What we have to fear about the future is getting there in the first place. Once we are in the future---and by future, I mean for humans to have achieved immortality, becoming machine-beings, and the earth evolving into a garden world, what will become precious is not how far some will go in making themselves into all of these things that are fantasy for us today, no; what will happen is what we are talking about now: bringing back the mammoth. The biological wonder that we call a human being today will get transformed six ways from Sunday, but what the doctors of change will realize is that perfection was leaving a human being alone. Our race will survive because no matter how we upgrade a human being, there is something about us that will trump any mechanical, chemical, surgical enhancement. To recap: in the future there will be islands where the new human-machines live of course, and they will prosper and evolve into silicon beings, but the mainland will be full of farmers and dreamers and people like Lex Fridman and Yuval Noah Harari as well as the guy emptying the rubbish bin working with a robo-man.
