Abstract

Radical science and technology are changing everything around us. The area of transhumanism is growing dramatically in size and impact - and the impact on our species is enormous. In just a decade, many things can change how we live our lives. The upcoming innovation will be amazing. Transhumanists believe that we must protect ourselves from our natural genes, unless they bind us to remain forever as animals. We believe that our outdated instincts can easily tempt us to know right from wrong, practical from impractical. If you look closely, the human body and its biology constantly highlights our many imperfections. Transhumanism seeks to improve the human body through science and technology - that is, to help people develop. This is a strange cultural and philosophical position for a movement. And yet, change is exactly what transhumanism aspires to.
据佐尔坦·伊斯特万说
激进的科学技术正在改变我们周围的一切。超人类主义领域的规模和影响正在急剧增长,对我们人类的影响是巨大的。在短短十年里,许多事情可以改变我们的生活方式。即将到来的创新将是惊人的。超人类主义者认为,我们必须保护自己不受自然基因的影响,除非它们把我们束缚在动物身上,让我们永远保持动物的状态。我们相信,我们过时的本能很容易诱使我们分辨是非、实际与不实际。如果你仔细观察,你会发现人体和它的生物学特性不断地突出我们的许多缺陷。超人类主义寻求通过科学技术改善人体——也就是说,帮助人们发展。对于一场运动来说,这是一种奇怪的文化和哲学立场。然而,改变正是超人类主义所渴望的。
