Do you aspire to become more of a man, or more of a machine? Or both? A hybrid?

Why this matters

• 

• 

The bias and the trend I am witnessing right now isn’t good. It is:

Machines are superior to (puny) flesh-based humans.

Even Elon Musk has little faith in humans and humanity, and more faith in AI and machines. I don’t think there is any good modern thinker who actually is hopeful and optimistic about humans.

Anti-machine virtues

Let us consider how we desire to become machines. We desire to be more “efficient”, “productive”, and “rational” and “logical”. We don’t want “error”, and we want to be “right”. Consider how science is the new religion. And it seems the bias is that science is anti-humans. If the scientists could just get of all the pesky “wasteful” humans, they might do so. And then let their AI overlord take over.
