>>6413237

I have a big problem with the phrase "where additional people are no longer necessary for survival or progress." I can't even figure out what you're trying to say. Are you concerned about overpopulation or something?

And transhumanism is for quacks.

I'm concerned about it and I hope it goes as smoothly as possible, but I also think it's totally possible to do just that.

Current estimates have population peaking ca. 2050 at a little more than 9 trillion, certainly less than 11 trillion. Current food outputs could sustain the lower end of that figure just by increasing distribution efficiency, and the enormous increase in agriculture efficiency which prevented Paul Ehrlich's "Population Bomb" from exploding indicate that technological hope is hardly misplaced (and you should obviously agree as someone who even tinkers with Transhumanism).

Go ahead m8, have some kids.

Overpopulation is a nonissue in modernized societies. If the West stopped letting in so many immigrants we'd be actually decreasing in number.

Africa is Africa, so they could stand shoulder to shoulder over the entire continent and it wouldn't effect us much besides the previously mentioned immigration rate.

>And transhumanism is for quacks.

Ya I agree. It strikes me as just a 21st iteration of utopianism. I also think they ignore how contingent tech is, and how unpredictable the course of history is. For all we know global warming could send civilization in to a dark age in the coming decades.

Every thread is the same way.

Ethical/moral realists get butt-mad, moral relativists try to get some sort of justification for their claims, then moral realists end with:

>You just aren't as well read as me.

Or

>You don't know what you're talking about.

Or just plain

>*tips fedora*

But they never, ever, back up their assertions. They just whine and leave.
