The next stage of human evolution? You mean the abolition of war and poverty, the mutual toleration of religion, and a globally harmonious way of living that is holistic and sustainable? A world where the arts, sciences and spirituality are valued above commerce and exploitation? Where the sanctity of our enfleshed existence as a part of nature is respected? Where past wrongs have been redressed and everyone enjoys equality of opportunity and dignity?

A Transhumanist actively trend-spots technological trajectories with special emphasis upon feasible applications toward radical yet relatively safe human enhancements. A Transhuman proper accelerates artificial selection by early-adopting resultant enhancements, thereby willfully functioning as bio/non-bio sub-species set on transitioning into a Posthuman. A Posthuman is post, that is to say no longer strictly human... i.e. Homo evolutis. A vitally important take-away assumption of all this: Clearly, we go from growing ourselves to building ourselves.

Transubstrational
Not certain I've coined the term “transubstrational,” but I use it to concisely communicate the likelihood of living/thinking/existing in or across substrates. By substrate, I mean the material within or upon which our default, for now human, general intelligence system operates, i.e. biology. As we technologically augment ourselves, we'll ontologically wiggle our way out of the current default substrate of biology and into/across novel material structures. Most are warily familiar with the concept of uploading, that is, the transfer of a personality from the biological human brain to a suitable synthetic computing device in order to allow easier upgrading of intelligence, self-modification, and backup of the self. To counteract the reactionary yet somewhat justifiable concern over what could be considered an essentialization of our ridiculously complex human personalities, some amend that uploading will be gradual, almost unnoticeable, proceeding update by update, right up until we upgrade. Personally, I prefer to explain it in this willful way: We will think our way across.

Do you remember how, in the future, we 
were all going to be punks? 
Do you remember how technology 
wasn’t going to homogenize us, it was 
going to customize us? 
Do you remember when we were going 
to live in alleys and in cathedrals and 
everything was going to be accompanied 
by bass synths? 
Do you remember when there wasn’t 
going to be a mainstream? We were all 
going to be part of six hundred thousand 
different cliques and subcultures? 





Fuck flying cars, I just want shit to be weird.

Do you remember when science was 
going to address questions like “how do 
I make people more than human?” in- 
stead of  questions like “how do I make 
it easier to never go outside?”
