When I see how peoples are glued to their "smart"phones or "smart"watches, I fell like transhumanism is already here and all the fearmongering about it is only engineered to prevent peoples from realising it's already here.

I'm sure there are quite a few people who feel trepidation when considering the future. I don't though. There is no point. I've lived long enough to know that worry is a complete waste and that human beings will do as human beings do. Nothing is a surprise; all has been written out long ago. Try to face each day as a new beginning. Your life is your own and there are only some things in it that you actually have control over. So focus on those.

This feels like cleverly worded bait to see and weed out who is hyper-ignorant and won't even bother looking up what "transhumanism" is before going on a rant about transgenderism.

Anyways, the premise of the topic title isn't all that interesting but I clicked it to see if anyone was dripping with sarcasm or snark like usual at the idea that you're supposedly "the only one" who feels this way and no one else ever got scared about the future. lol
Like, the question is poorly worded and easy to make fun of but that poor wording is also the only reason I decided to click onto the topic.

As for transhumanism - I don't see the issue for the most part. It starts by making it so disabled people who are missing limbs can walk or have arms again, or people with locked in syndrome can do literally anything at all again - and that's actually a pretty good thing.

I suppose my main concern comes from when the main supplier of the BCI tech that helps people with locked in syndrome is going on about "mind viruses" - that doesn't make the products he's selling that go into your brain seem safe, and makes it sound like if he can he'll do censorship directly on your brain if he deems your opinions, views, wants, etc. to be "mind viruses". For those with locked-in syndrome, this is probably better than being stuck as a vegetable but it's still extremely grim and locks out any potential for someone who values their freedom of speech / expression / etc. and also the speech / expression / etc. of others, to use the technology if it ever advances to a recreational level.
Clanker detected. Send in the clones.

I am often scared of the future but it's almost fun at this point, in all my life I have been scared of so many different things and then when I was forced to face them they always were not as horrible and hard as I feared they would have been. At this point I almost feel like the "protagonist" of a long series of pranks lol. It feels like there is somebody who is just willing to scare me but make sure that I never get harmed in the process lol. So this is also my hope, that this pattern will keep going on. If this pattern will go on just like it did until now I feel like anything could be possible! I just hope it's not going to stop eventually that would really suck...

I don't want to become a chatgpt and walking around chatgpt but I guess nobody will ask my opinion. The only thing I am in control is not continue my lineage so my children won't be turned into walking chatgpt.
...and enjoying the last few years left of the "human era". This is how cancer ridden patient lives like, I wonder? Just enjoying the life that ledt while it lasts until the end?
