In this case ― to create the human-system(society & government) - which will allow this to happen, in fact will make this happen ― should also be the same question for you! You know that the current civilization - is practically solely based on limiting everyone; so they'll do whatever they can ― to impede this progress (same as with all the rest of personal-progress of the highest order). Without this system ― it may never come, or maybe in a hundred years ―― with it - soon, for free, and for everyone(progressive); you make the choice - whether you'll see it or not. By the definition of Transhumanism ― it is the society of progressives; and that is Meritocracy: ― Explanation - docs.google.com/document/d/1GCJlCn844x62IaP4ce2ADSu1M7cfMjLyrcZ0QqwdHAo/edit?usp=sharing ― FaceBook-group - facebook.com/groups/176612696614548/

Some transhumanists talk about immortality, others like me say indefinite life-span. I can't predict the future, neither can you. You don't know that longevity will be only available to a select few, and your words remind me of conspiracy literature. We need to work towards making it available to whoever wants it, not just sit around defending predictions about the future before the future happens.

Max More (born Max T. O'Connor, January 1964) is a philosopher and futurist who writes, speaks, and consults on advanced decision-making about emerging technologies.Born in Bristol, England, More has a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from St Anne's College, Oxford (1987). His 1995 University of Southern California doctoral dissertation The Diachronic Self: Identity, Continuity, and Transformation examined several issues that concern transhumanists, including the nature of death, and what it is about each individual that continues despite great change over time.Founder of the Extropy Institute, Max More has written many articles espousing the philosophy of transhumanism and the transhumanist philosophy of extropianism, most importantly his Principles of Extropy. In a 1990 essay "Transhumanism: Toward a Futurist Philosophy", he introduced the term "transhumanism" in its modern sense.More is also noted for his writings about the impact of new and emerging technologies on businesses and other organizations. His "proactionary principle" is intended as a balanced guide to the risks and benefits of technological innovation.At the start of 2011, Max More became president and CEO of the Alcor Life Extension Foundation, an organization he joined in 1986.

The immortality of all lives on Earth is of greater concern (to me) than individual immortality. Think of it this way: we human beings are the products of 3 billions years of (aimless, purposeless) evolution. In the past 600 million years, 5 great extinction events happened to wipe lives (multicellular lifeforms, before the PreCambrian Explosion (which happened 600 million years) no mass extinction were visible). We human beings are lucky to evolve high intelligence AND ability to make/use tools

The man here is talking about true futuristic reality, though not 100% correct, as humans will never be able to live forever. Death is inevitable. Even if we're able to find a solution for one problem, there are still countless factors by which a human can die, and finding solutions for each and every one of those will itself take thousands of years. Transhumanism will surely extend life expectancy rate further & since I myself is a bio-medical engineer I know electronics+biology is the future.

Also, its not like he just jumped on the idea, both More and FM are heavily involved in the same circles and in Alcor. Alcor being where FM is to this day.

"Violence has declined massively". I don't think he has read much history, especially the history of the 20th Century, undoubtedly more massively violent than any previous century. There is no evidence, so far, that the 21st Century will end up being less violent than the 20th. He seems to buy into the myth of unlimited progress, in the version that presumes that technological progress will automatically result in moral progress. The 20th Century was technologically more advanced than any previous century. Was it morally more advanced? I don't think so. Not in terms of mass murder, at least. Wasn't it massively the most murderous century so far, in the whole history of humanity? And the most technologically advanced. True, there is no necessity that the 21st Century will continue along the same twin trajectory. It is not inevitable that it will. But, likewise, it is not inevitable that it won't. There will be technological advance, that is for sure. It is an extremely facile assumption, totally unsupported by historical evidence, that such technological advance will automatically result in advances in moral performance on the part of human beings, even if they are 'enhanced' to a degree where they consider themselves - rightly or wrongly? - to be 'humanity plus', and maybe a new and superior species compared to all previous generations. The progress myth, or at least this version of it, is surely illusory. Indeed, it could, potentially, have disastrous results. There is no necessity that it will do, true. But if it remains so naive as to be entirely unconscious of its own potential for evil, and for producing results that will be disastrous for humanity, it is all the less likely to resist, defeat and overcome that potential. There is always, perhaps, something innately appealing about naivety, not least because it can come across as a form of innocence. Illusions may be airy and breezy and optimistic, but they are always dangerous, and contain within themselves the seeds of their own destruction. A certain wariness - including an awareness of the depth of the potential for evil within the human heart (once again, think of what really happened in the 20th Century) - would help to make Max's brave New World more plausible. And keep it on a more even keel. It is not that everything he says false. It clearly isn't. It is just that it needs to be more rooted in the real. In how humanity really is, and not just in what it could be, or what he thinks it should and will be.

I am not sure what you are on about... but new technology will free us from the drudgery of work. It will free us from the grips of authority.

Its not about improving humanity. its about erase humanity as it is and turn into a "machine" with a collective mind and conciousness. and guess who will have the ultimate control over it? god made you perfect for this realm. the answer not in transhimanism and such but in an elevated mondset and conciousness what anyone can achive. the rest is unlikely u will belive until u see. thats normal. these people are sick liars with a pinch of pshychopathism.
