I totally agree. I expect this list to become
'American-Politics-Chat' every time a presidential election looms,
but it seems to have become a consistent thing in recent times..<br>
<br>
If anybody's interested, I can offer my own particular Transhumanist
Hobbyhorse for discussion, which is the intersection of biology and
engineering, specifically the design of human bodies to be much more
fit for our needs. I'm envisaging a hybrid bio-synthetic body, and
considering the various challenges involved. Although it would be
just a stepping-stone on the way to better things for those that
want them, it would also be a possible end-point for some folks, and
a huge improvement on what we have now.<br>
<br>
If this piques anyone's curiosity, take a look at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://hpluspedia.org/wiki/Human_Body_2.0">https://hpluspedia.org/wiki/Human_Body_2.0</a>. This is where I'm
collecting my ideas together, and anyone with an interest and
sensible ideas to contribute is welcome to join in.<br>
