Episode notes
- Transhumanism tends to see a kind of disembodied mind as being the future when we've merged with some sort of nonbiological technology, or we've become so intertwined with it, that's really the sort of the pure consciousness, purely disembodied consciousness that can somehow still be human and or transhuman maybe, but it's something that is in some sense us that we can look forward to perhaps traveling the universe, but without needing a body, which of course makes us mortal and limited if we have a body.
- Although transhumanism imagines a future where we are all disembodied minds, this is not what it is to be a human being. Being a human being is to be embodied, mortal, and subject to all sorts of limitations, but also connected to other people that are connected to our particular time and place, and living in a very rich cultural environment, as well as a rich natural environment.
