Hello there, online community of people. You have arrived at my little corner of the internet (like there is a definite corner, duh). As some may have noticed simply by glancing over my interests, you will see that it mentions "H+", and I know that for the most part, a lot of you are probably not aware what that is, I have a looong list for you right here that you should read-... OR you could just try to catch me on a message and I'd be more than willing to fill you in on the subject. To begin with, H+ is a transhumanist organization. This pretty much paves way for the next part; What exactly IS transhumanism then? Well, to quote from my beloved superiors, since they are so much better at this than I am and that we actually have an official form for this question, here goes; Transhumanism is a way of thinking about the future that is based on the premise that the human species in its current form does not represent the end of our development but rather a comparatively early phase. We formally define it as follows: (1) The intellectual and cultural movement that affirms the possibility and desirability of fundamentally improving the human condition through applied reason, especially by developing and making widely available technologies to eliminate aging and to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities. (2) The study of the ramifications, promises, and potential dangers of technologies that will enable us to overcome fundamental human limitations, and the related study of the ethical matters involved in developing and using such technologies. Transhumanism can be viewed as an extension of humanism, from which it is partially derived. Humanists believe that humans matter, that individuals matter. We might not be perfect, but we can make things better by promoting rational thinking, freedom, tolerance, democracy, and concern for our fellow human beings. Transhumanists agree with this but also emphasize what we have the potential to become. Just as we use rational means to improve the human condition and the external world, we can also use such means to improve ourselves, the human organism. In doing so, we are not limited to traditional humanistic methods, such as education and cultural development. We can also use technological means that will eventually enable us to move beyond what some would think of as “human”.
Studying scientific subjects in almost all areas. Physics, math, biology, chemistry, you name it. I will probably be working with nanotechnology, artificial intelligence or other subjects that we can use on improving the human condition-... There's quite a few and I still haven't decided entirely on where I may want to start. Humanity+, Transhumanism, gaming, playing guitar (not as often as I once did, but I still do play guitar), singing, few other geeky things here and there, but in spite of that, I'm quite outgoing when needed, lol. Oh, and if anyone might be wondering about my nationality, let's just say I'm generally European, I'm a mix of seven nationalities so you may just call me a citizen of Earth.
Dislikes
Cynicism, people who try to give you "a certain hat on" such as trying to box you as a stereotype or pulling their beliefs down over your head.
