I tweeted this article on transhumanism. What I found fascinating about it was that Randal Koene, a transhumanist, was asked by the interviewer
wouldn’t a radical fusion of ourselves with technology amount, in the end, to a final capitulation of the very idea of personhood?
Koene replied by saying
Hearing you say that makes it clear that there’s a major hurdle there for people. I’m more comfortable than you are with the idea, but that’s because I’ve been exposed to it for so long that I’ve just got used to it.
We have a choice don’t we?
