RE: The Future: An Optimistic Look
It's a beautiful vision of the future-- mostly. I agree that automated manual labor will free people up to be more creative, which is I believe the highest expression of our humanity. The technology and transhumanism part of it make me nervous to be honest. I think the further we get from Nature and our connection to the planet, the less human we become in some ways. Also, I still have doubts that we will ever be able to transfer our consciousness completely into a new body or machine. We still have a long way to go in understanding the human mind or brain, which are not the same thing to me, so the proposition of uploading ourselves onto the internet is far-fetched and yet still also terrifying to me. Great thinking!
