Question: How do you feel about the "enhanced" students described on pages 7 to 8 of chapter 1 of Radical Evolution?
I felt very unpleasant and even scared for the "enhanced" students because they are so un-human like to me. I believe that one of the characteristics of human nature is that we are imperfect in many ways. We have things that we are good at and not good at. We do not have total recall. We feel pain. We sometimes have difficulties telling people what we are thinking or how we are feeling and we sometimes misunderstand people. These imperfections make us more human-like and dealing with these difficulties is to live a life. Though these "Enhanced" are too perfect and I do not even feel like they are humans.
I agree that one of the characteristics of human nature is that we are imperfect. I think having some kind of lack makes people personal and attractive.
返信削除I agree with the idea that "imperfections make us more human-like." It made me think that we might have to reconsider whether being "enhanced" is a good thing.
返信削除I agree with you. I think human beings are beautiful because they're incomplete. We make efforts to get closer to perfection. That's one of the purposes of life. I think enhanced people are not beautiful because they are too perfect, and they don't have to make efforts.
返信削除It's kinda funny that we try "to get closer to perfection," but don't like those enhanced people who are "too perfect." Why is that!?
返信削除I think this really tells the value of self-improvement.
