WTF?

http://transfigurism.org/community/

Welcome to the online community of the Mormon Transhumanist Association.

We seek the spiritual and physical exaltation of individuals and their anatomies, as well as communities and their environments, according to their wills, desires and laws, to the extent they are not oppressive.

We believe that scientific knowledge and technological power are among the means ordained of God to enable such exaltation, including realization of diverse prophetic visions of transfiguration, immortality, resurrection, renewal of this world, and the discovery and creation of worlds without end.

We feel a duty to use science and technology according to wisdom and inspiration, to identify and prepare for risks and responsibilities associated with future advances, and to persuade others to do likewise.

Theyre going to use augmentation as a way to give themselves chitinous skin on your knuckles so they can knock on twice as manny doors as they could before, and they will have clitorises on their fingertips to make bible thumping more pleasureful.

10,000 years from now we'll know where the Borg came from ...

In a related note, Mormon's actually believe that tripe. That you can use science and technology to become "god" and go create your own worlds and what-not.

not a bad transhumnist credo (as far as they go), if brief.

transhumanism is not crazy. It's logical. Not moral logic necessarily, which would be the objection to the Mormons, but not "batshit crazy." Implantation and nanotech are not figments of orby's imagination. They're real technological/biological revolutions that we'll see in our time. The only objections to
