Aren't transhumanists committing the Jurassic Park fallacy?
Given that even the smallest disruption or perturbation in a complex system can be amplified, and given that there are still so many important aspects of the mind-body interaction in human medicine, it seems like moving forward with the technological enhancement of human beings—ranging from putting computers inside us to putting us inside computers—is to court the same kind of disasters we always get when we tinker with things we don't yet understand.
Apr 23 2011: Complex systems abound. We make changes every day and many of the consequences are unforeseeable. Never the less, most systems rock on... e.g. we alter our body chemistry when we eat and it usually turns out OK.
Complex systems have emergent properties that often act to help the system adapt to and exploit changes. Its true that you can throw a system out of equilibrium and/or cause a phase change sometimes, but fortunately for us all, that doesn't occur as often. More typically, changes help the system grow and evolve.
It is inherently impossible to know all the ways any complex system will change as a result of some alteration. Paradoxically, the lack of change also has consequences. Not making a change could turn out to be a kind of sin of omission.
In theory, we could "leave well enough alone" but, realistically, that just isn't going to happen. Short of global catastrophe, technological innovation will continue apace. In fact, it will continue to accelerate. Failing to adapt socially to this reality posses one of the greatest dangers. We need innovation to cope with the changes we've already made.
Fear of the unknown is natural ( at least for the time being ), but it is not inherently wise. Caution isn't always advisable. Sometimes, what appear to be risky behaviors are in fact the very things that lead to growth, happiness, and prosperity.
We must continue to do what we've always done... make educated guesses and try to take some precautions that mitigate anticipated negative outcomes. However, that must occur in parallel with the process of experimentation and discovery. It can not all be done in advance, since we simply can't anticipate every threat.
Apr 23 2011: So on your reading, it sounds as if there are no lines too dangerous to be crossed, and never a point that is too soon to cross it. My argument is primarily about the latter, with a weighting of variables based on the first.
Yes, sometimes what appear to be risky behaviors turn out well, the point is that sometimes they turn out to be absurdly destructive.

May 8 2011: However, if we allow ourselves complacency in matters of progress, soon we would be significantly outmatched by those who at the moment have very little to loose and willing to perform high gain research. If you don't follow progress, you will be left behind.Apr 22 2011: I think this worry could be applied to any scientific or technological progress of any kind - and given the amazing success of SCIENCE and TECH as they get more and more complicated, your worries are completely unfounded.
Computers, more complicated over time? Yes. But we learn how to work with them and create and fix them at the same pace, so they have become a crucial part of your life every day and have taken many tasks away that people like you probably fretted about to begin with.
here are some amazingly important tasks done by technology that has gotten "more and more complicated" over time,off the top of my head:
Commercial Jet Autopilot
Power Plant Management systems
Guided missiles
Computer Security
Is your concern that introducing the biological aspect will create this "less than 100%" control? By the time they figure out HOW this technology works and how to implement it (it won't be that soon) they will be a lot closer to 100% by necessity - in other words for the Singularity to work we will certainly have to be much closer to 100% knowledge of both the biological and technical aspect.
As they get closer to mapping the brain, the proteome etc I think the first opportunities for transhumanism will show themselves as the simplest places that we understand the most and we will work from there.
Apr 22 2011: Besides "guided missiles" which Einstein forewarned would be the result of science in war and that is not what science (even computer science) should be meant for... everything else is nicely put!
Your last sentence is extremely clever.
Apr 22 2011: Yes, like guided missiles, some genies can never be put back in the bottle. How do you propose we stop governments from using your superhero technology (mentioned below) to build killing machines on a scale the likes of which have never been seen? Will our idealism about what science is 'supposed' to be used for save us?
Apr 22 2011: One phrase, true open-ended education.May 8 2011: And previous approach of area bombing (with enormous civilian casualties if used in populated areas, just to remind you) is somehow better?Apr 22 2011: Interesting line of thought, but none of your examples reflect the manipulation of existing, permutable, adaptable organic systems. The organic systems aspect is exactly my point, and the rampant debacle of gmo's is, in contrast, a relevant sample case. Once we start attempting things like elective genetic selection/tinkering and efforts at cybernetic or nanotechnological enhancements, we are talking about a whole different scale.
Be clear, though, I'm not arguing in essence about whether we should eventually consider implementing some of those adaptations or enhancements. I am arguing that we are nowhere near that point yet.
The current contamination of the region around the nuclear power plant in Japan is another interesting case in point. We can 'think' we have adequate safety nets in place all we want. Sure, humongous earthquakes and tsunamis are rare, and lots of nuclear plants are online and NOT causing disasters. The point holds that in a sufficiently complex system, we can never account for all the factors, and if we get it wrong in an organic system, we could all be screwed. At least the nuclear plant is still a mechanical system.
Shall we talk about how badly the "successful" world of science and technological infrastructure will become if something that even "acts" like an organic system - in this example the Stuxnet virus - gets loose and starts to spread, mutate, and cross-pollinate with other computer code?

Apr 26 2011: During Harvey's talk my eyes grew larger.. F.ex. I am pro stamcell research for regrowing organs and what not, but to alter DNA to improve (= so not the right word) the human body is, simply put: ignorant.
- +1
I feel that the people with the quality to create such a change in biology, cannot fully comprehend the means of human growth.
I think that we are near an era, in which technology is profitable for us to regain our view towards life, and therefrom our position in it.
I believe, that what we are lacking in the now/future, is already in our (idle) capacity. We should not forge/force - growth that we are not willing to undertake - via unnatural ways.
PS: Good one on the "Jurassic Park fallacy"May 11 2011: My comment may sound a bit provocative:
I wonder how long do we, human animals, still desperately seek a scientific/technological solution to the fundamental global challenge: we are way too many, we consume way too much and we are way to ignorant - in order to sustain a future for all species on this planet.
This said, I truly doubt that living longer and healthier will show us a way out of the apocalyptic equation.May 8 2011: I think the original point is whether technology will outrun our wisdom, and what would happen then. Scientists are too blinded by how to create generations of transhumanists, but failed to see how that society, full of gaps - including the modern 'genetic gap' - would function. Who's in charge? The problem is first, the brave new world undermines society's sense of-value, when talents, intelligence and creativity are not acquired by self-training, but the mass are not Delta and we're not conditioned to accept that disparity, which threatens social structure. Back to Richardson's point, this scary future will not happen if we don't go that fast in creating cyborgs but upgrade the general standards of human beings first. Second, while accelerating evolution, we are building a society without history, without the trials-and-errs of its own, whose collapse would be disastrous. By compressing the course of evolution into a handful of years, I doubt, we are jumping out of the current equipoise.
May 8 2011: I would like to point to an interesting historical case pointed out in a TED talk by Hans Rosling:
Time saving equipment allows us to improve ourselves in other ways. It is highly unlikely that everybody would end up with equal abilities, mainly because people have different aspirations and would focus on different things.May 3 2011: I think transhumanists are mislead people. It is a kind of religion because one places his or her faith into a potential future which is not actualized through fact. It denies the facticity of our current existence and replaces it with fabricated ambitions.
If such a future indeed comes to pass that would be great, maybe technology can solve all our problems. But maybe we need to work on actualizing such a future now as oppossed to placing our faith in it!!
May 3 2011: Budimir,
although they are mislead you find it great if those ideals were taking place?
Calling transhumanism a religion is like calling humanitarianism a religion. They are systems in which you can put faith but in no way are they misguided. Our current existence is what transhumanism wants to improve through technology and understanding. How can we get to point B from A without understanding B first?
The actual work to get us to point B is vast, one must consider what is preventing such before performing. Perhaps if these methods were more publicized they would gain more support and interest. Faith is not a bad thing, it keeps you on a course. The faith is only bad if the source in which faith is coming from is poor.
Putting transhumanism on any plateau with an Abrahamic Religion is ridiculous to do.
Eastern religions accept science to only benefit their faith systems, so there faith systems inspire science. these are not counter points nor opponents. They have nothing to do with one another. Except faith can drive great things if focused properly, when it isn't focused properly comes fundamentalism not acceptance of change.
I think you need to read more into transhumanism because that is going to be one of the sources in which truly get us to point B in the world.
May 7 2011: Transhumanism hasn't come to pass, and no one knows whether it will ever come to pass. We may never be able to transcend our physical bodies.
And yes I wouldn't mind those ideals coming to pass, as long this technology for enhancing humans is accesible to all people.
I would also find the ideal of heaven great if it were true. A place of eternal happiness awaiting all of us after death.
May 8 2011: All tranhumanism is not about transcending out body, it is about using technology to enhance ourselves to immorality.
The idea to upload ourselves on the internet is just a theory, but imagine being able to load yourself into new bodies.
Heaven on earth comes when everyone needs are met and can live to express oneself, thinking in that direction gets us there eventually.May 10 2011: Well human immortality is also just a theory. Currently we need to deal with cancer, over population and other issues.
May 10 2011: Only issues because of no greater consensuses but individual nations.May 8 2011: How can you have a fabricated ambition? Ambition is by definition something you want to get done in the future. Besides, our current facilities are acknowledged, but are not considered end state. Is self-improvement wrong because you're not perfect at the moment?
None of us are perfect, but if we become better, is that not an improvement? And didn't this discussion start by assuming improvements are wrong because we have an imperfect understanding of potential risks and benefits involved? That sounds like an implicit perfect solution fallacy.
May 10 2011: Yes the future is a fabricated idea. It is not something that which is factual. Self improvement is not right or wrong, I don't wanna make any moral judgements on this topic. I'm just saying that ideas about our future can be authenric or misleading.
If we currently think and behave like humans it's not authentic to posit that one day we will somehow surpass our own body and minds. Nicholas talked about immortality, how would immortals survive in a world with limited resources? This is our facticity that limits our capacity to make certain futures plausible.May 3 2011: Wondering whether Hippocrates was considered as what you call Tanshumanists of his time.
To my feeling Eric , there was always a big difference between the speed of "scientific innovation" vs "moral , ethical" evolutionary development of society , so we are always in a dilemma with these two.
Scientific innovation many times brough Revolutionary Change while
"Moral & Ethical" standards always went through a slow paced Evolutionary acceptance kid of state of those revolutionary change that innovation bought.
Similar model will be true I guess if not in far but in near futureMay 3 2011: Most of what Ray Kurzweil says gives me pause, we must develop strong A.I. to govern nano-tech, cross our fingers and hold on tight.Apr 22 2011: Jurassic Park fallacy? Yes along with Sky I am confused on that one.
However humanitarian + technology = transhumanism. Let's put it that way.
The ultimate literature surrounding transhumanism, is indeed the idea of immorality. through science and technology we can understand the means of living forever. Now living inside computers is complex but it is not the main focus of the ideology at all merely a suggestive philosophy. However I found the philosophy around understanding the cell and continuing the means to manipulate it (not just copy) to benefit humanity is great and I cannot see too many negatives with that!
Let's put it this way, instead of putting a robotics arm as a replacement we grow you a new arm and give you robotic eyes that allow night vision. That is more transhumanism than cyber space theories. Transhumanist want to only give benefits to the world through intelligence.
Indeed there are trial and errors in everything that involves discovery! Also if we could really bring back dinosaurs, which I think we would if we could, I do not think it would be purely in the hands of some rich tycoon alone, I am sure governments would be involved.
I like this thread because 1. it is dictating how much science fiction is more and more a reality each day and 2. will give those who consider themselves humanitarians and technology supporters a new bunch of philosophies to consider!
good job Erik.
Apr 22 2011: Thanks, Nicholas.
You're right about there always being dangers, I guess my concern is that our tendency as a science-enabled species is to get ahead of ourselves and roll out new life/world altering tech before we have the safety nets in place. Our repeated failures to predict and contain genetically modified plant species should serve as (but hasn't been) a good example of a recent instance.
Apr 22 2011: Agreed,
Some of the biggest disasters in history are some of the most valued lessons we learn or should learn.
I find it fascinating that with all our advances the most basic of building structures is still an open subject manner. Imagine the potential of manipulating a cell to being whatever we wanted? People would be the super heroes that art depicts throughout time.
Apr 22 2011: Just because we've gotten lucky so far doesn't mean we have a rational system in place.Apr 22 2011: Absolutely Erik

Apr 22 2011: What exactly is transhumanists and Jurassic park fallacy? These are terms unfamiliar to me, but I get a vague idea when I read your paragraph. Interested! Thanks.
- 0
Apr 22 2011: The Jurassic Park fallacy would paraphrase to something like:
In any system complex enough to be capable of permutation, variation, and recombination, predictability and containment are both less than 100%, and their distance from 100% is approximated by multiplying our ignorance factor of each element.
The Ignorance Factor would be (100% - how completely we understand an item/entity/mechanism/operation). If we only understand about 40% of how neuroplasticity allows the brain to re-wire for adaptations, and we only understand implant rejection to about 85%, then the effects on the system of a computerized brain implant would be a function of multiplying those (and a number of others).
My point is that we are a long way from 100% understanding on an awful lot of elements of the human system, so starting to plug in technological enhancements brings an inordinate risk value that only hubris would think we could predict or contain.Apr 27 2011: I was thought the Jurassic Park fallacy was using 'the Jurassic Park fallacy'


text:
I have always used both "root" as in route 66 and "rooter" as in the networking device. The latter has gotten me funny looks often, however I could not bring myself to accept the inconsistency. Today I heard "rowt" used for a path of movement by a radio presenter. Which is correct?
In my local dialect (Toronto, Canada), it is root for a roadway, and rowt (but that's very approximate; see Canadian raising ) for the act of specifying a path (and rowter for the computer networking device)
In the UK, route is pronounced /ru:t/, rhyming with root. On the other hand, the pronunciation /raʊt/, rhyming with shout, is rout, meaning, among many other things, various kinds of gatherings of people (as a noun) and defeat (as a verb).
In my idiolect, a roadway is a "root," the communications device is a "rowter," and one "rowts" cables and things to where they need to go.
Seems like the pronunciation indicates whether you mean noun or verb.
It's a question of dialects. In the UK, it is pronounced as a homonym to root, as already been addressed. In America, it seems that those that pronounce it as a homonym to root are more concentrated on the east coast.
Here in Virginia, route can be pronounced root or rowt, but a rowter is for computers, whereas rooter would refer only to your pig.
If you talking about a plant's roots or the roots of your hair and so on, it should be the only time the "root" pronunciation is root is used.
That's because if you say "root" for route, it just confuses things and doesn't make any sense to me. A router is a router, said as it's spelled.

I think that your version of Qatapult.exe is old, it probably didn't copied correctly or something like that. The new version has an hi-resolution icon when you focus it.
I will try again, but I tend to install from scratch before testing.

HG2 A hedonist's guide to... The UK's best-selling luxury city guide.
Madrid Map
Everywhere we love in Madrid
Explore the city by district:
Chueca and Malasana
The Old City / La Latina
It would be hard to find a city that lends itself more readily to the pursuit of hedonism than Madrid. Known as the party capital of Europe, it has a level of vibrancy and energy unparalleled in other cities, and this is largely because of the character of its people.
Visitors will be left wondering when these crazy Madrilenos find time to sleep, or go to work. Indeed, no matter what night of the week, you'll find bars and restaurants bursting with people well into the early hours.
The Madrilenos love to get dressed up, meet with friends, talk, drink, eat and talk some more – at full volume – and such inconsequential things as work and sleep seem to take second place. Even on the rare dull and drizzly days, the locals are still out and about enjoying themselves and making the most of what their city has to offer.
Madrid is the highest, sunniest and greenest capital in Europe and, according to its natives, is the closest place you'll get to heaven – 'Desde Madrid al Cielo' goes the saying.
It does, of course, have the same problems with traffic and overcrowding as any other major European city, but one of its major selling-points is its small size. Madrid is so compact that even in an afternoon you can cover considerable ground. What's more, the street layout is straightforward and most of the major attractions are within easy reach.
If time allows, however, it's definitely worth exploring the districts that lie beyond the city centre, such as Salamanca, La Latina and Malasana, each with its own distinctive character. In this guide, we've divided the city into four areas: Centro, Chueca and Malasana, The Old City/La Latina and Salamanca, and in a weekend you should be able to experience them all.
As a tourist destination Madrid is underrated and is often overlooked for its coastal rival, Barcelona. It is, however, home to three stunning and important museums and has several beautiful parks to make up for its lack of beaches.
It also offers a far more authentic Spanish experience than Barcelona. Not so much English is spoken (you'll have to brush up on your Spanish vocab or invest in a phrase book), and Spanish traditions, such as long, leisurely lunches and late dinners, are still very much part of everyday life.
Luckily, this means you won't have to rush around in the heat of the day in order to see as much of the city as possible. Temperatures soar into the 30s in the summer and many visitors will find it uncomfortable and exhausting to be out in the midday sun. At the height of the summer temperatures can creep into the 40s and, understandably, many Madrilenos pack up and leave for the latter half of July and throughout August.
At this time, you'll get some great bargains on hotel rooms and the streets will be less crowded, but many of the better restaurants and bars will be closed. With the heat, it's best to take things at an easy pace and to make the most of the fabulous restaurants and cafés that are open. Don't grab snacks on the move. Do as the Madrilenos do and take your time.
This culture of long lunches and lazy, coffee-sipping afternoons means you won't tire yourself out before heading off again for the long night ahead. Once the clock strikes midnight, Europe's ultimate pleasure playground really comes into its own and will keep even the most hardcore party animal entertained until the sun comes up.
