Transhumanism
caters to the needs and produce new, higher order. Requirements to create a
human target to meet that, it grows as a person. No wonder the aphorism
"According to their deeds, judge them" acquired fairly widespread.
After all, according to the result of satisfaction of a need, we judge the
person. Or, we can judge him according to the fruit of the road towards a
certain goal. But why do we choose one or the other goal? Why someone is trying
to come home, to fall on the couch and did not wake up until the morning, and
someone who works from dawn until late at night? At the same time, both men may
experience the same level of pleasure.
The
core personality is what determines us. Definition of the concept, philosophy,
idea. Something that provokes us to achieve something. And each completely
different outlook, values and guidelines. Someone creates them himself. More
specifically, it is not generates. We can not create something "radically
new". We use the experience, some knowledge, images ... All thoroughly
mixed, and integrates the output we get a product. The product can be useful,
and can be completely unfit for life. But the essence remains the same. Nothing
new, we do not come up. We choose from the fact that we offer. We can
automatically absorb all that with which to face life. We can readability
obtained knowledge - critique of. And based on this - to create a unique
concept, philosophy, concept ... And in this case, when disassembling the
concepts forming its own system of values and objectives, we reaffirm its
status as a person. But it is difficult.
Otherwise
we give environment. We confess his views, accept delegated values, do the same
thing as the people around. And then the system of values is truncated to the
survival needs. We begin to take loans, look for low-paid profession, but with
stable profit, to acquire the attributes of a successful person, but remain
within only a consumer. Moreover, a number of our needs does not make sense,
because we do not use products fully to satisfy the senses.
What
can man do now? Select. We always choose. To live peacefully and happily, like
many millions of people. Repeat the same action that is fully justified by the
evolution. To meet the needs of primitive and not threaten to something more.
This is an excellent choice because it gives happiness, peace of mind and
confidence. And this is a lot.
Or
we can go further. It will be painful, difficult and unpleasant. We'll have a
lot of work, little rest, to change the social circle and to abandon his former
life. And while we have much to lose. But we get a chance, a very small chance
that understand the basic mechanisms of reality. Understand the true values
that drive people, the overall structure of the universe, we find answers to
questions that no one knew us. Become the owner of something like that, which
is not from other people.
What
we will in the first instance - the ordinary man that promotes evolution. In
the second - someone who can change the world, self-defining certain
fundamental principles of humanity.
Do
not forget about the demand, social good and human capabilities. It is not
necessary to divide the options on the "good" and "bad". It
is worth wondering, "Can I call myself a person" doing one or the
other job. And the answer may be - quite unexpected.
