Carlos Moreira's conference at INGE. Within the framework of the 'Transhumanism' cycle
In the book “The TransHuman Code”, the authors Carlos Moreira and David Fergusson ask the question: “Are we building a better future for humanity with the help of technology or on the contrary a better future of tec Hnology at the expense of humanity? “. We must learn to put humanity first, instead of getting stuck in the promise of technological advancements. Humans have managed to adapt, transform, make compromises in every situation they faced for centuries, and master them. We need to approach the promises of technology with the same flexibility.
The authors suggest that we start drawing the transhuman future, from a human point of view, assuring that technology will produce evolution, then we can ensure that humanity continues to thrive. The “transHuman Code” tries to place humanity at the center of emerging tensions between a world controlled by humans or machine-controlled. Moreira examines how beings can maintain their specifics and humanity in this new world.
