We now live in the world of brain implants, brain stimulation (rTMS, tFUS, tDCS, ect), gene editing, and personalized AI medicine. It is not a question of if this technology is used for mass enhancements, but when. Transhumanism is the idea that we can and should use technology to enhance ourselves and it presents several technical and ethical challenges. Who tests such technology? Who is given access to which enhancements? How do we ensure that the rich and powerful are not the only people with access? At what point do we stop being human? Ect.
Many of our elites such as Elon Musk and Peter Theil openly subscribe to transhumanist ideology and the ideology is gaining traction among the lower classes as well as seen with the biohacker movement. I know I've made this thread before but we have some new blood here and the most disruptive tard has left so I figured I would bake a new transhumanism thread. What are /mlpol/'s thoughts on transhumanism?

Powerful people and movements are springing up championing this ideology. It is definitely political.

People make mistakes and things get messy.
Mass compliance is a terrible idea for just about all transhumanisms. Yes even easily removed ones such as vision correcting glasses, cars or note books.
>Should you do this thing?
Ask God I mean that in a real not fucking with you way if you ask Him He'll inform you.
>Could you do these things?
Yeah as commercial products are out and with information and resources widely available, augmenting the human experience for short term or long term exists and can be reached.
Tech bros consume whatever chemical cocktails and oxygen pressure chambers. I won't say is the right way to live, but there's impotent things to learn and potentially do.
Oxygen chamber for something like desk work stuff. Great use of time that promotes healing at the cost of an enforced time block in a highly flamable metal casket.
Being in various light wavelengths have their own positives and negative.
Probiotics are easy to reach supliments.
As of now semi-perminant alterations to the gut biome or the intestinal lining is possible and any body can do some wacky shit.
Brain-to-brain papers are old. Invasive and non-invasive.
EEG devices suffer from not being implmented wholeisticly with all sorts of potential data. They're unrefined in the software because decoding each individual person's pattern requires data. And a way to make sense of it.
Some bastard is eventually going to try infecting people with a 'helpful' forced augment and it'll potentially get real ugly.
They found the chemical that releases for family members and lovers that results in a deep love.
Now consider forced augments with a lifespan, now with a connection to some random idiot that doesn't know how to turn it off amd back on again.
>Introducing our new product the blindside glasses, with the help of blindside industries we can blind you to all the nasty things you don't want to see. Subscription for blindside premium sold seperately.
If you want to be ahead of the curve you can do lobotomy like stuff without anything being pierced. Drag things from the inside all around.
Induce a photo reactive chemical to the brain that triggers nuerons on activation.
Of all this stuff the biggest strides are going to be in cheese and food preservation, and long term health through those.
Why augment people?
Upgrade cows mechanically, not just the bio and chemical routes.
We've gotten just enough possible technologies that overriding animals to be meat robots is possible.
It sounds crazy because it's simple and cost effective.
The future of warfare is robots, but many haven't considered bio-robots and usurping natural creatures.
Armored Emus remotely controlled and you bsically have bio-mechs if you strap bonus attachements.
Out sourcing thinking already exists, but what if someone wanted to rent the brain for extra thinking power.
But all those are not the augment that'll doom the youth, it'll be valves that can be remotely controlled.
That's all and it's really anti-smart technology too.
It's to simple and scary I won't say it.

They will turn themselves into immortal gods and rule over the goyim for thousands years, after nuclear war that will begin in near 5 yeras.

Biohackers might end up being the good guys in this. These people are doing gene editing in their basements. I think it will be clandestine super labs for the rich and biohacking for everyone else. The rich would certainly have access to safer augs and more funding but biohacking would be less regulated and have more people expirementing. Both have pros and cons.

God wants us to stand up to the wicked people in power. I'm not sure that is even possible without embracing some degree of augmentation. I've said it before and I will say it again. Technologically superiority of the enemy is unacceptable.

What would you even use augmentation for? Spine structure support grafts that make it easier for you to lift heavy boxes for Jeff Bezos? Nurolink implants for Elon Musk to blast advertisements into your brain 24/7?
Even if you chrome yourself up to be a war machine, you can still be mogged by a cheap drone with a grenade strapped to it.

What is it for though? What genes do you need to edit?

I'm fine with ending it at artificial limbs and organs. Any more and it starts becoming a "specializing for sake of work" sort of thing. If I'm becoming a cyborg, it's gonna be for my own interests before anyone else's.

>What would you even use augmentation for?
Enhanced cognitive function, increased strength, improved lifespan.

This is why /ourguys/ need to be working on this kind of tech. The oligarchs cannot be the only ones controlling access to augmentation.
>What is it for though? What genes do you need to edit?
Enhancing human capabilities so that we can reach space.

>Enhanced cognitive function
Doesn't sound necessary to me. Being able to wageslave more efficiently is not worth invasive mind altering surgeries.
>increased strength
What do you need strength for? We have machines for heavy lifting, and you can be plenty strong through personal training.
>This is why /ourguys/ need to be working on this kind of tech. The oligarchs cannot be the only ones controlling access to augmentation.
That's a self-defeating point. If your augmentations only incr see productivity, then all you're doing is sacrificing human body parts to enrich those who own the corporations, no matter who is in power.
>Enhancing human capabilities so that we can reach space.
See, this is an actual point. Research into human gut flora microbiomes needs to be done if we can become a spacefaring race.

I'm a dog so it doesn't concern me. Why would it concern pony stallions unless they're geldings? I guess I feel sorry for the humans, kinda fond of them etc. Don't want remote-controlled robots petting me, eww.

>That's a self-defeating point. If your augmentations only incr see productivity, then all you're doing is sacrificing human body parts to enrich those who own the corporations, no matter who is in power.
Hardly. We are outnumbered. If we can find a way to operate at 200% then we need to be taking advantage of that.
>See, this is an actual point. Research into human gut flora microbiomes needs to be done if we can become a spacefaring race.
It's a lot more than the gut microbiome that needs to be altered.

Has it ever been the case in human history where increased productivity put more power in the hands of working people? Has that ever been a thing?

No they haven't, but if we could be the ones owning and operating our own machinery then suddenly we can have leverage in the current system. Raw productivity does not mean more freedom, but more capable men have more opportunities to gain power and influence.

This one looks really good. You've really improved as an artist. She needs a cutie mark though.

yeah she does look like scoot.
okay this was too bad and i felt shame.
i was thinking what would she look like if she was in equestria girls.
anyway i won't bother this thread no more.

Dusty Tes, Leslie Fair, and Aryanne all getting drunk and ranting at eachother could be a fun short story.
