“I am a strong believer in the free market. I am a strong believer in capitalism. But, I am also a strong believer that there are certain common goods - our air, our water, making sure that people are safe - that require to have some regulation.”
- Barack Obama
Similar to equal opportunity in education and equality
before the law, city, state, and national governments need to make sure that we
all have sensible regulations to make Transhumanism technology available to all
that want it or need it. The last thing
humanity needs is to continue contemporary slavery or create a new caste system
that’s based upon access to Transhumanism technology. When we create future regulations to govern
the development and distribution of Transhumanism technology, we must neither be
foolishly optimistic nor be fearful pessimistic.
As a professional writer, on days when I’m at my
best, I am able to write exceptionally well.
With Transhumanism technology improving my mind not just once, but
several times, I will be able to write exceptionally well each and every time I
write. This will be good for my writing
career as well as being good for all my readers.

I have a friend who has Asperger syndrome. They told me that if given the opportunity
that they would take a cure of their Asperger syndrome as soon as it becomes
available. Yet, some other people who
have Asperger syndrome are happy with the way they are now and would not take a
cure for Asperger syndrome. Do those mentally
disabled and/or socially disabled people who wish to remain the way they are
now have the legal rights to not take a cure for Asperger syndrome?
Just imagine a human society where all architects
are as talented as Frank Lloyd Wright and Marion Mahony Griffin. Just imagine a human society where all
artists are as talented as Leonardo da Vinci and Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun. Just imagine a human society where all
scientists are as talented as Isaac Newton and Ada Lovelace. Just imagine a human society where all
writers are as talented as Mark Twain and Virginia Woolf. Just imagine a human society where
exceptional creativity will be commonplace; while mediocrity in all things will
slowly disappear from human society.

make excuses.”

I can also imagine humans developing emotional
states that we can’t imagine
in the year 2020. We could have new ways
of thinking and new ways of feeling that will make our lives richer and more
fulfilling than ever before.
