    Frequently Asked Questions

    Der Transhumanismus ist eine Bewegung, die den Menschen über seine aktuellen biologischen Grenzen hinausheben möchte. Wie Miles im Gespräch erklärt, werden Menschen dabei oft als Mängelwesen betrachtet, die durch Technik verbessert werden müssen. Ziel ist es, Einschränkungen wie das Altern oder Krankheiten zu überwinden, indem wir uns durch Upgrades und technologische Erweiterungen zum sogenannten Mensch 2.0 weiterentwickeln.

    Ray Kurzweil leitet bei Google die technische Entwicklung und ist bekannt für seine präzisen Vorhersagen zur technologischen Zukunft. Er gilt als zentraler Vordenker, der die sogenannte Singularität für das Jahr 2045 prognostiziert. Laut Miles und Jackson beschreibt Kurzweil diesen Punkt als Moment, in dem die Technik so rasant fortschreitet, dass biologische Wesen ohne Upgrades nicht mehr mithalten können.

    Die Singularität markiert einen Zeitpunkt, den Ray Kurzweil für 2045 voraussagt, an dem die technologische Entwicklung die menschliche Biologie überholt. Jackson und Miles diskutieren darüber, ob wir dann zu Cyborgs werden oder unser Bewusstsein als Backup in die Cloud hochladen. Es geht um die fundamentale Frage, ob wir die letzte Generation rein biologischer Menschen sind, bevor die technische Evolution übernimmt.
