There’s battle lines being drawn.

Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong.
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

It’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound.
Everybody look what’s going down ”

Die transhumanistische Bewegung https://lifeboat.com/blog/2019/11/die-transhumanistische-bewegung Mon, 11 Nov 2019 13:23:08 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2019/11/die-transhumanistische-bewegung

Global citizenship — uniting humanity in the transhuman era.


Der so genannte Transhumanismus strebt eine Verbesserung der menschlichen Biologie durch Technik und/oder genetische Eingriffe an. Er beginnt sich in aller Welt auszubreiten, auch organisatorisch/politisch. Seine Anhänger sind keine weltfremden Sektierer, sondern oft hoch dekorierte Wissenschaftler an staatlich geförderten Instituten. Es mag zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt noch übertrieben klingen zu behaupten: Die zentrale künftige Streitfrage quer durch alle politischen Lager wird die nach der technologischen „Optimierung “des Menschen sein. Ein Blick in das Mind-Set des Transhumanismus.

”Innerhalb von 30 Jahren werden wir die Technologie für superhumane Intelligenz besitzen. Kurz danach wird die Ära des Menschen enden.” (Vernor Vinge, Transhumanist, Mathematiker und Computerwissenschaftler in seinem Essay „The Coming Technological Singularity ”im Jahr 1993)

Der Transhumanismus geht um in der Welt, auf leisen Sohlen noch, vielerorts kaum wahrgenommen. Wer jedoch die Ohren spitzt, wachsam ist und ein Bewusstsein für dieses Phänomen entwickelt, kann ihm auf Schritt und Tritt begegnen. Er manifestiert sich überall dort, wo der Mensch seine angestammte Natur verlässt oder zu ändern trachtet, um seine eigene Identität zu finden. Genau genommen sind sogar beispielsweise Homosexualität (sexuelle Selbstbestimmung) und die heute um sich greifenden Tätowierungen und Piercings (morphologische Selbstbestimmung) bereits als Transhumanismus zu begreifen.

David Pearce — Foundational Values for the Future — What is God’s Utility Function? https://lifeboat.com/blog/2019/11/david-pearce-foundational-values-for-the-future-what-is-gods-utility-function Sun, 10 Nov 2019 14:22:30 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2019/11/david-pearce-foundational-values-for-the-future-what-is-gods-utility-function

“What foundational values need to be in place for an ethical utilitronium shockwave?”


What foundational values need to be in place for an ethical utilitronium shockwave?
We discuss:
- (following on from a previous video) more on Nozick’s experience machines (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxBvNbuYud0).
- given that in each age there has been different conceptions of utopia, what would utopia be for a post-human superintelligence?
- classical utilitarian vs negative utilitarian approaches to the long term good of life in the universe.
- whether a perfect decision theory would be equal to negative utilitarianism.
- how much attention should we give to preferences in improving well-being beyond eliminating suffering?
- if one does believe in the objectivity of value should we be concerned about being damned in a local maximum of well-being?
- what is God’s utility function?

“…consider Robert Nozick’s thought-experiment in conjunction with Felipe De Brigard’s inverse experience machine argument: “If you like it, does it matter if it’s real?”


Does Nozick’s experience machine prove anything?

Perhaps consider Robert Nozick’s thought-experiment in conjunction with Felipe De Brigard’s inverse experience machine argument: “If you like it, does it matter if it’s real?”
