Modern transhumanism seems to have been entirely coopted by the extreme right, the fascist right.
The Elon Musks, Peter Thiels, Alex Carps, Sam Altmans, Mark Zuckerbergs, Nick Lands, Curtis Yarvins of the world.

These are people who hate humanity. Hate. Hate. Hate. Nothing but hate for the human condition.
These are people who see capitalism as both inescapable and worth accelerating to its maximum hostility, just to line their own pockets and see how many they can kill in the process, which they take pleasure in.
They want the working classes as a living dead, as digitised servitors, as brains hooked into a corporate matrix, hopeless and powerless to do anything but work.
They watch at Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, and read Neuromancer and decided the hellish dystopia is what they want, at any cost.
Why? For the aesthetics alone? Because they expect to be the corpolords on top of the dogpile for a brief moment? Due to pure psychopathological sadism?
If you listen to them they've stated their aims:
They want city states, owned and ran by megacorps, ruled by CEO kings, when millions of serfs toil for the 0.0001% to live in a synthetic cyberutopia.

Is it any wonder then, that the modern left reacts today with a total hatred to transhumanism?
Recently there's been a whole spate of videos from leftist content creators outlining how they believe transhumanism is an ontological evil, conceptually and entirely with no distinction between various ideological forms it may take.

But it didn't use to be that way.
There used to be a prevalent current of left wing, socialist transhumanism, and of anarcho-transhumanism.
UBI for humanity's sake. Cybernetics to treat injuries and disability. Full bodily autonomy. Computer driven economies to equalise wealth and prioritize well-being. Robots to clean our streets.
It was not about life extension via designer peptides and child-blood transfusions for the elites. Not AI taking the job of the artist. Post-humanism as an enhancement of capabilities, not as a tool of nihilistic self-extinction.

So can we, and should we revive left transhumanism? Can the left at last de-demonise the term?
Because, personally, the way I see it technology is advancing whether we like it or not.
In that case I think we're morally obligated to bend the direction of the incoming technocrisis towards leftist goals, to promote a socialist transhumanism as an alternative.
If the tech like a meteor crashing into a city can't be stopped we must direct it so that we can minimise casualties.

Left transhumanists should raise public consciousness of their ideology as much as possible and if capable eventually launch cyber attacks on the Palantirs and OpenAIs of this world, physically disrupt their murder tech, burn their data centres, steal their data to repurpose it and openly reveal their secrets, again and again and again until there's no alternative but for people begin to take seriously the need for technology to serve the goal of benefiting humanity, not ending it.

Anyway that's just something that I ended up think about today.
I'm not the most knowledgeable on this matter, so please tell me what you think should be done to prevent these sick freaks from forming their cyberpunk Hitler society.
Please let me know if you think it's possible to construct a real movement out of left transhumanism!

>>2795765
Brother please don't bring up this topic here on this viper pit. 42Chan will have a transhumanism board, I'm on the dev team.

How will it "ruin it"? And I don't know anything about your personal pet imageboard project.
If it's a success then good for you, we can browse both imageboards and discuss it there too.
But there's no reason we can't discuss it here and now. If it's important then discussing it should be spoken about as widely as is possible.

Accelerationism has no specific relationship it, you're muddying the waters with your nonsense

>>2795802
thanks anon

>>2795811
What I'm saying is transhumanism is no longer relevant now that accelerationism has taken the mantle

Don't forget William Gillis coming in and crowning himself as the father of it to push his market liberal grift, then claiming he never did after being called out, yet he still protects the wikipedia page on the topic from being edited

File: 1777405081086.png (198.03 KB, 975x701, ClipboardImage.png)


>>2795813
Relevancy is nonsense, transhumanism exists as a timeless concept as long as people want to become immortal, modify themselves (in every conceivable way) and use technological / scientific means for improvement.
This is like saying "life is no longer relevant because nihilistic suicides are the new hip thing"

>>2795814
At least he doesn't fuck with the simple wiki page for now, which is decent btw
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcho-transhumanism

>>2795813
You're just saying the direct opposite of my OP post here.
The unstoppable tide of tech advancement must be redirected by force away from it's current direction of fascistic accelerationism, which is maximum growth at the cost of human extinction.
Accelerationism is inherently nihilistic and anti-human, while transhumanism can be used for beneficial or harmful purposes depending on the ideology driving it and it's up to us to create a beneficial transhumanism rather than one that transforms the proletariat into a slave caste or dead which is what the Thiels etc of the world want.

>>2795826
Not all strains of accelerationism are nihilistic and anti-human, but even so transhumanists have a right to subscribe to a nihilistic strain of thought and be critical of humanity and its flaws.

>>2795827
I think N1x / Nyx (the former >>>/dead/ admin from the old site)'s views quite line up with that just fine. Although N1x's got some sort of distorted view on transhumanism.
https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/n1x-hello-from-the-wired
https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/n1x-gender-acceleration-a-blackpaper
https://unlife.nyx.land/

>>2795827
There's a distinction between personal philosophical nihilism "life has no inherent meaning and it's meaningless to create my own purpose, boohoo I'm so edgy and/or depressed" which while not beneficial to humanity is largely harmless on an individual scale;
Versus the accelerationist billionaire nihilism "I hate existence and want civilisation to collapse into the worst possible dystopia for all except the top 0.001% of richest people" which in many ways is more akin to the Russian nihilists of the 1800s who committed crime and chaos just because, although at least the Russian nihilists had the excuse of suffering extreme poverty under Tsarist serfdom.

>>2795827
I mean ultimately it boils down to individual interest vs what humanity is doing. And since the individual depends on the rest of civilization they are forced to compromise unless everyone takes on their outlook or allows them to become (in the literal material sense, not affirming their psyche) what they want.

Like if humanity's gone unreasonably luddic but the individual wants technology, then the rest of humanity becomes an enemy. Of course it would be best to look in the interest of all of humanity and try to bring collective betterment but when they trample on you it becomes a matter of survival.

How is any common person now supposed to reach for longevity let-alone immortality when the concept is being demonized by religions and most of the world population is religious? And only billionaires are seeking it for themselves so when they speak of it they are being ostracized by workers who think they share the greed of the billionaires.

>>2795836
>Versus the accelerationist billionaire nihilism "I hate existence
Again not in contradiction, a transhumanist might hate existence and want another existence.
>want civilisation to collapse into the worst possible dystopia
A transhumanist might think its best to start all over, its not in contradiction, although it is retarded, its not like anyone can force that to happen, civilization will either live or fall apart on its own accord, so believing civilization will fall is also not in contradiction with transhumanism. Some transhumanists are trying to reconcile with post-civ strains of thought.

I feel like you just disagree with Nechayev on the last part. I adore Nechayev but his approach was ultimately most destructive to himself and is idealistic to try to implement on a wide-scale.

The biggest enemy of transhumanism is reactionaries who wish to "return" or stagnate (prevent growth, development and generally stand behind anti-intellectualism).

>>2795844 (Me)
Btw I know why you hate nihilism, William Gillis brainwashed you, please be more open minded. Your mortal enemy are the bourgeois and reactionaries.
The worst reactionaries to ever exist will always be primmies and neo-luddites (if you don't believe the original luddites were shit, see Marx's condemnation of the luddites though).

And yet we still don't have to sweat over primmies, they mostly end up killing themselves in adventurism or random people (like MOVE and other religious doomsday cults) or are simply LARPing disgruntled online retards.


Also a correction on my error
>Versus the accelerationist billionaire nihilism "I hate existence
<Again not in contradiction,
Scratch the billionaire part though I didn't read it on accident.
Billionaires are obviously in contradiction because capital is a death drive and this mode of production is not sustainable, its self-destructive.

>>2795847
Posthumanism cannot come to be without transhumanism first. It's in the name - transitioning, transcending. It is the transitional phase between the present and posthumanism.

Until humanity utilizes the environment to evolve into something else and bring an end to humanity, it will have to follow transhumanism.

>>2795852
Its an ultimatum at that, either death or evolution, and with evolution ends the species which becomes something else. We have sapience and should be able to control our own evolutionary path through transhumanism accordingly.

What is the transhumanist’s plan for climate change?

>>2795943
Transhumanism and environmentalism are distinct topics so you could find a full range of differing opinions. It's not an organised cohesive singular entity with a manifesto and outlines for each topic.
That said I would expect amongst basically all left and anarcho transhumanists, there is a full recognition of the deep shit we're in and support for efforts to reduce climate change. Technology brought us solar, wind turbines, biofuel. Utilise them to replace oil and gas. Maximal clean energy and development of new technologies to improve the environment and reduce emissions.

>>2795943
Personally (and I can only write for myself, transhumanists don't have a united opinion on the matter) regrowth and scaling down of certain industries and adopting a utilitarian style of economic planning to figure out how to be most productive in accordance to scarcity, that is to encourage scientific study on overcoming scarcity and imposing certain limits for society.
If we can figure out how to terraform we should clean up our shit here first on Earth.

Also anti-civ types say that civilization is inherently unsustainable, if they're right we gotta like stop the breeding and become smaller ASAP, half life 2 Dr. Breen type shit. But that's just their thesis from their analysis.

>>2795960
Another form of energy that isn't electricity would be nice, we're depleting our resources to produce electricity, the Dyson sphere ambition is a literal pie in the sky for now.

Also if primmies and neo-luddites win we're gonna burn all the forests down in revenge. Humanity could have always destroyed itself at any point in time after the discovery of fire. If they make us "go back" we take torches and start burning everything.

Luddites weren't against technology they were for worker's rights and against machines replacing human livelihoods and against handcrafted goods being replaced with low quality mass produced slop.

>>2796080

>>2798133
>You cannot prolong life beyond its limit; thats the point
That's simply wrong, we have literally extended our life expectancy. You're so stuck up on some "natural limit" that you forget we have sapience to research our limitations and overcome them in the first place, that is pure anti-intellectualism.

I don't believe in the Many Worlds interpretation of physics. Neither do most professional physicists. A poll of professional physicists at a conference for physicists in Austria in 2011 found 18% believe in the Many Worlds interpretation.
But if it is true, then because an observer can't observe their own death a consciousness must persist in timeline in which they live the longest until their chance of survival across all timelines hits 0%.
Note you will still die from other people's perspectives, and there will be many versions of you who will die. But your consciousness will be in the world line where you don't die.
If Many Worlds is true it stands to reason that at least from your own subjective perspective you will live to see and experience using some form of life extension technology, that is if the chance of it being developed in your lifetime isn't 0%.
This does of course all rest on the aforementioned many worlds theory, which I find highly unlikely to be true, but it makes for am interesting thought experiment while getting drunk or high at least.

What is the limit?
20,000 years ago, 20-30 was the typical "limit" of a human life span.
500 years ago it was about 40-50.
300 years ago it was 50-60.
100 years ago it was 60-70.
Today it's about 70-90. With a rare few living to 100+.
Some people suggest 120 is the "hard limit" of a natural lifespan. But who knows what changes may yet come?

>>2798145
>The disease is spread by the same people selling a cure

Nore neo-luddite kaczynski drivel. You can make the argument that its not sustainable in the long-run, but not that it lowered life expectancy in the present.

>I am alive; I don't want to become a rock which can think.
You want to become a rock which cannot think, got it. Just decompose and you'll get there, you're wasting sapience anyway.

>>2798183
Why should thinking last forever, anyway?
Thinking is not living, and you prove that point.

>>2798174
276 years of accommodating to all of humanity, obviously a massive waste of resources, we don't need to waste resources and produce for religious and reactionary retards.

>>2798189
The futility of industry is that the whole operation is burning to coal to burn more coal, like how capitalism is spending money to make more money. It is not productive, but inherently destructive, since it is a vicious circle, which also requires global human enslavement.

>>2798187
>Why should thinking last forever, anyway?
If something is transcendental to thought then it should come. If thought is the limit then controlling its duration is a path of desire.

>>2798194
When you become a rock, will you ever sleep or get tired, or will you be in a permanent undead hell of relentless thinking?

>>2798191
That's why we should be more utilitarian with our approach to scarce resources, if a resource is used to produce more than it takes then obviously that is productive. Like growing plants.

>>2798198
I will do what I can for as long as I desire regardless of becoming.

>>2798199
Why would we grow plants when we can just hunt animals?
A single cow in beef can feed a family for a year with its meat.
The reason agriculture became so popular is because grains feeds slaves who tend the fields.
>>2798204
Sleep ends the day for an animal; it is the pleasure of unbecoming.

>>2798208
>Why would we grow plants when we can just hunt animals?
By the same logic, why do we hunt animals when we can just cannibalize each-other?

>>2798211
Cannibalism is a pattern across various tribes, so its not out of the question; the same way the incest taboo only occurs at a certain stage of development. I would say that hunting other animals probably builds trust in a tribe rather than building suspicion.

Hunting was a mistake and unsustainable, it lead to civilization and technology. Men should make lots of children with women and be free to eat them like Cronus, that was the best of humanity, if you don't want to eat children you want to become a rock.

The only thing i like about transhumanism is extending human life span and thats it

>>2798215
I suppose you prefer atomic bombs

>>2798217
Humanity truly was best when you could grow up to the age of 5 and then have your mother tear you limb to limb to eat you.

>>2798218
If this was the case, how did humanity last so long?
You are projecting the horrors of civilization onto savagery.

>>2798220
>If this was the case, how did humanity last so long?
Because they didn't listen to morons like you, they killed them.

>>2798220
>You are projecting the horrors of civilization onto savagery.
Savagery literally embodies cannibalism from prior to civilization.

The worst product of civilization is primitivism.

>>2798221
>listen
Were the mothers giving ideological defenses?
>>2798222
And civilization means torture, slavery and war
Cannibalism is perfectly tame compared to the rest

You can get the best of an anprim life via transhumanism.
Walk into the holodeck, plug your brain into the virtual world, and got live in a virtual mudhut, get impaled by a digital wild boar and die of cyber-dysentery safely as many times over as you want.

>>2798233
Why would i put my brain into a rock to touch grass, when i can jjst touch grass?

>>2798235
Because then you can touch grass for 1 million years

>>2798231
No those mothers and their bastard sons like you got killed off by the rest of the tribes, which eventually civilized.

>>2798231
>And civilization means torture, slavery and war
Torture, slavery and war existed prior to civilization.

>>2798241
>bastard
Marriage is a civilizational concept
>>2798242
No they didnt.

>>2798245
>No they didnt.
They did, we can even see those exhibited in apes.
Every human that has lived before civilization (the growth of cities) has been able to confine another person enslaving them, torture them by physical damage and tribes have waged wars against each-other.

>>2798245
>Marriage is a civilizational concept
That's one way to call your mother a whore.

>>2798249
Yes, my mother was promiscuous, which is not a disagreeable thing.
>>2798247
Not all conflicts are wars
Wars are conflicts between states for the acquisition of resources; e.g. rape of women, theft of property and conquest of territory.

Torture can only come from malice, which is a result of repression and resentment, which don't exist before civilization. And enslavement is not exhibited anywhere in the animal kingdom.

>>2798250
>Yes, my mother was promiscuous, which is not a disagreeable thing.
Yes and you are an unwanted pregnancy, very apparent from the way you turned out.

>>2798253
Of course, since my mother was young when she had me

>>2798250
>Wars are conflicts between states
That's semantics to narrow down the definition in order to idealize the reactionary primitive life utopia. A war between tribes is for the acquisition of resources the same way: rape of women, theft of belongings and contest of territory.
>which is a result of repression and resentment, which don't exist before civilization.
That's also wrong, repression and resentment existed for as long as humanity did.

>>2798258
>the reactionary primitive life utopia
As opposed to the progress of nuclear war, i presume
>A war between tribes
Which only really begins during the neolithic era.
>repression and resentment existed for as long as humanity did.
No they havent. Hatred is a uniquely civilized emotion.

>>2798255
Life would be better for you without civilization, unwanted pregnancies were either left in the wild to die or terminated after birth. Embrace your limits, embrace death and kill yourself.

>>2798267
>No they havent. Hatred is a uniquely civilized emotion.
Hatred exists as an emotion in all sentient animals.

>>2798268
>embrace death
That seems to be your theme.

>>2798270
No it doesnt.
Hatred is the impotence of will; it grows from fantasies of retribution, which dont fester in the minds of the innocent.

>>2798267
>As opposed to the progress of nuclear war, i presume
At the very least it will give you what you're looking for - coming to terms with death.
>>2798271
My theme? That's your theme, come to terms with your limit.

>>2798277
I have come to terms with my limits, which is the source of my sanity.

>>2798273
Even animals other than humans are capable of retribution.

>>2798278
Your sanity consists of self-loathing and waiting to die. That's less functional than most insane people.

>>2798279
I've never seen it.
Yet almost every civilized man is full of ugly emotions, like shame, fear, hatred, envy, etc.
>>2798281
>self-loathing
Self-loathing is more befitting a civilized creature, which must learn to domesticate itself.

>>2798283
>Yet almost every civilized man is full of ugly emotions, like shame, fear, hatred, envy, etc.
All of those have existed as long as humanity and sapience itself.

>>2798283
>Self-loathing is more befitting a civilized creature, which must learn to domesticate itself.
Yeah like yourself, you are the worst product of civilization.

>>2798289
No they havent.
Only enslaved animals can learn to feel shame.
Slavery is the hallmark of civilization.
>>2798290
>no u
I guess you're at the end of your tether.
Anyway, like I say - Accept reality, and be sane, my friend.

We don't need civilization as long as we get to exterminate the religious and the primitivists who go against development and glorify the poverty of regress. Civilization protects the primitivists and enables them to use the fruits of production to express their abhorrent views without facing consequences, in wild nature the strongest wins and the strongest is always the smarter.

Primmies have a crony view of anthropology idealizing non-existent pasts and only exist to sabotage any people trying to resolve present problems, the useful idiots of competing rulers.

Civilization is characterized by the growth of cities, we don't need cities to conduct science, let us form migratory habits to go around the world and rid it of species traitors impairing the prolonging of life and the possibilities of interacting with the environment.

>>2798299
>Slavery is the hallmark of civilization.
Slavery has existed prior to civilization, as long as humanity has existed people have confined others against their wishes.

>>2798299
>Anyway, like I say - Accept reality, and be sane, my friend.
Sanity as a word did not exist prior to civilization.

>>2795765
OP you see what I told you? Viper pit, full of reactionaries.

>>2798305
>as long as humanity has existed people have confined others against their wishes.
Wrong. Read Origin of the Family. In hunter-gatherer society there was a time before slavery when captives of enemy peoples were simply killed or, if there was room, integrated.

>>2798319
Read common sense, if people wanted to confine each-other they always could.

>>2798319
Were native americans civilized to practice slavery?

>>2798322
I.e. before colonizers even arrived - Tlingit, Haida, and Kwakwaka’wakw where war captives were enslaved, slaves could be bought, sold, or inherited, slaves performed labor and had very low status all the while the tribes were still hunter-gatherers as small mobile bands with no permanent settlements.

>>2798174
Eat shit then primmie

>Wojak in 2026

I'm sure humans in the far future, after being genetically modified and riddled with cybernetic implants, would disgust most modern people, but I'm not sure how you could oppose it without going against industrial, instrumental logic. Might as well throw away your glasses and computers and heart transplants. I wonder if the sex instinct will be destroyed as a redundant waste of time, or maybe used as a psychological carrot. Do X labor, receive Y pleasure. Or we might be desexualized, but the reward would be a bit of wire head euphoria.

>>2795765
>Modern transhumanism seems to have been entirely coopted by the extreme right, the fascist right.
bc leftist transhuminism is predicated on popular ownership of the means of production

Another example. Also why The Onion acquiring InfoWars will never be able to parody the actual thing.
