At least that's more realistic than Kurzweil's 2029 estimate.

Also, I'd like to draw a distinction between transhumanism and the singularity. The singularity is when computers surpass human intelligence. Transhumanism, which I have much less faith in, involves massive improvements to the human mind and body. I believe this is <span class="math">somewhat[/spoiler] possible, but not to the extent of 'plug in the back of your head through which you can upload and download to your brain which is probably not storing information in at all the same way as your computer, but, hey, whatever'. Still, we're liable to see people with disabilities reap huge benefits in the coming decades. Also, an interface through the brains existing inputs, I believe, is possible (e.g. a "heads up display" created by firing particular retinal ganglion cells).

So, yeah, that's just an opinion I don't feel like arguing; take it or leave it. It's subject to change as time goes on and I frankly won't be surprised if I'm wrong.

For example, it's well known that one cause of the physical degeneration associated with aging involves telomeres, which are segments of DNA found at the ends of chromosomes. Every time a cell divides, its telomeres get shorter, and once a cell runs out of telomeres, it can't reproduce anymore and dies. But there's an enzyme called telomerase that reverses this process; it's one of the reasons cancer cells live so long. So why not treat regular non-cancerous cells with telomerase? In November, researchers at Harvard Medical School announced in Nature that they had done just that. They administered telomerase to a group of mice suffering from age-related degeneration. The damage went away. The mice didn't just get better; they got younger.

Raymond Kurzweil and his Singularitarians as well as everybody else should consider President Dwight Eisenhower's warning in his Farewell Address to the nation in 1961:

Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.

If anything, Singularitarians are laying the groundworks for a scientific dictatorship, via high technological means, around the world.

The mean is knowledge, the end is control. Know the human race, control the human race. Singularitarians are without any foundation that God endowed them with compassion and heart, but they can use the tools and the technological means against all of mankind, operating on the assumption that Man is imperfect and need to be "corrected" by force.

Singularity (large 'S') theoretically being humanity achieving a state whereby they uploading of consciousness into electronic form becomes reliable, even commonplace or majority.

Despite what people say, no one is claiming robot-jesus will come from nerd-heaven and scoop up all the good digital souls. It is more a school of thinking that examines the paths we would take to reach that end (uploading of consciousness into electronic form becomes reliable, even commonplace or majority) and examining what that would mean about humanity, self, things like that.

The Singularity is an aggressive cancer.Scientists have never been able to implement their idealism in the wake of military agenda.Thus the idealism of Singularitarians to guide The Singularity in a benevolent direction is akin to a holistic farce cure.Mankind must take actions similar to chemo therapy. We must put the Singularity into remission until a cure can be derived.* The first step in treatment is to unpopularise, disenchant, and disenfranchise the fanaticism of The Singularity through an aggressive social ostracism of its protagonists.* The second is to discredit it as an inevitability through bias media favoritism of it's antagonists.* The third is to further deify the unaugmented human through social reformation in favor of anachronistic correspondence. * Through Subterfuge if necesary, newer generations must become disenchanted with their parents forms of interaction, willfully adopting primitive communication through popularised retroism.* And Finally Masahiro Mori's "Uncanny Valley" must be concentrated and aimed at a public willing to reject it's scientists. Willing to imprison it's Galileo's.

What I don't understad is the fact that there is so many people opposing the idea of transhumanism with the you are playing god- argument. Transhumanism might actually allow us to become as close to gods as is possible. How is this a bad thing.

I for one, aprove of future where humans are so powerfull beings that today we would consider them gods. Why shouldn't we reach our full potentiall?

Imagine, our posthuman children, roaming acros the universe, discovering the universes secrets, exploiting it's resourses, unleashing a golden age of human domination over the galaxy. If we can make ourselves immortal beings of godlike povers, anyone who opposes this, I consider an enemy of humanity, our children and our future.

The universe and everything in it is rightfully ours, if we can impose our will over it. With our current frail bodies, this is impossible, so the logical way is to improve ourselves.

Precisely, self is an ongoing process and one that is very well connected. Simply creating a copy is different in my mind. There is a cohesiveness to existence, a continual flow of consciousness. Immortality is not of the body, but of the mind.

But the mind is not the brain.

What if you were to fall asleep, and while you slept your brain, the physical seat of the mind, was replaced with mechanical and electronic devices that perfectly replicated the function of your brain and the total state of all elements of your mind.

Assuming you were never told and the electronic device functioned perfectly, would you still be yourself?

What if you slept and your mind was simply copied into a perfect mechanical replica of yourself. a replica that would awaken, perceive and feel just as your mind would expect. Is this machine now You? What about the still-living meat-You? is that You as well?

which would experience the "correct"ongoing consciousness? what if the "original" was told they were artificial, and the artificial told they were original? would the "real" you think itself false and the "false" self think itself real?


Odd things to think about down at this end of reality.
And that is just ignoring the fact that the idea of "self is an ongoing process and one that is very well connected" is more or less wrong, the more we knoe about it. More and more "self" seems mutable and flexible. Why do you not remember everything you perceive? why do your forget some things and remember others?

If you forget something important, is it no longer a part of you? Does that mean you have changed?

But that is the problem. The mind IS the brain. Everything that I have ever perceived or felt is as a direct result of my brain. All my memories, literally everything that makes up my extended human ego is within my brain including my vantage point of the cosmos. If my brain were taken and destroyed I would cease to exist in my conscious form and would simply return to the cycle of matter never to be arranged in what was previously me ever again. Even if I am consumed by conscious lifeforms and what not, the arrangement that makes my consciousness as I currently know and experience it will never occur again. That being said, if they were to remove my brain and replace it with mechanical parts in which all my memories and experiences were uploaded I would die, my consciousness would fade and I would no longer exist as a human mind but simply as organic matter. The machine mind would essentially be born half way constructed, it would be the birth of a mind that was already full of thoughts but regardless, a separate mind and perspective of the universe. From a third party stand point, it would be impossible to tell, but consciousness isn't regarded in a third party standpoint, consciousness is as first person as it gets and as a result a copy is always the genesis of a new mind that is then free to diverge down any path separate from that which it was copied from.

to give an example: take two suburban houses that have been built exactly the same. They are identical in every fashion. For all intensive purposes, copies of one another. Now, imagine that two families move in to each house respectively. From this point of divergence the houses are no longer identical, they are now two separate houses as a result of this fork in experiences, one family might treat their house like crap while the other keeps it very well maintained ect.
Then, even previous to this point of divergence there are still TWO houses, and if a hurricane were to come along and completely wreck one of the houses, we wouldn't say it still existed simply because there is another one that is just like it.

Ok, so you are getting stuck on the "mechanical" term, even though you are already a gestalt functioning in a biological machine.

lets go a little deeper. What if i was to create a machine to perfectly scan your brain and body, including all the states of energy and chemical action, and then recreate this structure using the same materials and into the same perfect pattern.

When that being opened its eyes and said "mad-doktor teka, when will the procedure take place?" would it be You? (or at least "You, in every way at that same moment of experience)

What if i make two at once? are they both the same as each other, And You at the same moment? What if they go live in perfect replicas of your apartment, traveling a perfect replica of your trip to work every day, watering the same replica plant in the corner of the cubicle? Doing replica work and getting replica rewards.

Will they be the same? will they feel the same? if i told you that you were the fake and showed you a perfect duplicate, would your brain shut down and "exist only as organic matter"?

If i did the same with a duplicate-you, would they suddenly cease to exist in the same manner?

no no no, I wasn't getting hung up on the word mechanical, I was simply using that as a label to distinguish which one I was talking about. If you were to create three replicas of me, it would be the birth of three new consciousnesses that were simply built on the framework of everything I had experienced up until that point. If you were to then walk up to one and put a bullet between one of their eyes, he would die. His consciousness would cease to exist and thus he would NOT be immortal even though there are two copies of him right next to him. It isn't as if he would immediately snap into the experiences of one of his clones and continue living his life, he would be dead. Furthermore, life is full of too many variables for all the copies to continue experiencing things exactly the same way and as a result they WOULD diverge and if you were to come back to them 10 years later they would have differences in their way of thinking or personalities. My entire point is that copies DO NOT equal immortality. They might from an observers perspective but as I said, I don't give a fuck if others perceive us as immortal, I look at immortality as the indefinite extension of my consciousness and perspective. The AND PERSPECTIVE is the important part of that. My consciousness does me no good if I'm dead and it continues on.

always thought the idea of leaving the organic brain was not as good as leaving the organic body, but keeping the brain.
brain in a jar/ghost in a shall type of thing.

We aren't going to be able to leave the brain.

On your computern when you make a copy of derp.exe, the copy isn't the same file as the original derp.exe

What will happen is we will have multiple personality copies of ourselves, but we will not be immortal in anyway. The copy might ben but we won't be.

>Most of us will probably die before what we imagine the singularity to be actually, if ever, comes about.

The rate of innovation is getting faster and faster. Computing power doubles every 2 years or so. Cell phones become obsolete in less than a year. Boat loads of research on anything science and tech related is getting pumped out of universities.

Let's get this straight, singularity and tranhumanism of nothing to do with Science and do not belong on /sci/

Just take a look at this thread, or any other previous singularity thread for that matter. The conversation always flows the exact same way every time

>OP: In the future robots will replace humans!
>Anon1: Oh I bet the moralfags are going to be pissed
>Anon2: But guys, what about the ethical implications? Imagine what it will do to the class divide!
>Anon3: Fucking Luddites, holding back progress for the rest of us.

This isn't science, this isn't even engineering. The only thing that gets discussed in these threads is potential plot devices.

Common faggots, let's help this process...

Any ideas about what we should study/research to help?

You got it wrong bro, OP never said "in the future robots will replace humans," OP just compared TIME to slowpoke because he was writing about the singularity for a philosophy class over 3 years ago.

I don't even have to try, I guess I'm a natroll.

LOL BULLSHIT. Kurzweil predicts that man made computers will exceed human intelligence in 2029. Which is entirely possible, and completely different.

Also, lol at brains not storing information? Are you familiar with the concept of memory?

I'll be old then. They better learn how to reverse aging.

Fuck, I'm studying chemical engineering, I don't fit into this do I...
