RE: The secret experiments made by Elon Musk! Test implants to read your thoughts
I'm not a religious person but I am a spiritual person with faith. I don't expect anyone else to believe me because we each have our own journey and experiences in this life but, my experience in life has confirmed to me that this world is only temporary. I wholeheartedly believe that we are not the person we think we are inside this limited body experience.
Why gamble with your true nature by merging with technology in the hope of becoming immortal inside this strange reality? (A weird ball in the middle of vast emptyness)
Eugenics is just pure fear and I'd rather not live being controlled by fear.
Every human being for hundreds of thousands of years has died and left this world. The idea of eugenics is a selfish idea born out of fear where people think they can escape nature and cowardly avoid their own death. What right do any of us have to claim ownership of this reality by choosing to avoid death? It is depriving our children of the future they deserve.
Nature works very well without human interferance. Whenever we manipulate Nature, it has a funny habit of kicking back and showing us how small we actually are,
Evolution is part of life. If humans had not evolved in past we might have been living like apes or some other species would have evolved. If you look at bigger picture there is nothing like human interface. Is it possible that whatever we do is by our free will which can not be defined by any hidden laws or mysteries of nature? For me the answer would be no. Everything we do is definitely natural, if you do not look at it from human eyes.
I fully respect your opinion as I would hazard a guess that this is the most popular idea. Most people believe in the theory of evolution. I can't deny, evolution is a very logical conclusion as we exist in a time-based cause and effect reality so it does make some sense when your consider our environment.
However, it's still not proven as it's still a theory and there are many things that evolution can't explain. I do believe evolution could be a part of the bigger picture but not to the extent that some people believe.
Evolution doesn't explain why every human being has a spliced strand of DNA. The second strand of our DNA has been edited somehow. This does not happen in nature and no geneticist can deny it.
Anyway, back to the main topic, do you believe merging with technology is natural evolution or humans interfering with it?
Everything is natural unless and until we are not part of reality show :)
My point is that your beliefs will not change or delay any progress
A cellphone is eugenics if this is the end there is not too much that can be done.
We also need to be informed about the changes that are to come.
Oh I absolutely agree that cell phones are the first stage in humans merging with technology. However, the point I was making was regarding the ultimate aim of eugenics which is to become immortal. In my opinion, immortality is an aim born out of fear. The fear of death.
Our experience here as humans is so precious simply because we all die. Eventually. If we were all immortal, we would lose the value of life and the world would be a very VERY different place (and not in a good way) I believe the fact we all die is what makes us all special.
Western society views death as a bad thing, as something to fear at all costs. Wouldn't it be wonderful if this mindset evolved and we all learned to embrace death as the next chapter in our experience? After we had made our mark on the world and contributed something good.
This topic can get deeply religious very quickly so I'm trying to approach it from a logic perspective. As human beings, none of us have a right to claim ownership of this world. We are all here for a short amount of time so lets live a positive life and build a better world for the people who follow us when we pass on.
