    Seeing the advances in AI and robotics right now, it seems increasingly believable that by the end of the century, we may be able to leave our human bodies and continue our existence in man-made devices and machinery, and these may not only allow us to continue our existence but also inhabit better "bodies" than our biological ones. Stronger, easier to maintain or alter, less fragile, etc...

    Pop culture makes this look scary, but I think this could have the potential to give us far better lives. I'm curious what others here think about the idea, though. What's the Epicurean view of transhumanism?

Finding Things At EpicureanFriends.com

What's the best strategy for finding things on EpicureanFriends.com? Here's a suggested search strategy:

  • First, familiarize yourself with the list of forums. The best way to find threads related to a particular topic is to look in the relevant forum. Over the years most people have tried to start threads according to forum topic, and we regularly move threads from our "general discussion" area over to forums with more descriptive titles.
  • Use the "Search" facility at the top right of every page. Note that the search box asks you what section of the forum you'd like to search. If you don't know, select "Everywhere." Also check the "Search Assistance" page.
  • Use the "Tag" facility, starting with the "Key Tags By Topic" in the right hand navigation pane, or using the "Search By Tag" page, or the "Tag Overview" page which contains a list of all tags alphabetically. We curate the available tags to keep them to a manageable number that is descriptive of frequently-searched topics.
