When people think of Transhumanism, they might think of something like this image, but I think a more accurate image of a Transhuman is something like Robin Hanson's Ems.pic.twitter.com/RiiyNlN9RX
Ems are well-adapted to technological earth. They live under Malthusian conditions - any scrap of extra energy they have is used to make more copies of themselves. And they're really, properly weird, with many ems living for only a few hours or having a 2mm tall body like an ant.pic.twitter.com/QZHSxcWvBu
So if Transhumanism is like Augmenting humans to live on Mars, then what's the equivalent of Terraforming? That's the concept I'm trying to get at. Terraforming the future. The term Archeofuturism is a good one, but it's already attached to a particular vision (that I dislike)
Tradhumanism is a little too jokey for this, and a reintroduction of certain traditions is only one possible way to "terraform the future". Does anyone have any suggestions?
Maybe we just need to reclaim the word Archeofuturism as being broader than Faye's vision?
What else could you do to the future to make it better for people?
My own personal project has been to change my food environment away from obesogenic supermarket food into a simple bulk meal prep of chicken and vegetables. It works really well, and I didn't augment myself - I just changed my environment.pic.twitter.com/NrlABxf5uh
The thread is too big think for me to have a quick response but as far as nutrition goes bulk chicken is probably not what you're after as an idea diet - too many omega-6 fatty acids which signal fall and weight gain season to your body. Bulk prep of grass-fed meat much better.
The mix of fats may not be ideal, but the scale and the mirror and the belt are telling a very simple story: it's working. I think the thing that has a big effect is removing food choices and hyperpalatable food.
My trousers are falling off and I'm having to tighten my belt. It's extremely effective.
Excellent, then keep it up. Congratulations on finding something that works that you can sustain.
Thanks! I suspect that you are correct about the mix of fats etc, but I suspect that that's a -1% effect on fat gain whereas eliminating hyperpalatable food and food choices is -50% change.
You have no idea how bad my diet was before. Like, a pizza with half or more of a 500 gram jar of nutella for dessert. "You're eating the wrong omega-ness of fats!" is not the low-hanging fruit here.
