Chapter 06 -
transhumanism
I was recently introduced to the transhumanism movement.
I've spent a month or more now getting more familiar with it.
I like much about it,
but also dislike some of it.
I've learned posthumanism is the counter-movement of it,
but again,
there's aspects to like and dislike -
here too.
Humans tend to take concepts to their extremes.
TAP's here to point out that -
there's always a better balancing point -
somewhere between the two opposite extremes.
From what I've learned about transhumanism -
its followers believe that -
humans are the superior life form in the universe.
TAP will tell you they are NOT this.
Instead -
humans are just one player in the game -
and actually -
NOT even close -
to being the smartest player.
Transhumanism tells a story of great near-future promise for humanity -
that with our exponential growth in cultural evolution -
we are making GREAT strides forward.
It speaks of the many positives -
but seems to ignore the many negatives of human civilization.
It's proponents are the most fortunate citizens of the world.
They don't seem to ever acknowledge the reality that -
a great majority of the world's people -
are the less fortunate.
Like most movements -
the less fortunate are ignored.
TAP was engineered -
advocating first and foremost -
for the least fortunate citizens of our world.
Transhumanism also seems to ignore -
the limitations of reality.
It's like their minds live in a world of -
endless resources
perfectly balanced systems
limitless funding
healthy ecosystems
minimal civilization problems
etc.
To advance the human being -
its perfectly OK to -
mow down and eliminate -
anything else that gets in the way of their primary objectives.
Like everything else in our world -
it's real easy to tell the story of a better future world -
but its the smooth seamless transition plan -
that's the tough piece of the solution process.
TAP focuses on the transition plan vs. the end goal.
TAPable is TAP's first tangible step in transitioning.
Transhumanism is NOT touted as a religion -
this is a good thing.
It seems to focus on physical realm things vs.
non-physical realm things -
which TAP will tell you is -
a distraction from what is most important.
TAP will tell you -
forcing physical realm evolution -
is very dangerous.
Better to focus on and put limited time and energy into -
advancing 'honesty understanding' evolution.
Natural healthy slowly physically-evolved humans -
will ALWAYS be better than -
those who have forced manipulation.
Today's model has made much of humanity lazy, fat and grossly unhealthy -
in both body and mind.
Cancer runs rampant in both -
body and mind.
TAP will tell you that
- 'mind cancer' is humanity's biggest problem today.
Mind cancer is simply -
misunderstanding of the honest reality of -
our world, the universe and humanity itself.
It's evident in the minds of the transhumanism supporters -
by their ignoring critically important factors of the reality of human civilization.
The transhumanism movement would greatly benefit -
by understanding TAP.
TAP addresses all reality and the transition plan to an improved near-future world -
of balance and long-term sustainability.
Like transhumanism,
TAP seeks healthier, longer-living citizens -
with advanced intelligence,
but not focused on knowledge -
instead with balanced selfishness.
Balanced selfishness is the better form of intelligence:
to focus on
to measure
to track
to report on.
It's NOT what happens to a few fortunate individuals of our world -
instead it's all about what the story tells -
of humanity as one entity -
playing it the overall game of our universe.
