Transhumanism is a positive philosophy about the future based in optimism, rational thinking and the application of science and technology to improve the human condition. We seek to live longer, stay healthier, and become smarter and even more physically fit. We want to develop tools and technologies to help ourselves and others do the same.
We want to live longer, be healthier and happier, become smarter, keep learning and have more fun. And we propose using science and technology to do it. Does this sound good? Then you are very possibly a transhumanist.
Transhumanism isn’t a cult or religion. There are no canonical texts or predetermined methods. “What it is, is up to us.”
Transhumanism is compatible with various religious beliefs and traditions. But, inevitably, because it is based in science, the conclusions of transhumanism may contradict some elements of traditional religious beliefs. For example, transhumanists seek to extend life and do not accept death as a given fact due to a “creator” or supernatural deity. We do not consider immortality to be the sole domain of faith or deity and we reject the entire idea of “supernatural”.
Anything that actually happens is by definition “natural” if not always understood by us. Transhumanism rejects as fallacies ideas that place nature above man or his works; this is known as the Naturalistic Fallacy. We have the ability to become active agents in our own design and the design of our environment. Transhumanists believe that we can not ignore our responsibilities to consider the designs we create, but we also believe strongly in our right and even our duty to create them. We reject the deep ecology movement and ecological terrorism in all forms.
On a related note, transhumanism importantly suggests that we consider the risks arising from failing to develop technologies as well as those risks which originate from developing them. The Proactionary Principle is presented as an alternative to the conservative Precautionary Principle which is applied almost everywhere in scientific and technological policy making. We are not ignorant about possible negative consequences or dangerous technologies and ideas. However this isn’t about gambling.
Fundamentally transhumanism is an optimistic idea. We suggest that humans can and should improve themselves,and that we can be better off if we do. Transhumanists believe that the future can be bright and better than today. We reject romanticized notions about the past or the natural world. We consider that what appear to be insurmountable obstacles are sometimes found to be illusory limitations in our own understanding. We think world wide abundance is possible if we put our minds to the task of creating it.
I have a book by Fred Alan Wolf called Parrallel Universes and a book called the Holographic universe by Ken Talbot" The holographic idea appeals to me as well as mandlebrots fractals As a meditator though I feel the Yogis had it nailed all along and Western science now just starting to catch up. One can enter these doorways through meditation and the right side of the brain"

I recently paid on a dating site and I must admit that it was a totally different experience. I got lots of genuine replies and hardly any scammers even though I came to the conclusion that I think I want to stay single for a while until I feel ready to commit. I was actually in shock at the all the replies'
I also came to the conclusion that free sites attract a lot of strange people because they know that its free and that they can say anything and get away with with it including misrepresenting themselves with pics and text'
If you havent tried a paid site I would recommend it as you will get responses from people who dont want to waste thier time or money. Im not saying thier all good but your feedback on this forum would be interesting.
Also im taking a holiday from conspiracy theories'
Ive met older women with young minds and young women with old minds" I prefer older women with younger minds although at my age I am walking on thin ice myself
