[extropy-chat] A brief transhuman life, anyone?

[Eliezer Yudkowsky]

I think that in the end I would choose the ten years of transhuman life, 
for that I cannot imagine I would choose forty years at average 
intelligence over twenty years continued as myself.

Some have replied:  "Oh, you can't present me with that dilemma, there 
*must* be an option C".  I think they don't realize how cruel the real 
universe can be.  Tell it to humanity's dead.  The question is fair.
