What is Transhumanism?

  • difference between what is human and personhood
  • anything that hasn't happened yet is transhuman

Ants and People

  • individual ants are inconsequential, but the whole is a super organism, seems intelligent
  • Willow argues that individual humans are inconsequential in the same way, to much ado

Consciousness

What does it mean to be a part of this group?

  • why do we do this instead of just what we can do? normative ethics
  • changing the concentration of what we care about
  • can't think in a vacuum
  • have we renounced our heritage of violence in exchange for something less detrimental
