Kheriaty: “If you take transhumanism far enough, you get to the point where essentially there is no such thing as a human nature or a healthy, well-working human body that would be normative. The idea is that we’re just raw biological material. We’re a blank slate that you can refashion or remake with whatever technologies we’re capable of developing. And there’s this implicit idea in traditional Hippocratic medicine that there is a natural norm of health that the body tends toward when it’s working well. … that’s what medicine needs to aim toward. But for someone like Bostrom, what we have instead is raw biological material that can be hacked and upgraded and the hardware is potentially infinitely malleable.” (09/02/25)
