Posthuman Pathways: Strange And Awesome Destinations On Humanity's Future Journeys

"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me"

[@lukenyhammer2213]

“I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass that you call a temple will wither and youll beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved…”

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="930">15:30</a> - the uncanny valley perception may be why one of the more common phobias in society is coulrophobia; aka fear of clowns. Many of us can remember when there was a fad a few years ago of people in creepy clown costumes roamed the streets and made spectacles of themselves. And imo the campy movie Killer Klowns from Outer Space has a large fan following these days partly as a result of this uncanny valley feeling about clowns as well. This despite the fact that most people don't even realize/remember that clowns came about from people dressing up to look like the deceased in Day of the Dead celebrations in various parts of the world especially in Hispanic cultures, leading to often scary Halloween and Margi Gras costume traditions.

In addition to the Culture series, I also highly recommend the "Orion's Arm Universe Project", very much focused on Posthuman concepts, tons of cool stories and fictional wiki like articles.

[@isaacarthurSFIA]

Definitely, it's a great source of info, and indeed has quite a few articles with me, many written long back under a pen name :)

Let's be honest, most of us would use the eternity to clear our Steam backlog. ...and never finish, because of all the cool new releases...

[@michaelhamar3305]

house of suns posthuman option is somewhat similar to what downstreamers(Manifold Trilogy) to survive heat death of the universe in first book they are 10^117 years ahead of us it would be cool to see if what is shown in Manifold Trilogy could be done in IRL?

[@logex621]

Nice!

[@CurrypkatRamonlab]

I read "house of the sun" that summer, really, really great !

[@JohnBoen]

It's another great video. At about <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="900">15:00</a>, you discuss the Uncanny Valley. Wow - that thoroughly explains why people treat autistics the way they do.

[@MikhaelHausgeist]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1870">31:10</a> It was in TV series. At least it shown in that series as finale as I remember. Unfortunately I don't put attention to any Dune related things, but there was something like several seasons Dune related TV series somewhere around 2005-2010(possibly even earlier) about childs of Paul Atradis. I don't read books and just wagely clicking TV when seen them, but it is solid that it exist and shown not exact moment, but fact.

[@ErinsAaron]

Good morning everyone!

[@youthecube]

House of Sons is such an interesting book especially Hesperus And the spirit of the air .

[@DG-iw3yw]

Lets bring The humbolt squid with us. For the banter.

[@gusty7153]

ive came at this video after experiencing prior existential nightmares from elsewhere in that uploading consiousness only copies the mind and the original mind is very much dead and gone or still around and gaining new experiences separate from the uploaded mind. and further uploading is just a copy of a copy

[@DrakeBarrow]

Yup. Real time transfer or Ship of Theseus-ing it are the way to make this work properly. People don't seem to care about the implications of copying. Even stories that explore it kinda gloss over it.

[@shardinhand1243]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="113">1:53</a> this method of change while seeming super scifi'ish is actualy potentialy not too far off for us, the first generation of geneticly enginiered self replicating nano robots was made some years back, so we have already achomished a proof of concept for nano machines, implimenting them into the body with the program to slowly replace the original cells with upgraded or even mechanical versions issint unthinkable, and would likely feel as natural as the unnotacible process of cell replacing the body already does....

The possibility of humanity never making it to the stars genuinely terrifies me. We’re meant to colonise the Universe.

[@edpistemic]

You're right to be terrified. It's very possible that sentience/intelligence/technology is an inevitable death sentence for a life form. Think how long the dinosaurs lasted compared to how long we've been here and we're already on the brink of destroying ourselves.

[@manwiththeredface7821]

No scenario is darker (and more humiliating) than the one in which humans lose sentience and regress back to the level of other animals. Be it on Earth or on other planets.

We already have brains that aren’t typical, and I honestly don’t know how you neural-typical people handle living. Having Autism is great, how do other people live without special interest; I don’t get it. What are you guys do if not for trying to learn everything about a specific topic?

What if the unites ar coils spinning true alsidementions spinn and move treu the magnetic sweer

[@Sophie.van.Rerum.37]

Treadles electrisety is like this right, normaly you us a adapter for recharge your phone the adapter is a coil of koper and a emwave goes treu it to generat electricety transvert to the battarij . Right . So a magnetic sweer around jupiter is the em wave and we have coils onboard and fly treu the magnetic sweer and move the coil by it we move treu this orbit of jupiter sounds logic right if it works like that
