“Neosapiens”-Who are we and are we too radical for you?
May 24th, 2008 by NeoNeosapiens translates to "New Humans". We are part of a new movement, the "Transhumanist Movement". Transhumanism is partially derived from humanism. Humanists believe that humans matter, and that individuals matter. We might not be perfect, but we can make things better and promote rational thinking, freedom, tolerance and democracy. Transhumanists agree with this but also emphasize what we have the potential to become. Not only can we use rational means to improve the human condition and the external world but we can also use them to improve ourselves, the human organism. We are not limited only to methods, such as education but can use technological and scientific means that will eventually enable us to move beyond what most would describe as human. We believe that through the accelerating pace of technological development and scientific understanding that we are entering a whole new stage in the history of the human species.
