    Tranhsumanist Roots in Western Culture

    Since the philosophy of transhumanism originated in the West, many of its core concepts are deeply related to Western civilization, philosophy, and religious elements. It can be said that some of the core ideas of transhumanism can be traced back to the Italian Renaissance’s multi-talented Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) as well as philosophers, scientists and …...

    The Maitreya and the Cyborg: Connecting East and West for Enriching Transhumanist Philosophy

    Although this sketch is far from complete at assessing, interpreting, and understanding the depth of each mentioned concept, I hope it will encourage new ways of thinking and stimulate discussions for the further advancement of transhumanist philosophy. Transhumanism is a socio-philosophical movement that has evolved in the Western world under the influence of secular humanism, …...

    Maintaining Physical Continuity While Achieving Digital Immortality

    During our current technological age of the 21st century, topics like robotics, AI, mind uploading, and indefinite life extension are no longer topics of science-fiction, but rather of science-facts and possibilities. The most common one being heavily debated at the current moment is mind uploading. Once we’re able to artificially replicate the human brain, and …...

    Want to Live Indefinitely Again After Death? Try Cryonic Freezing! Part 2

    Continuing from the previous article Neuropreservation Neuropreservation is cryopreservation within the brain with surgical procedures used to remove the rest of the body, usually by means of cremation.  Neuropreservation is one of the main two options that exist for persons interested in cryonics.  The other option is fairly self explanatory, and that is “whole body” preservation.  Here are several reasons …...

    Want to Live Indefinitely Again After Death? Try Cryonic Freezing! Part 1

    The possibility of living indefinitely, or even living “again” via re-animation from cryogenic freezing is just one method that is being used by transhumanists and many others.  What is Cryonics you ask? Cryonics is best described as the preservation of humans and animals at low-temperatures, essentially “freezing” the body with the notion of potentially reviving that organism when …...

    Vaccinate your life against B.S.O.D – Insure your memories.

     …and on the third day he rose again... If we approach the subject from a non theist point of view, what we have is a re-boot. A restore of a previously working “system image”. Can we restore a person to the last known working state prior to system failure? As our Biological (analog) life get’s …...

    A Transhumanist’s Journey To Becoming Gods, Angels, and Ghosts

    At the end of the documentary Transcendent Man, Ray Kurzweil says, “Does God exist? Well, not yet.” I agree. It certainly brings up a topic that isn’t easily understood, nor well received by those dictated under dogmatic belief systems. Does God exist? Not yet. Do angels exist? Not yet. Do ghosts exist? Not yet. These …...

    Evolution and it’s Future designed by Humanity

    The Evolution theory from Charles Darwin describes how life evolves into complex form by the process of Natural Selection. This process started around approximately 3.8 billion years ago in the vast diversity of the nature on the Earth. This process is unintelligent, so there is no higher intelligent creature that drive this process. About 500 …...
