>A vision that sees humanity as a hypostatized species of its biome when, indeed, we are simply one of the incommensurable forms of sentient life randomly engendered, by nature, to be a vessel that carries around our genes. There is no intrinsic nature to life forms, we as homo sapiens are just an ephemeral chapter in this slow and endless vortex of biomolecular mutations. Life struggle is to save itself through the species, but not the species itself (we wouldn't even be here now if that wasn't the case, since the demise of many species was imperative to the human dawn). There is no "species" to be saved, because every life forms is just a cycle in this infinite swirling of adaptations. Since adaptability is quintessential to survival, life ended up evolving into sapience with this self-consciousness.
>By acknowledging these facts, we already debunked the major concerns about posthumanism. The lasting matter would only be fear from the unknown: the conservative attachment to the configuration of current sapient living experience. As Ford said: If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses. We can't appreciate precisely how life would be when experienced through a collective mind or through the lens of the synthesis of synthetic and organic life form (potentially much better in my perspective), but what we do know is about our limitations that caused so much misery and suffering for hundreds of thousands of years without hope to break free from our congenital deficiencies.
In the words of our overlord, JC Denton: “Is human nature perfect? No. Therefore, improvements are to be welcomed".

>no gene editing
But that`s boring. The future belongs to the transhuman.

Yes. Cybernetics, nanomachines, biomodifications, genetic engineering and moravec transfers will help us to to augment our bodies and minds.

Of course! I would be willing to undergo the moravec transfer and at first transform my brain into a more optimal substrate until I can attempt to shift my mind to become more digital and thus capable to endure until the deep time, to transcend its limit and achieve enlightment.

I will be 54 and I will try my best to get on the transhumanist path.
