“Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it.”
- Salvador Dali
Some proponents of Transhumanism technology say
that this will create perfect humans and a perfect society. Speaking truthfully, that is malarkey because
any individual human and everything in human society can be improved upon. Thus, in a number of ways that exist right now,
or could exist in the future, you can make things more perfect, but never
completely perfect. After all, the preamble
of the Constitution of the United States of America describes forming a more
perfect Union, not a perfect Union. I
know that as Transhumanism technology and social adjustments to human society continue
to occur, all the problems of humanity will not disappear.
While some existing problems for individuals and
for society will get better or disappear altogether; other existing problems
will get worse, while new problems will arise.
For example, my Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal ancestors never had to deal
with software breaking on their home personal computers, a power outage in
their apartment shutting down their computer for hours, and their iPhone low
battery life that keeps them vigilant to keep their phone on the phone charger
at least once each day.
“Progress is impossible without change, and those
who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”
- George Bernard Shaw
Note: I’d
love to ride in a time machine to go back in time to teach the first three
generations of modern humans. I’d be
assisting them in developing agriculture, starting the Iron Age, while stopping the scourge of human slavery
before it even starts. That would be
similar to the Japanese animated series Dr. Stone. I would start a Kingdom of Science that is
also the Kingdom of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. This Kingdom would be based upon the United
Nations 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
