Can We Live Forever? The Promise of Transhumanism
Human beings typically live for about 72.98 years. However, one group likes to increase that number, by infinity. Meet the Transhumanists.
Every era in history has its set of niche “weirdos”. From the esoteric alchemists of the medieval period to the Russian cosmists of the 20th century, these figures have always pushed the boundaries of accepted thought. Today, that mantle is carried by the transhumanists. Only now, they come with billion-dollar bank accounts.
Transhumanism is a philosophical movement centered on the belief that human physical and cognitive limitations can, and should, be overcome through advanced technology. Transhumanists argue that innovations in fields like biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and genetic engineering can dramatically enhance human longevity, intelligence, and overall capabilities, ultimately allowing us to transcend our biological constraints.
