> If you take a step back, human technology has indeed improved our living condition massively: Never in the history of mankind so many people have lived so comfortably and also so healthily True, but we also have the ability to kill more people more quickly. Technology presents both great opportunities and great risks. We are well served to take seriously the short, medium and long term risks of that technology. From nuclear war, to climate change, to becoming a multi-planetary and eventual a multi-solar species. It is both simultaneously true that the potential of technology is not so great as to justify destroying everything we have in it's pursuit and that the potential of technology is great enough to take some risks in it's pursuit. In the end, I think we are best served by empowering people to make their own choices. Whether that choice is to become transhuman or to live in harmony with nature, or some fusion of the two.
