This will be a good bit of news for people with golden har or treacher Collins syndrome. It’s bloody amazing what they can do for people with facial defects now.

I would argue we are already in a post-humanist world, and have been for some time, with the evolution of media, pointedly the internet, on group mentality, opinion and aligning of thought. All through intense, persistent and unrelenting social pressure, various political propagandas and essentially, marketing.

The coagulation of collective conscious intentions via the internet, dispersing opinion, values and philosophies, dispenses of the opinion forming skills of those exposed to it more and more as generations turn over. This has happened in stages since the introduction of the web and I believe can be prevalently seen in the west. In particular, in political states which lean more towards capitalism, as this effectively 'supercharges' the evolution of these mass influences.

We as humans are physically not really evolving any more, Darwinism isn't exactly hitting the spot for us, take a walk through any small town centre and I'm sure you'll find it hard to disagree (We do still hold the record as the best long distance land animal though if I'm not mistaken). We do however evolve behaviourally at an astronomical scale when compared to other species.

Whether the invocation of an effective 'hive mind' on our selves causes us to enter a state of 'post' humanism is open to debate of course, but i think on the Richter scale of change it scores rather high.

Much like me, I am also very high.

don't let me detain you then

We aren’t “the robots” we are just another biological robot. Only thing that differentiates us, is that we don’t live in balance with nature

Socialism makes sense or something to insure diversity because if we have douches getting thawed 1st they might not want to thaw the rest of us after.

everyone will fall in line on this one or get left behind

Very interesting. Would there ever be such a thing as your head is you but we can change any body part we like so it would be a body transplant.

real eye opener, there is no denial this is coming but the early adopters are sure going to be freaky

It seems like a perfect idea, instead of fighting the long life of plastics we use this to preserve.

I imagine an undertaker could inject some plastics, use a plastic coffin and we could have masses of people preserved inexpensively.

Hard to find much on this though, Gwern's piece is pretty old

No wonder you remind me of my grandma!

It's leaving the anti douches - dirty cunts I call them for purposes of accuracy - that makes the re-animation worth waiting for.
