On the Marginal Revolution blog Alex Tabarrok and Tyler Cowen are debating transhumanism. Tyler discusses how much will people be willing to genetically engineer their children when doing so makes the children be less like their parents. Most people want their children to look like themselves, and to some extent to think like themselves. We invest many thousands of dollars and many months of our time to acculturate our children. As for the idea of making kids 1% happier: It will become trivially easier to genetically engineer offspring to feel happier: give them genes that make their minds feel happy even in the face of adversity.
Regarding uploads: the ability to copy one's mind into a synthetic brain will cause some severe problems. Even without uploads the potential exists to some day infect a person (or an entire population) with a virus that changes personality and motivation. The Mormon DaVinci Code — Logos Apologia.

Photo: Lockheed Martin Wired | Dec 31, 2012 By David Axe The U.S. military is already using, or fast developing, a wide range of technologies meant to give troops what California Polytechnic State University researcher Patrick Lin calls “mutant powers.” Greater strength and endurance. But the risk, ethics and policy issues arising out of these so-called “military human enhancements” — including drugs, special nutrition, electroshock, gene therapy and robotic implants and prostheses — are poorly understood, Lin and his colleagues Maxwell Mehlman and Keith Abney posit in a new report for The Greenwall Foundation (.pdf), scheduled for wide release tomorrow.

But that’s not going to stop people from trying. We can at least pretend to know where it is we want humanity to go. We hope that laws we craft, the technologies we invent, our social habits and our ways of thinking are small forces that, when combined over time, move our species towards a better existence. Chance McMahon. H+ And now for something totally different!
For me, my introduction into one of the most dangerous ideas in history started innocently enough. It started with my own imagination, and my propensity for role-playing. I created a race for a particular game that I called the "Helios" - the Helios were a race of hyper-advanced humans whose bodies were made out of programmable matter. They resembled normal humans except for the "sinklines," which were bleed-off grooves in the skin to allow for the release of excess heat (hence their names) generated by their inbuilt power plants. Each individual Helios was a walking Swiss Army tool; their programmable matter nature meant that they had absolute control over their body. No Concept of “Perfect” in Transhumanism. I’d like to take a moment to correct the record on perfection.
The below image has been kicking around the net for the past week or so, with the allegation that by combining all the most beautiful women in the world, you get the most definitively beautiful woman in the world. Counter-intuitively, combining all of these images (and one could take issue with the initial roster, of course) results in a face that is both lovely and, well, boring. Take the final face and compare it with any of the real women at the top.
The little nuances of difference, the minute flaws, the subtle skin shades, eye shapes, blemishes, asymmetries, and oddities of the real women make them more attractive than the “perfect” combination at the bottom.

Scientists at the Mayo clinic have made a glow-in-the-dark kitty.
This is not the first time scientists have made cats glow with the green fluorescent protein (GFP) which was originally isolated from jellyfish. But these kitties are different. They do not just have the GFP gene but also a genetically engineered resistance to the feline version of HIV. The GFP and the resistance were inserted together. Mary Meets Dolly. My husband watches the new TV show "Intelligence" starring Josh Holloway (previously Sawyer from Lost) as Gabriel, a man with a rare genetic mutation (or some such) that allowed the U.S. government to put a chip in his brain.
This chip gives Gabriel unlimited access to the Internet directly into his consciousness. As an agent for a super secret intelligence agency, that comes in super handy. Gabriel, the best of all guys, uses his enhancement only for good. He saves people and catches bad guys and he looks good doing it. Category » Transhumanism « @ Helian Unbound.

Dr. Transhumanism In Doomwatch. Back in December, 2008, I had the opportunity to interview the late great Mac Tonnies about his interest in what has become known as “transhumanism.” My Dumbpiphany on Cosmism. Ben Goertzel and Giulio Prisco, both Fellows at the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technology, articulate a “philosophy” known as Cosmism. The IEET has been posting Goertzel’s musings on Cosmism on the blog and, save the incoherent ramblings of a few of Goertzel’s obsequious genuflectors, that’s about all the attention the project has received.
For a long time now, I’ve been reading both Goertzel’s blog proper as well as the posts and comments on the IEET and have been deeply conflicted as to how to respond. I have a solid foundation in philosophy, science, and religion. To say that I am part of a select group of people uniquely situated to comprehend and judge where Goertzel is trying to go with Cosmism is not overstatement of the facts.

Whole brain emulation (WBE) or mind uploading (sometimes called "mind copying" or "mind transfer") is the hypothetical process of copying mental content (including long-term memory and "self") from a particular brain substrate and copying it to another computational device, such as a digital, analog, quantum-based or software based artificial neural network.
The computational device could then run a simulation model of the brain information processing, such that it responds in essentially the same way as the original brain (i.e., indistinguishable from the brain for all relevant purposes) and experiences having a conscious mind.[1][2][3] Video About Transhumanism Mainframe Computer.
