's like trying to imagine aliens, that are so different in appearance and thinking that we can't even understand what we are looking at.

        yeah i think bioaumentation is the way. That's also why i mentioned cleaning our bodies of sensencent cells, as they are "zombie" cell that are degrading our bodies, to get a cleanish "young" base level that would help before any other modification.

      In disagree, archaic 19th century mentalities, ideologies and general social schemas are not the answer.
      The idea of what a society actually is must first be re-examined.

      And that's a terrifying rabbit hole to travel. You come face to face with the concept of determinism immediately.

      I've seen some impressive new prosthetic tech ay. But that's not really going to extend our capabilities of people without potentially hindering our natural functions.

      But instead of focusing on protecting natural functions, we should be seeing if we can alter those to begin with.
      Plus we need to think about a few things:
      > pollution to the environment and our bodies
      > the ability to supply an energy source for these things
      > the social consequences of augmentation with our society's structure - is society going to be a valid concept here or are we heading towards "The Many" tier horrors
      > can these things potential cause diseases like disease augmentation or the grey goo type scenarios

      But frankly, the priority should first be advancement of the technology. To merely hold back due to anxieties about it could be the hesitation that kills us all.

    Better to just sell you ineffective drugs as your mind and body slowly die. Nobody is even calling for improved medicine, they just want someone else to pay for gender reassignments and an explosion of genetic diseases that could have been weeded out last century.

    Life extension is the most likely to hit first, since it's easier to modify the body you already have, instead of building a mechanical one. Hopefully I live to see LEV

      Honestly, if you're young enough and don't die from getting shot or cancer or whatever, you probably will. Medical tech is already closing in on some of the base causes of aging-related problems and the introduction of intelligent AI will increase the rate of research and testing exponentially. I'd recommend taking great care of yourself. Exercise, stretch, eat properly, don't smoke, limit if not quit drinking if you do, get regular checkups, etc.

    It's completely different. By being a troony you mutilate the most important parts of your body, the reproductive organs.
    On the other hand, you'll be perfectly fine if you have a robotic arm or leg. It isn't mental illness.

    Trans have tons of freedom of form philosophy and transhumanists.

    Transgender humans is self-mutilation and a mental health problem and body dysmorphia that should be treated with therapy. Transhumanism is augmenting your eyes to see in the dark or augmenting your muscles so you can run forever.

    >self-mutilation

    Pic related. Taking some hormones and chopping off their dicks will nothing compared to what the future will hold.
