Do you envision a future where you're a cute cyborg girl with a cute cyborg girlfriend (with a dick maybe)? Do you want to kick the patriarchy in the balls with your cute, powerful, nanomachine-infused legs? Do you want to feel safe wearing a cute skirt wherever you please? Do you want to hack into government mainframes and turn their police-bots against them? Then this is thread for you!!

Together let's leave our flesh behind and evolve into something smarter, stronger, faster, and most importantly, cuter.

we don't own our flesh, we're merely renting it for the duration of our short meaningless lives, dont destroy something that isnt yours

I'd rather stay a guy. I can't imagine being a cyborg girl would be pleasant, at least for my mental state, it would probably feel wrong on a visceral level.

As far as transhumanism goes though, yeah I'm fine with that. I mean, I'm not pushing all for it because I don't care to live forever, digital or otherwise, but I figure if all the things transhumanists talk about come to fruition, I'd be a fool not to improve my quality of life for the sake of staying purely human.

Actually, there's an anime that talks about this topic, a future where everyone has full control over their bodies and memories ((spoiler alert: its a bad future xDDD))

i welcome our cyborg overlords.

sign me the fuck up im donating my brain to science (probably before i expire) so they can freeze it for when they have my robot body ready

"He was shown the smallness and tinsel emptiness of the little Earth gods, with their petty, human interests and connections - their hatreds, rages, loves and vanities; their craving for praise and sacrifice and their demands for faiths contrary to reason and nature."


"...it stimulates the part of the brain called "shatners-bassoon", and that's the bit of the brain that deals with...time perception..."

kaiba is a really good anime but on a masaaki yuasa scale it's not his best work

This scene always made me scream.

rtil

yeah he really fucked up there

he'll probably grow up to have a harem and do nothing with it

the anime will sell at least 30k

i think one problem i would have with the future where everyone installs nanomachines inside themselves is the extent to which i would be able to trust the machine manufacturers

like, do i trust that my Android phone isn't constantly tracking me? honestly, it wouldn't be too hard for the nsa to be all up in that shit. same thing for apple computers (software backdoors) and gmail accounts (easily monitored).

it doesn't even have to be malicious, you could get Ford Pinto-tier disasters in essential body parts and it would be a lot of suffering if that happened. this gets even worse if you want to tinker around with your brain by implanting processors in there or something.
