Isn't ego what all humans have unfortunately evolved into? Sometimes I think it's all that separates us from other species. That and greed and all the other deadly sins.

Sad to say this, but the banking sector is a by-product of the welfare state, i.e normal democracy. In a typical Libertarian state, there will be no exploitative banking sector. But since 90% of the humans don't have the capability to think freely, we have welfare democracy.

In many ways it feels like we are de-evolving these days.  I think it is time for some organic evaluational growth spurts for mankind and fast.  Not to fast mind you but fast enough for people to wake up and stop degenerating.

[sana8410]

wait till they figure how to unlock how to stop cells from dying and brain and heart from aging, what if this was the immortality that we are searching for all this time?   What if that is what god wants us to figure out?

[beetcoin]

life is too fucking grim for me to want to live forever. and if we were able to achieve reverse-aging technology, it would be pretty fucked up. people would still die (from accidents and injuries/trauma), but not enough to scale with the amount of new births we are having.. that would cause a huge problem with the population.

[counter]

I'm not at all interested in living forever but If we could extend life for another 100 years or so I'd be very happy with that.  Life seems to be very fast and spending more times with my loved ones would be priceless IMO.

[Acidyo]

Why not? I would like some parts of ours to evolve further.

5 fingers? fuck that, gimme 8 so I can type easier. Our eyes? Do you know how shitty our eyes are compared to other animals? It's cause they were evolved to work perfectly under water, then when we started walking on land we had to evolve it from that so it never got perfect. We can't see things right in front of our noses, we cant see things 500 meters away in detail, we can't even see in the night which fucking sucks.

Evolve that shit to the max level and then I'll be satisfied.

[luckyluigi]

I don't understand people who don't want to stop aging. It makes no sense to me. Some guy in his 30s may say now that he wouldn't like to live forever, well, wait till you're 70. Aging is a disease, it's just one that we don't know how to cure yet.

And hey, if you get bored of life at 200 years old, you'd be free to just kill yourself. That doesn't mean everyone should die because of some weird rationalization, or worse, religion.

If we stopped aging, people would actually start caring about the environment, because it'd no longer be someone else's problem, it'd be YOUR problem.

And the overpopulation argument is also bullcrap. If people knew they wouldn't age, maybe they wouldn't pump out babies like it's their job. Richer people already have less babies than the poor. The world isn't even close to being overpopulated yet, either, it's just the distribution of wealth that's a problem. And also in the future, synthetic food will be available, and we will start to colonize other planets, etc...

Saying that stopping aging would be bad because of overpopulation is like saying curing cancer would be a bad thing, because too many people would survive!

That's a bit of paradox, since it's also in human nature to care for others, and helping people in need makes us feel good.
At the same time we're greedy and selfish and constantly want more.
If we just stopped wanting more and would settle with having just enough, the world would be a much better place. One cannot do everything, but everyone can do something.

I think we are still evolving. With our continues over usage of brain, reading, typing and proper nutrition we will become taller, bigger would have bigger heads, wider eyes long hands and fingers in the future 10000 -30000 years from now. But some other groups may may evolve differently.

That sounds correct

Everyone here thinks too much like a 'human'  in 30000 years or more there is no more "human" - we are laughted at like neanderthals.  Consider the following:

in 30,000 years, heck in 5000 years, we would be considered cavemen by our offspring because of things like:  Pride, Jealousy, and Hatred.  Those things are what cause WAR right now still to this day in 2014.  There is no side-stepping this facet.  Eventually, rationalization will either come to a logistical 'cold/calculated' utilitarianistic 'I kill for the sake of us all'  'I die for the sake of us all' or we will evolve to Euphemize it.  Events will become more efficient - think no more lines for food, no more lines for banks.  No more jail time/justice system - only execution or stasis.  Perhaps we will be able to involve a type of cryostasis where your real jail time is simply an hour - but the perceived jail time is Years/Decades/Centuries (a prison trap in your mind).  Space is only colonized for the economic gain from the available raw materials.  Those raw materials could include exterior habitable planetary moons or stations - but these new 'habitats' will only be accessible by the wealthiest whom control the lions share of our resources.

WE WILL NOT GROW WINGS NOR LONGER WIDER HANDS NOR TALLER.  Those evolutionary adaptations only occur when they are NECESSARY ADAPTIONS REQUIRED FOR CONTINUED SURVIVAL - if keyboards grew from trees and we only used those grown from trees, then maybe those who had longer fingers may benefit?  But otherwise what happens is - humans adapt their surroundings and resources to better fit our constraints (that is, we adapt things to better fit our desires)  Thus, we would rather create ergonomic cars, keyboards, drinking containers to appeal to the masses before we develop the need to evolve over a long timescale.    Humans NEVER grew wings because there was never an evolutionary advantage into doing so.  If over the course of 10s of millions of years, we found that a small thin fold of skin helped us glide to food/safety more often than not, then we would have slowly grown longer and thinner flaps of skin until they became the wings necessary to fly.  We lost hair over the course of evolution because it was no longer as necessary once we started killing other wild beasts and using their hides for warmth and protection - thus we evolved to lose it.  Humans will likely retain their height and averageness - We don't get collectively smarter unless something drastic happens and kills off the majority of average citizens.  Smart folks are few and far between - a vast majority of 'smart' people today are simply parrots - taking what they read from textbooks and the internet and repeating it to your face ad nauseum.  Smart folks will actually take knowledge and create new things from this gained knowledge.  Smart folks will look at the status quo for any given particular process and will place it upon themselves to refine or improve the status quo process.

No it isn't, but I still prefer being human, not a machine. And why would you want to become resistant to damage anyway? In any case we're many years away from that. Stem cell research and development will be finished for public use long before then.

That's because our brains has not evolved in the same speed as our technological progress. That means we still think "Big boom. I kill enemy. I solve problem", instead of "If I detonate a nuclear bomb there will be many future problems that could affect humanity in a bad way". But fear not, in a few thousand years we'll have the ability to make decisions that's good for our long-term survival. That is, if we survive that long, of course!
