I see coming of one long thread!
Great job!
Well, I have for some time David Pearce page bookmark - as I am interested in “transhumanists“ ideas.
What do we say ( if possible ) about such “paradise“ human condition? Can we even imagine that? Elimination of all forms of cruelty, malaise and
suffering.
“Designer mood“ drug are just the first step, according to Pierce - but in a long term he envisions “redesign the whole global ecosystem -
rewriting of the whole vertebrate genome - no suffering at all“. No Buddha needed any more. Just good biotechnology.
You would not need that - coz , as genetically engineered being - you would not even know, what suffering is, you would be pre-programmed for
happiness. Only the “old“ one would know such thing ( but in 3rd millennium - they will not even exist) . You will be completely new spices.
Before the discussion , can we achieve that ...do we or do we not want happiness..peace...love...harmony...and what is the difference between
achieving this “natural“ and biotech? What is the difference of genetic engineering ( or now day enchantments) our body to be healthy, strong and
pretty and “emotional“ design?
What is the role of pain? What pain teaches us?
Would evolution strike back?
