We're taking time this week clarifying each of our four journal topics and what we look for in submissions.

🦾Transhumanism:🧠

Oddly, transhumanism is our most misunderstood theme.

Most typically have never seen the word, confuse it with transgender, or think it simply means cyborgs.

Any technology that enhances and improves a human being's physical or mental capabilities is considered within the transhuman sphere.

It can be as simple as eye glasses to help you see, all the way to replacing your blood with nanites or uploading your mind.

Most #transhumanist stories feature heavy body modification along with a wide slew of tech replacing all manner of organs, limbs, and muscles. There is no limit to what can be changed.

Transhumanists usually hold an optimistic view of technology, and want to explore future societies that have this advanced tech, as well as characters who use the tech in fascinating ways or struggle to gain acceptance in society.

Stories we love to see feature transhumanists fighting against the conservative members of society to proliferate this better future for all.

Transhumanists are also hopeful and pushing for the day that we are augmented so heavily we can no longer be considered human (posthuman). We don't consider it scary or bad to not be human anymore, and in fact push for it.

We want to explore what it means to be considered human at all, or even more than human.

We know well that every increase in technology allows two things simultaneously: an increase in the capacity for humans to do good, and an easier time for us to destroy ourselves.

This is why we pair the idea with the freedom and equality inherent in #anarchism.

Anarchism moves society toward social freedom while transhumanism directs us toward physical freedom.

So melding the two makes perfect sense.

A positive transhuman future cannot happen without freedom from the profit-motive, corporations, and governments. Otherwise you get a cyberpunk story. (Which we're fine with you submitting to us!).

But transhumanism asks: What good is all the freedom in the world if you're unable to experience it due to genetic sickness or dying by the the time you're ninety?

There is a vast cosmos for our species to explore and it's time we freely ventured out, unshackled by greed or bodily limitations.

Our founders label themselves transhumanist-anarchists, and the ideology is the centerpiece of the journal's existence. So don't simply send us stories of plain cyborgs, but powerful explorations of the human condition told via a new technological reality. #WritingCommunity

I'm in a mood and desire to get back into #philosophy

Any recommendations for modern #anarchist #leftist #technology #transhumanist #Marxist #egoism #nature #antifascist #history #historyofideas #epicurean #nuclear #ageofinformation #internet #Christianity #Atheist #computersciene

Books? I'd really like a modern take on egoism that isn't saturated in fascist/libertarian thought because I personally think it makes more sense in a leftist context than individualist mythos

Dear #transhumanist s of Mastodon.....
is anyone on here NOT one?

I'm Siv. I live, work, create, and activate in #Lansing, #Michigan, #USA.

I believe effective #praxis toward global #MutualAid society must center #economic #justice and #healing traumas in the human #psyche. Cultural violence is a durable response to #scarcity.

I help run the services and facilities of the #praxisdotred #tech #collective and #hacker house, such as this #mastodon instance.

#GenderAbolitionist #transhumanist #posthumanist #libertarian #communist #leftist #vegan #introduction

I have read a thread on elsewhere on #transhumanist 3Buddhism, promoting the use of #AI and #GeneEditing and the like to reduce suffering, and am inclined to agree with concerns, not that I think having more tools to help out in this vale of sorrows is bad, just that there will be little opportunity to so use them in the presence of the ongoing full-court press of greed, anger and ignorance. 1/4

WHO’s new global health chief has close ties to globalist cabal, transhumanist agenda

#who #transhumanist

@PeggyJoan as I understand it the "litter box" was so schoolchildren could use the toilet while under something called a "shooter drill"

As for #Furries....I mean who wouldn't want to be something other than Human right now?
As a #transhumanist I'm all for morphological freedom, even if that's a long, long way away.

#introduction

internet veteran and hacker
seeking #cyberpunk #solarpunk and #transhumanist all #artists welcome #mastoart hoping to make some meaningful connections and discuss the future of technology and humanity. I love #startrek and #scifi and #rpgs. recovering #engineer and aspiring #artist. do you like #foss #linux #bsd? so do I let's talk. I love #technology

"The most reported #alien #abduction experience is the 'alien grey' abduction. During these abductions, degenerate looking humans with large black eyes steal human genetic material, insert implants and even attempt to create a 'hybrid species' using their genetics and humanity's.

While many perceive these contacts to be #extraterrestrial, due to the advanced technology and unusual appearance, it is also possible that these beings are degenerated human beings that are seeking to heal their deformities by harvesting #DNA from a time before their fall, or from an era of the human form that is not degraded. The use of genetic splicing, or #hybridization, is thus an attempt to insert themselves into our evolutionary stream. Why? Because they have failed at their own and are not interested in taking #spiritual #responsibility for that failure.

Strangely, the ' #alien ' #greys have the same culture as the #technocratic #transhumanist ' #elite ' who also seek to use #implants to monitor and track humans. Certain elite groups also obsess over #eugenics, #GeneticEngineering and the creation of #golems, or empty vessels. The activities and culture of he grey 'aliens' is the culture of the #technocratic elite."

@introvertnudist many things do seem to require some kind of observer to settle into reality, so I think on a basic level (certainly if you're going to be living in a human brain) perception had enormous power. And consensus perception does big things (not always or maybe even often great for the human condition).

I will say, I like to annoy my #futurist #transhumanist friends by pointing out that #simulationtheory and #intelligentdesign aren't functionally different. lol

@introvertnudist What you can see in the picture is my "inner universe," subjective reality. Here's a pic of the other side, the "outer universe," objective reality. It's the standard model of particle physics, all the #fermions and force #bosons (and, ok, I added gravity even though we're not really there yet). The circuit motif that surrounds them is because I'm a #transhumanist.

@Lazarou What's a #transhumanist?

Before I got the guts to #transition, I was a die-hard #transhumanist. I figured if I could just survive long enough for the Major Kusanagi treatment, I'd be okay.

It was a bad plan.

#Transhumanism in the US is being led into stagnation by incompetent and self serving leadership.

"The #Fringe Division investigates cases relating to fringe #science, from #transhumanist #experiments to the prospect of a destructive #technological #singularity to a possible collision of two #parallel #universes. The Fringe Division's work often intersects with advanced #biotechnology developed by Walter's former partner, Dr. William Bell (#LeonardNimoy), and run by Nina Sharp (#BlairBrown). The team is also watched silently by a group of bald, pale white men who are called Observers.

As an ex #Transhumanist, I still check on their status and I am always amazed that they still get it wrong. They're so caught up in the tech that they miss the human factors. It simply never fails. Here we have an admin from the Scientific #Transhumanism page on Facebook thinking the problem with the San Francisco robots is people being afraid of #skynet #TranshumanismFails #CampaignToStopKillerRobots #killerrobot

A little Spider Jerusalem to get one ready for the upcoming week.

Hello Mastodon! Here's my #introduction with hashtags.

I'm a creative living in #Aberdeenshire #Scotland

#Writing a #SciFi book that might be #HopePunk, and possibly #Transhumanist (the progressive, egalitarian kind, not the RW nutjob kind)

Also love #Synthesizers and am working on an album of #ElectronicMusic based on ideas from #mathematics
