Transhumanism

 

               Transhumnism

Transhumanists seek to improve their human capacities beyond what is assumed to be humanly possible. 

They do so by using top-of-the-line technologies, 

The  Technologies 

5. CRYONICS

Cryonics is a high-fidelity preservation of the human body after death. The primary reason why anyone would enter a cryogenic sleep is to anticipate a potential future revival. 

Alcor Life Extension Foundation, a non-profit company in Arizona, US is leading Cryonics company. Robert Ettinger - Proposed Cryonics in 1962.

4. GENE THERAPY

 Gene therapy effectively replaces bad genes with good ones, which allows us to manipulate our genetic code. Gene therapy holds promise for treating a wide range of diseases, such as cancer, cystic fibrosis, heart disease, diabetes, hemophilia and AIDS.

Anti-aging therapy is heavily influenced by gene therapy. As a result, humans may become subject to indefinite lifespans.

Most gene therapies are still in the clinical trial phase.

3. CYBERNETICS

A cybernetic implant could replace lost function for someone with disability, for example the bionic ear, limb, eye.

Cyber enhancements to the human body. designed in such a way they will be invisible to the casual observer, as they reside beneath the host’s skin. 

Most current bio modifications are all external, as to risk to human body & health.

2. SELF-REPLICATING ROBOTICS

Self-replicating robots, would be quite beneficial. 

For example, they can turn uninhabitable areas into living spaces, clean up waste generated by us humans, or even pave the way for human colonization of space.

Xenobots(self-replicating robots) are novel living machines” were “neither a traditional robot nor a known species of animal”, but “a new class of artifact: a living, programmable organism”.

Xenobots can be utilized to cure neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and cancer-related issues because of their selfrepairing properties, which allow them to repair normal damaged cells, and convey drugs to their specific target.

1. MIND UPLOADING

As creepy as this concept may sound at first, mind uploading / mind copying  – can be quite valuable to our society.

But Practically our brains each have trillions of connections between 86 billion or so neurons. To replicate the mind digitally we would have to map each of these connections, something that is far beyond our current capabilities.

Synthetic brains are not impossible to achieve by any means, although a lot of research is required before this can become a reality.

Methanol a promising alternative to fossil fuels.  In the area of- Transportation Methanol can be used in road, rail, and marine transportation. It can be more affordable and reliable than electric vehicles (EVs) in some situations, like long-haul transportation.  Methanol engines can be as efficient as diesel engines without the diesel emissions. Energy Methanol can be used in boilers, process heating modules, tractors, and commercial vehicles.  Cooking Methanol can be used as a cooking fuel in stoves and canisters that don't require pipes or regulators.    Benefits Environmental impact Methanol can reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 80% and carbon dioxide emissions by up to 95% compared to fossil fuels.  Accidental spills not harmful for environment as methonol is biodegradable,  ' Production Methanol can be produced from a variety of sources,  agricultural products,  municipal waste,  wood, and biomass.  from chemical recyc...

Genie Wiley - The Forbidden Experiment

Genie Wiley - The Forbidden Experiment   Who was Genie Wiley? The case name is Genie. This is not the person's real name, but when we think about what a genie is, a genie is a creature that comes out of a bottle or whatever but emerges into human society past childhood. We assume that it really isn't a creature that had a human childhood.  SUSAN CURTISS, PHD A linguist and researcher who worked with Genie. Early Life (1957-1970) Genie's life prior to her discovery was one of utter deprivation. She spent most of her days tied naked to a potty chair, only able to move her hands and feet. When she made noise, her father would beat her. The rare times her father did interact with her, it was to bark or growl. Genie Wiley's brother, who was five years older than Genie, also suffered abuse under their father. Discovery and Study (1970-1975) Genie's story came to light on November 4, 1970, in Los Angeles, California. Both parents were charged with abuse, but Genie's fa...

Popular Image Processing softwares

Image
Medical Image Processing softwares Medical imaging is one of the fastest growing areas in healthcare. Over the past few decades, it has evolved to include multiple imaging modalities including CT scans, MRIs, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine, to name a few. Along with advancements in the hardware and devices used to generate medical images, huge progress has been made with the different types of software that handle these images. Acquiring, storing, retrieving and sharing medical images can only be done in the DICOM format. The market is flooded with different kinds of medical imaging software for viewing DICOM images. Medical Image Processing software can be classified as- 1)Medical Image Analysis Software Any software that can ‘analyze’ data that is obtained from medical images,in the effort to create software capable of independently detecting clinical anomalies in medical images. Medical image analysis software uses deep learning algorithms to read and evaluate images.It can be tra...
