Does Transhumanism Bring More People to Tech? Anonymous 2017-04-21 12:13:45 Post No. 59992666 [Report]

I've recently seen conversation about this pop up with greater frequency, and it got me curious.

Do people like Kurzweil garner new interest, or do such fantastic claims, when repeated often enough, create a diffusion of responsibility? I've made a trek to Reddit due to their having boards specifically on the topic, but I see relatively little input from computer engineers or biomedical engineers, mostly just high schoolers and twenty-somethings talking about how awesome the future is, as if predictions are set in stone.

>The only transhumanism I am interested in would be the one that uploads my conciousness onto the internet.

Our current understanding of consciousness makes that impossible.

Just take a gander at reddit's futurology board.

I do rarely find it brought up as a point of discussion among other CE students.

My intro to ECE professor only talked about it once and that was by saying "Grad school is where you get into bleeding edge stuff"

It attracts a lot of atheists that want to have their materialist cake and eat their afterlife too, but not many of them become productive in the field

That statement is only a truth in retrospect. You can't make magical claims and then fill in the technology behind them. You develop technology and then see the comparative gap between it and lower tech.
