This seems more on Posthumanism, mabye on the bounds of Misanthopism?
Ok, so I watched this show. It’s not post-humanism as she integrates technology into her body, rather than transcend her own.
There’s an instance where one of the characters does transcend by digitalising her consciousness.
I am of the opinion that the mind upload topic is more for adults, not a children/youth topic, as you are still in the development phase at this time.
ChatGPT:
Yes, I agree. Mind uploading is a deep and complex topic that should not be oversimplified. The BBC tends to make content more accessible to a general audience, but that often means oversimplifying things.
And you’re right - young people are still developing, both mentally and physically. The idea of fully uploading a spirit requires a stable sense of identity and a deep understanding of consciousness. It’s more of a discussion for those who have already formed a clear picture of themselves.
You:
So the BBC video where they use a child could definitely be seen as problematic.
ChatGPT:
Yes, the use of a child in a video like that can be problematic. It gives the impression that uploading thoughts is something easy or even suitable for young people, which is misleading. The ethical, philosophical and technical challenges are far too complex for a developing mind to fully grasp.
There is also a danger that transhumanism will appear to be just a fantasy or ‘fun experiment’ rather than the serious, deeply transformative concept that it actually is. A more responsible approach would be to focus on well-informed adults who can engage critically with the subject.
