Limits of Transhumanism/Materialism

AI is best suited for tasks that does not require context. To make a convincing AI, huge amounts of resources and effort need to be invested.

When will the AI singularity come? If you ask Robert Marks, it may never happen at all.

More and more researches are becoming irreproducible. Does science need to change?

The current image of science does not reflect the collaborative effort that goes to every research. Why are scientific awards given only to an one person, when there is a whole team working on the same research?

Why are we here? Transhumanist answers: because in any other universe, we simply wouldn’t be around to wonder why we didn’t exist.

Astrophysicist Martin Rees says that a reductionist explanation isn’t always the best, or the most useful one.

Philosophy is still relevant in this highly scientific period. In fact, it could be the very field that will propel us towards an appreciation of the future.

Science is showing, neuronal activity does not create consciousness. How then can neural networks save materialist science from obsolescence?

Research shows that consciousness cannot simply be attributed to the brain’s neuronal activity.

Scientists must only try to answer questions which are within the bounds of science, not questions of origin or metaphysics.
