🚀🌀Transhumanism going mainstream
The transhumanism era has already begun and right now as we speak people are augmenting their intelligence editing their genomes and changing the face of what it means to be human🍄
Articles that address these issues usually couch the subject in futuristic talk that seem to make the changes that are here now look as though they're far off in the future🌈
Look around you👀 right now and you'll see traces of these crystal ball visions in the evidence of the present🎁
Today in this article from Forbes there are seven trends of the future and a very good description of how they will manifest in the world extrapolating from the vision of what is happening today and how this will birth transhumanism and consequently posthumanism in the future👀🌀🎯
Companies today are strategizing about future investments and technologies such as artificial intelligence, the internet of things, or growth around new business models. While many of these trends will make for solid investments for the next 5-10 years, fewer companies are considering the revolutionary convergence of disparate trends pulled from technology, behavioral and societal changes, and medical advances to understand how they will converge to transform society. This transformation will be messy, complex, and sometimes scary, but signals already point to a future of humanity that will blur our identities into “transhumanism.”
Our bodies will be augmented
Our thought processes will be faster and more transferable
Gamification and behavioral science will increase human productivity
We will be more empathetic
We will see the emergence of extreme personalization and customisation
Business practices will shift significantly
Conversations focused on our societal values will gain a great deal of attention
While this article does a fine job of projecting our human values of the present out into the future🎡 and how they will affect and change us✈ it seems to also miss the point that transhumanism and posthumanism are a break in the normal functioning of society🗽 and we may face unexpected and unreported facts and experiences on the other side of the Event Horizon📌 as the law of accelerating returns speeds everything within our sphere of experience🚀
