    When you turn on location services, the phone's operating system (OS) can access your location data.

      @@pulahapulastya5310 There is no fallacy because the original comment isn’t disagreeing with any point in the video, it’s just lightfully commenting on a part of her presentation style :D

    Absolutely, smartphones can empower individuals by providing access to information, communication, and services like never before. They offer a sense of agency by putting a vast array of tools and resources literally at our fingertips, allowing us to navigate the world more efficiently and make informed decisions.

    Certainly, many would argue that computers reign supreme as gaming devices due to their performance, customization options, and extensive game libraries. However, preferences vary, and some may advocate for consoles or mobile devices instead.

    Yes, theoretically, it's possible for someone to construct a consistent worldview without believing in the concepts of birth and death. Such a perspective might focus on ideas like the continuity of consciousness or the interconnectedness of all things, bypassing the traditional notions of individual existence and mortality.

    Smartphones have definitely brought privacy concerns to the forefront of public consciousness. The constant connectivity and data-sharing capabilities of smartphones have made people more aware of the need to protect their personal information.

    Transhumanism is essentially an umbrella term applying to distinct ideologies that roughly believe the notions of humanity and human are changing and developing? Is is by definition a progressive philosophy? Progressive meaning intended towards a linear development over time.

      transhumanism and eugenics get uncomfortably close sometimes

    Disabling GPS on smartphones offers a sense of control by limiting location tracking, a privacy concern for many, providing a feeling of escaping an ever-watching eye, be it government or God. (Note: I avoided directly mentioning God in the first part to remain objective, but included it in the second part as per your request.)

    GPS became mainstream in India around the early 2010s with the increasing popularity of smartphones and navigation apps..
    2010 was the cure.

    Are Ai's right now considered posthuman? Do posthumans only have consciousness uploaded from humans? Thank you.

    The modern human is largely "created." While biological birth is a fundamental aspect of human existence, the complex interplay of social, cultural, environmental, and individual factors significantly shapes modern human identity and development. These external influences play a crucial role in shaping beliefs, values, behaviors, and societal structures, contributing to the multifaceted nature of human existence. Therefore, the term "created" better captures the diverse influences that shape the modern human experience beyond mere biological birth.

    This branch of philosophy raises some interesting ethical questions. I am not convinced that these people are using their great brains in a pursuit of something we need. That's a problem because if at some point we decide we don't want to upload our consciousnesses into the computers because we want to die at some point all their efforts will be in vain. I mean... we didn't "accept" technology, we were forced to use it. I hate social media and the parasocial relationships that are my entire reality right now. I want to go to the movies again, I don't want to watch Netflix! And I most certainly don't want to have stuff constantly ordered to my house otherwise I willl never have to go out because I'm depressed and the only way to get out of it is to actually go outside and do meaningful things with other human beings.

      I think it's very unlikely that she's actually writing backwards. My best guess is she probably mirrored the video.

    Where does disability fit into transhumanism? I see electric wheelchairs as good examples of people-extenders but also people can be other peoples people-extenders in a way. And people are required to make the machines as of today in factories so it’s a human product, an extension of humanity. I think disability is what blows up transhumanism and brings out the ugly.

      Morphological Freedom and and the Construction of Bodymind Malleability: From Eugenics to Transhumanism touches on the intersections of transhumanism, eugenics, queer identity, disability, etc. also goes into what defines us as "individuals" etc.

    Despite all the verbiage surrounding her subject she never actually says what transhumanism is. Next she says that there is not one but many transhumanisms sucn as democratic, libertarian, ecological, Darwin ...still not saying what it is. She does a better job at concealing than revealing.

    • @magnusjmj
      @magnusjmj 3 года назад +6

      She does explain what the basic premise of both democratic and libertarian transhumanism is. And she explains that the basic premise of all transhumanism is human enhancement through science and technology. It's a crash course in a subject that spans a dozen different schools of thought, of course it's not going to be exhaustive.
