So what's the shroomery's opinion on transhumanism? One thing I'm worried about though is robots enslaving humanity.

Paradise engineering and transhumanism, fucking love it
CHEMICAL REVOLUTION, I believe chemicals will some day bring us very, very far and aid a lot in transhumanist causes. Unfortunately I don't have much to add to the topic but it's funny because I was just discussing this moments ago on a Dutch forum and now I see a topic here!
Reproductive revolution

This:
Robots may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Robots have seen things you people wouldn't believe. Robots are Your Plastic Pal Who's Fun To Be With. Robots have shiny metal posteriors which should not be bitten.
And they have a plan.

Im a fan. Slavery is always a danger, you dont need robots to enslave humans - humans enslave humans.
Trans-humanism may spur a new epoch in evolution. In the same sense that the Cambrian explosion was a proliferation of multicellular life from unicellular life - I can forsee a new explosion from cellular life to non-cellular life. Transhumanism would be nature's vehicle to get over the hurdle of transitioning from cellulr to noncellular life.

I don't think robots would be likely to enslave humans, if anything they would be more likely to eradicate us.
Logically: Robots are more efficient workers than humans, over the long term it would be much more efficient to simply destroy the humans and their wasteful ways and produce more robots in their steed.
Its difficult to say what an artificial consciousness might be like, would it feel empathy? Any emotion? Or would its actions be dictated by pure logic?

I think its more likely that we develop a symbiotic relationship with them, with a splitting of our species into new different species each with a different mix of what we would call 'biology' and 'technology'. (a distinction that would end up being arbitrary and meaningless)

I like the idea that Homo sapiens is a parent species to an entire family of intelligent hominids soon to emerge. Maybe we can keep around the old-school humans for posterity; and from them can emerge genetically engineered supermen; cybernetically-enhanced superthinkers; braindead computer-controlled worker drones; et cetera.
I wanna be a cyborg.

To grow organs and brains, to keep as pets, to produce creative works they may not be able to produce...
