What is transhumanism? What if someone needs a heart transplant? What if the heart is grown in a lab? What if it's not organic but mechanical?
How about a prosthetic limb? Is a chunk of wood strapped onto someone's leg ok? What if it's made of some kind of metal or plastic/some other kind of processed material? What if it's mechanical and is more than just a solid extension meaning it can move and flex like a regular limb? What if it's computerized? What if the person has a device that exists solely to read signals from the brain relating to the movement of that leg (as opposed to some Facebook spyware garbage that phones home everything you do, all this device does is locally transmit commands from the brain for the leg) and then sends those signals locally to the prosthetic allowing the person to do everything down to wiggling their toes like they used to be able to with their original leg and foot?
Where's the line? When does lifesaving treatment stop being ok? Is enabling someone to walk again a bad thing? If a chunk of wood is ok why isn't it ok to make it work better and improve the technology? If a heart transplant is ok why isn't it ok to make it work better and improve the technology?
In the case of improving the leg, all the improvements are working towards getting the prosthetic to be on par with the original. Whereas with the heart, improving upon a regular transplant would mean making the grown or mechanical heart better than the original. Is this the line? Is the leg only ok until you start making it better than the original? What about the heart? Is the grown heart ok if it's a direct copy of the original? Is the mechanical heart not ok as a result of it either surpassing the original, not being organic, or both? If it's due to it being non-organic what about the prosthetic leg? In that case, would the prosthetic leg be ok if it was also grown in a lab as a direct copy of the original leg? Where is the line for any of this? When does it become transhumanism? Again, is strapping a chunk of wood that's been fashioned into a leg transhumanism? If it is why is this specific case not ok? If it's not when does it become that?
Was bad; flipped and helping the good guys.
Maybe, for the time being at least. I doubt anything long term, he's an elitist. He's pushing transhumanism, look at his Nueralink.
