Transhumanists On Their Real And Synthetic Future Selves


On a personal level, I most look forward to becoming a person in a real rather than an imaginary sense. To that end, I am keenly interested in artificial intelligence going beyond the level where it can ace the Turing test (and is accepted as a mind with a level of general intelligence at least as broad as a human mind) and reaching a stage where it is possible to create a specific mind. Kind of a Turing test where the goal is to convince the judges it is my ‘self’ they are interacting with. Generally speaking, I look forward to a time when a ‘Second Life’ is something each person expects to acquire- and does. The first life happens when someone is born. The second life is achieved when the individual finds the answer to the questions ‘who am I meant to be?; what am I supposed to do with my life?’, and they succeed in creating/becoming that idealized self.

Sheeple



The Black Sheep tries to warn its friends with the truth it has seen, unfortunately herd mentality kicks in for the Sheeple, and they run in fear from the black sheep and keep to the safety of their flock.

Having tried to no avail to awaken his peers, the Black Sheep have no other choice but to unite with each other and escape the impending doom.

What color Sheep are you?
