BiosyntheticLife I like this

BiosyntheticLife is a 27 year old guy from Brandon, Manitoba, Canada.
I am the calm before the storm. I am the starlight that reaches your dreams from the distance of time and space. I am biological. I am synthetic.

A good "what's what" of transhumanism, to sort things out.

Transhumanism
Jul 23, 9:47pm    (3 reviews)  futurism  http://hubpages.com/hub/Trans-humanism
From the page: "What does this all mean? In simple terms, Transhumanism is a fourth-dimensional, non-lateral mode of thinking about ourselves, the world around us, and what it means to be human. It combines all the elements of faith and need and the things that make us truly human with the fact, logic, and theory of the scientific world of data and possibility we've spawned as a species. It looks at the material world as an experience, the flesh as a vehicle (an inefficient one, but better than none at all), and puts the emphasis of survival and reproduction into the idea as opposed to the body and the world with which it interacts. Transhumanism is the response to the growing pains felt by a species whose intellectual evolution and adaptation far exceeds its penchant for physical change, and opens a new frontier of possibilities that emphasize both quality and quantity of thought alongside the synthetic evolution of a steadily more efficient human form, whether it be of flesh or something entirely different. It is that straining need for something more, something greater, the need to harness the potential to change within ourselves and reach a higher intellectual plane while still staying rooted by some means or another in the material world we know from sight, sound, taste, smell and touch. What is the next stage of humanity, this "post-human" form that Transhumanists strain so hard toward? Only time may tell for sure."
