Why We Need to Start Reporting on Transhumanism

in news •  7 years ago 

This is good material and it will be interesting to see how it develops. I would generally disagree that Transhumanism is not getting a great deal of media attention even if they do not use that term. Every time I look at the media I see it saturated with news about the latest developments in Self-Driving cars, new uses of stem cells, robotic eye enhancements, cryopreservation methods and more. The key here isn't talking about H+ issues but bringing them into a greater focus and linking the disparate elements. It is also necessary to discuss more of long term applications and values to push back against some of the less well thought out criticisms.

It would also be very helpful if we could get more solid transhumanism into our Science Fiction in a positive light. I wrote a piece about this on my blog here on steemit not too long ago. We are seeing more good SF coming out with shows like the Expanse but for all their advances they don't integrate very much of what we would normally refer to as Transhumanism. Even when aspects of what the characters suffer from in the series would be some of the best and most obvious applications thereof.

I'd be interested in working on getting more media out there looking at things beyond the party and more at what is going on in research fields and among the more grass roots levels of inventors and technophiles as well as people who just think this is a great idea.
