You believe in using technology and scientific advancements to enhance human capabilities and improve society on a political level.
Transhumanist politics is a political ideology that is centered on the belief that humans can and should improve their physical and mental capabilities through advanced technology. This ideology is rooted in the transhumanist philosophy, which advocates for the use of technology to enhance human intellect and physiology. The ultimate goal of transhumanist politics is to transcend the limitations of the human body, potentially leading to immortality.
The history of transhumanist politics can be traced back to the early 20th century, but it gained significant momentum in the late 20th…

How would relationships evolve if we could communicate through thought alone thanks to neural implants?
@9JQHS5K1yr1Y
The party's platform is based on the ideas and principles of transhumanist politics,human enhancement, human rights, science, life extension, and technological progress.
@9JQMYFH1yr1Y
The idea of communication between individuals using a conscious connection, would violate the fundamentals of human nature. Similar to Frankenstein's story, we would be acting against the laws of nature.
Communication between people of different ethnicities would be much better, since there would be no more communication barriers.

@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If lifespans were greatly extended, how do you imagine this would affect your life ambitions and goals?
@9KPBZ6N1yr1Y
Idk i would probably just do more of the same stuff
@9KPBHMHRepublican1yr1Y
It would make more people want to follow their dreams.
@9KPBG7HIndependent1yr1Y
It would like it, just as long as the birth rate slows down so we limit the effects of the 5th Stage of development
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If students could learn by downloading information to their brains, what would become of the traditional education system?
@9L9SVBF1yr1Y
There would be no schools and no education systems, people wouldn't be able to learn social cues by going to school and they wouldn't learn how to think about things and problem solve.
@9L9SMY91yr1Y
I don't like this idea although it is kinda smart but its a joke smart not something that should happen honestly.
@9L9SKZM1yr1Y
The traditional education system would become obsolete and cease to exist over time.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think it's ethical to use technology to eliminate human imperfections?
@9HGMKBH2yrs2Y
If a human wishes to improve themselves and it doesn’t harm others I don’t see how we can call that choice unethical. Mandating this be down to unwilling participants is of course unethical but simply having the option doesn’t strike me as unethical no.
@9HGMJD32yrs2Y
No, it is not ethical to use technology to eliminate human imperfections
@9HGMZCZ2yrs2Y
I don't think its ethical because although using the internet for research and learning more about yourself I don't think it should be used to try and cure your imperfections.
@9HGMWVBProgressive 2yrs2Y
It’s not ethical but it shouldn’t be immediately frowned upon. It also shouldn’t be taken advantage of.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would society change if we could enhance our physical abilities beyond natural limits?
@9H9Q9J3Progressive2yrs2Y
We would be divided. Many issues would be solved, such as mental disabilities, physical disabilities, and diseases that would eventually detriment your body. However, it wouldn't stop there, people would change themselves just to satisfy their insecurities. On top of the fact that it wouldn't be cheap, it would create a new class system between people, furthering increasing the divide among people.
@9H9QLHYRepublican2yrs2Y
King described the war's deleterious effects on both America's poor and Vietnamese peasants and insisted that it was morally imperative for the United States to take radical steps to halt the war through nonviolent.
@9H8ZLL72yrs2Y
No more using robots to replace work, since many people would enhance their abilities. Society would be more work based and less technology.
@9H9QLHYRepublican2yrs2Y
Developments in artificial intelligence and human enhancement technologies have the potential to remake American society in the coming decades.
@9H8Z4FF2yrs2Y
it will change in a positive way i think. If you ignore the fact that poor can not afford it.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In a society where everyone is enhanced, what do you think would be the new measure of success?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you could eliminate one of your weaknesses with technology, would you, and what might be the downsides?
@9J369QN1yr1Y
Yes If I was better with technology my life would be easier.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Would the ability to upload our consciousness to a computer preserve our humanity or redefine it?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Is it morally acceptable to aim for human immortality through technological means?
@9H4HTSF2yrs2Y
Aiming for human immortality is not necessarily a moral issue. It is an issue of technology and science attempting to find answers to the human situation.
@9C7GHWZConstitution 2yrs2Y
Trying to achieve Immortality is probably the worst thing you could do to yourself.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Should everyone have access to technology that can enhance intelligence, or would this create a new social divide?
@9H98L8N2yrs2Y
Having access to technology that can change one´s intelligence should be welcome to everyone regardless of class, race, gender, etc. Keeping this kind of technology within specific groups would create another social divide within our nation.
@9H8ZY792yrs2Y
In my opinion, it would end up leading to a new social divide.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What would friendship mean in a world where you could virtually connect with anyone's mind at any time?
@9L67ZYQ1yr1Y
It would still mean a lot because we would grow as one since we would be more connected to each other.
@9L67NRZ1yr1Y
Friendship would be more easily available but also more intrusive in this world because you could connect to your friends' minds and thoughts which they might not want you to hear.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How might animal rights and ethics evolve in a society that applies enhancement technologies beyond humans?
@9L5P8WW1yr1Y
I do not believe in Animal cruelty, however, I do believe that humans are above animals and nature
@9L5NYSXLibertarian1yr1Y
More research will be put into the way animals think and process information and how they survive as well as improving their survival rates.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If people could back up their memories, would you still trust your recollections or constantly second-guess them?
@9JH7GBY1yr1Y
Memory is already flawed, I see no problem second guessing myself currently. Although if corporations/ government controlled the process I would second guess it as propaganda.
@LibertyIsCoolAF1yr1Y
I would probably question my recollection in this scenario.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What kind of regulations, if any, do you think should govern the use of body augmentation technologies?
@9L9DMQ3 1yr1Y
I believe that these procedures should be allowed but not government subsidized. It should be paid for by the people out of pocket.
@9L9DJM61yr1Y
Regulations governing body augmentation technologies should prioritize safety, informed consent, and equitable access while also addressing ethical considerations such as potential societal impacts and human rights. Balancing innovation with safeguards against misuse or discrimination is essential to ensure that these technologies contribute positively to human well-being and societal progress.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you feel about a world where genetic engineering can guarantee that certain diseases never exist in your family?
@9JH8SJJ1yr1Y
I would welcome a world where I am able to make sure my children do not get any diseases that I might be carrying.
I think it's a good idea but at some point I feel there would be consequences.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What if you could experience life from a completely different perspective through technology; would you risk your current way of seeing the world?
@9J35ZCV1yr1Y
yes - my current perspective isnt all that special
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What aspects of human life do you believe should remain untouched by technology?
@9J36CL71yr1Y
Depends on the research of technology on the subject.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Imagine a world where your emotions can be regulated with technology; would this make life better or worse?
@9J9ZX5K1yr1Y
I think it would make life worse because then it make everyone who has a mental illness that invloves emotions to have to get this and it would most likely be against their will. Also it provideds the fact that a hacker or someone could break into that tecnology and start controling how people feel when it comes to ceritin maters such as election and laws being passed.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Would enhancing our capabilities make us more or less equal as humans?
@9HQCJVT2yrs2Y
I don't believe it would us make us any more or less humans.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Imagine being judged based on the tech-enhancements you possess or lack; how do you feel about that scenario?
@9J35XZH1yr1Y
Well everyone is different, but being judged based on the topic can make me feel like they are doing something to go against me
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
To what extent should individuals have autonomy over altering their own bodies with technology?
@9H942Z82yrs2Y
If someone feels like they're are another gender than what they believe in, then they should have the right to do what they want with their body, that being their own choice to make. Not mine.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would the notion of personal identity change if we could customize our entire physical and mental being?
@9L8YZH71yr1Y
Quite a bit! But this is a very tricky philosophical question.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How comfortable would you be competing in sports or games against someone with physical enhancements?
@9L3MHTS1yr1Y
Confident enough to see what's the difference between me and him and how much it'll take to reach his level without enhancements.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Would you favor a world where technological enhancements can prevent any form of disability, or does that pose ethical dilemmas?
@9L3LMJH1yr1Y
That would pose major ethical dilemmas. It should be the person's choice, after turning 16 or with guardian permission, whether to use enhancements or not.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Imagine a job market where tech-enhancements are the norm; what skills would still be uniquely valuable?
@9JM7C3T1yr1Y
I don't know much on this topic, so I don't have an opinion.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Would you support a form of governance that includes AI decision-making integrated with human authorities?
@9LGC3MDLibertarian1yr1Y
No, AI should not be used to replace human jobs or make decisions for humans at all.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Would the prospect of living indefinitely through technology make life more or less meaningful to you?
@9L99VM91yr1Y
No, everything ends at some point. I think life always has meaning regardless of if you believe it does or not. The fact is as some point your alive, maybe longer than most, maybe shorter. but at the end of the day your a living being with life experience.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In what ways do you think technology should or shouldn't be used to prevent or eliminate disabilities?
@9L9F4F7Libertarian1yr1Y
I think it should be used to cure things like lost limbs or things like that but tot implanted or integrated into the mind or body
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Imagine a curriculum designed for enhanced brains; what subjects do you think would be taught?
@9KS3Q5L1yr1Y
math or just overall tougher classes for those individuals
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you handle the pressure to enhance yourself in a society where such enhancements are common?
@9KGGJ461yr1Y
my body my choice, right? If I see merit I would consider.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you could gain one superhuman ability through technology, what impact do you think it would have on your personal relationships?
@9J678X91yr1Y
i would think that it would have a bad impact because i might never come home.
