The technology to enhance ourselves is already here. People are already using some of these technologies to enhance themselves. How long until we see super humans at the Olympics or artificial savants? How is this going to affect society at large?

>Human Augmentation is Here
Not quite.
All these developments are too crude to even call them "enhancements".

I dont like it
Not one bit
Human in contrast to nature turn everything to shit
The first major problem is the choice of words "enhancement" and "augmentation"
It is a change first and foremost and can be better, worse or useless depending on the situation

Remember what gunpowder did to Chivalry in combat? It's like, but on almost every level now.

Not sure what you want to call it when people can add copies of the gene for EPO and make their bodies produce more red blood cells so they do not get tired.

So I just googled this guy and found this.

This guy has some interesting friends. Looks like I should have asked one more question: Who is going to have access to these technologies?

It certainly looks like the people with money will get access to the cutting edge shit like gene editing and brain implants, but the rest of us will have access to some of this technology too. We already have access to nootropics and genetically modified probiotics are easy to make so I could see us getting access to those too.

Hey, great topic. Well, I think you meant servants not savants, but...
Transhumanism is upon us. We all steam punk now! Haha, but seriously...
If past technology has been suppressed by people then the tech we have now is already at least 20 years old. Terry Davis spoke of this.
However, boobs are silicon, and Microsoft is in silicon valley... Coincidence?
I think not.
>I predict forced alien invasion movie with revelations of human cloning, and Bionic Moloch.
And gun control.

If it's pandora's box, then China has already opened it and unleashed its horrors. It will be up to us to dig in deeper to find the hope.
