Yeah, I believe the future is transhumanism. Then again, I also believe that and genetic engineering could fix a lot of social problems by making humanity adapt to our environment rather than the other way around. For example, there are problems with obesity and poorer people having limited access to healthy food. Well, imagine if they didn't need to care what they ate? If you could just eat whatever you wanted in any quantity and you'd never get things like diabetes or put on weight because of it? That'd be the kind of miracle human society could really benefit from. Same if exercise wasn't needed at all and people could just have a sedentary without any risk to their health. Ways to reduce or remove tiredness. The possibility of existing in a vacuum. The ability to survive far more trauma than originally possible, to the point you could be hit by a car at high speed and walk it off. Make it so humanity goes beyond its limitations, not just perfects them. So genetic engineering and transhumanism are the default, not the outlier. Is that crazy? Probably, but so is most science and technology when you think about it. Tell people a few hundred years ago about cars, planes, smartphones, the internet, virtual reality or anything else like that, and they'd think you were nuts too.
