<sigh> Here's a general definition of transhumanism: That's courtesy define:transhumanism into Google. Here's a similarly pedigreed definition of the singularity: What you're talking about is: Which you defined as "transhumanism." Effectively, you wish to discuss the singularity, but misapplied your title. "Transhumanism" is basically cybernetics: ...as applied to augmentation beyond the baseline. The whole "vanishing into the machine" thing is much more commonly discussed as the technological singularity. I gave you two discussions - the first about transhumanism (because you asked) and the second about the singularity (because apparently giving you a conversation about transhumanism pissed you off). So your turn - can you explain how this is not a response to what you posted?the belief or theory that the human race can evolve beyond its current physical and mental limitations, especially by means of science and technology.
a hypothetical moment in time when artificial intelligence and other technologies have become so advanced that humanity undergoes a dramatic and irreversible change.
There seems to be an underlying assumption that humanity has not and therefore cannot make it. And, since humanity has seemingly destroyed any hope of biologically evolving as a species, our only hope is to inject our consciousness into machines.
