What is wrong with being HUMAN?
Please, I encourage you all reading this blog to take a break from what you are doing, and watch the above piece of footage. Do not watch it because I agree with the Transhumanist campaign, I am totally opposed, but educate yourself, it could be the most important thing you do today.
The transhumanist campaign pushes a belief system that mankind, human beings are flawed. The transhumanist campaign believes we should stop being human and become a machine.
The transhumanist campaign believes that immortality is the future. They believe they can alter the course of mankind by genetic engineering, cognitive implants, and mechanised internal organs. We will stop being human at this point. Our brains rely on a feedback system of our nerve endings to allow us to experience living. We can see, hear, touch, smell and exist from the two way actions of our nerves and neurons interacting with the physical world.
Think for a moment about what happens if you live another hundred years. Firstly, it is a proven fact that after the age of approx. 80 years old our brain cells deteriorate incredibly fast, even elderly people without dementia or alzheimers start losing it, you might say. Now, imagine your mind is going but the mechanised organs running your physical system keep going, you do not have the right to suicide, that is now the right of the state. Your mind is going, and you no longer have the capacity to learn or store more memories, you NEED a cognitive implant. So part of your brain is now robot. You no longer feel, see, smell, taste, you rely on experiencing the world as an AIBO robot does. You cannot interact or be human anymore. You will be computer.
Now think about that for a moment, and forget the egg heads (TED) dream of a totalitarian, perpetual consumer capable of no free thought, or ability to commit crime or to love, or to hate.
We are HUMAN, We are NOT MECHANOID<> Just fucking ANNOYED!!
