finally, a transhumanist stamp, but why did I have to do it?
transhumanism: The embracement of technology and science to overcome the limitations of biology, to evolve past the human condition and ultimately become "posthuman". if someone has a better definition than what I came up with, could you send it please
... That is how I see it, you will probably be able to find a better definition somewhere else though... whilst most transhumanists believe that by becoming posthuman we can "escape" our humanity and become something better, I believe that a posthuman is just part of the natural evolution of humanity, and is much closer to our notion of "human-ness" when we consider things like empathy, creativity, communication etc than our current biological bodies can allow for with all the limitations on our mind.
Oh and by "flesh is weak" I just mean how transient we are in such shells, in comparison to say the life of a sun which can span billions of years and yet we can barely last for 100. it was not to imply that the body or the physical is bad. I wouldn't want to be preaching a christian morality in some other form.
heh, sarcasm? I honestly can't tell... Either way, who is "the man" you speak of? The state? Religion? ...Whoever my enemy is, they do not deserve my time.

oooh thank you for that link I found his musings underneath the comic much more interesting than the actual comics. his parody of existing arguments against transhumanism is very funny.
"In living so long and spending so much time ‘thinking,’ do we not also run the risk of becoming a cold, passionless race incapable of experiencing our two emotions (fear and not fear)?"

Maybe you can work with some activist to get the man off our backs so we can do some decent research in attaching steel to body.
