Technoprogressive? BioConservative? Huh? Quick overview of biopolitical points of view New at IEETRecent CommentsRoko on 'Singularities Enough, and Time' (2008 07 03) Michalis on 'Getting Paid in Our Jobless Future' (2008 07 03) director on 'Human Genetic Enhancements: A Transhumanist Perspective' (2008 07 02) rich on 'Human Genetic Enhancements: A Transhumanist Perspective' (2008 07 02) jerry on 'It's the Business of the Future to be Dangerous' (2008 07 01) IEET Fora"Post-human evolution (whether of organic species or of artefacts) will proceed far faster than the changes that led to emergence, because it will be intelligently directed rather than being - like pre-human evolution - the gradual outcome of Darwinian natural selection. Changes will drastically accelerate in the present century - through intentional genetic modifications, targeted drugs, perhaps even silicon implants in to the brain. Humanity may not persist as a single species for more than a few centuries - especially if communities have by then become established away from the earth."
