What subjects should I study in university in order to make meaningful contributions to transhumanism?

Mechanical engineering? Biology? Both?

"Transhumanism" could include many types of human enhancement scientific fields. If that is your goal, then you should go with whatever interests you more. Biomedical engineering, Computer science, Biology will all play a role, eventually. However, there are no significant transhumanist research centres because there is little funding for stuff that aims to improve upon the normal level of the human condition compared to helping sick or disabled people that cost a great deal to the government, so I'd say don't even bother studying STEM just to engage in transhumanist research, you were born too early. Do what you like and get used to the idea of researching/engineering down-to-Earth non-scifi shit.

I'd suggest he goes with Bionics first, this way he could tackle both the restorement of mobility on crippled people and the upgrade of mobility on healthy people through application of what's learnt helping the sick

Then if he's fully bent on trnashumanism just pick another field related to it that he likes, say nanotechnology or bioengineering or something like that and start applying all that he learns to try and further the development of the human body


Personally I'd probably go for Comp Sci if I were him, it's our best shot at making our brains better which would easily lead to faster progression through all other fields of transhumanism

Fuck that, ethics would only hinder transhumanism

Biology. CRISPR and gene modding is the gateway to immortality

Not op, but very interested.

Human Computer Interaction. It would help to know how people behave.

Oh and the Physiology of Humans is taught in Psychology (Biology, Chemistry, etc.), might be an alternate perspective when studying Medical Devices.

Elaborate.

Is there really an alternative to geology?
