I think we will eventually end up in either a genderless society...The technological promises of transhumanism are meaningless unless we confront and destroy gender.
You think it likely we will end up in a future with what you see as an enormous evil gone, even as most people don’t see it that way.
I’m reluctant to update my predictions about the future much based on yours because you have an idiosyncratic prediction that matches an idiosyncratic value system.
Maybe you took steps to avoid thinking something true because you hope it?
As an analogy, imagine you were speaking to someone and they predicted the USA, Canada, and Mexico would become a single political entity before 2100. You might think that very interesting, but if it later was revealed that the person’s solution for America’s problems was unity with Canada and Mexico, you would probably be skeptical about the prediction and think it might be wishful thinking. The reason you didn’t think that at first is because you had never heard that discussed as an ideal or near-utopian scenario (at least I haven’t).
I didn’t give any distribution for the two option-clusters I outlined. I think it’s more likely that we’ll end up in a patriarchal dystopia for a variety of reasons. I think that the enlightenment ideas that transhumanism claims to champion are meaningless in a patriarchal context (or a context devoid of feminist analysis).
I think you’re being very eager to disagree with me, which isn’t unsurprising, since politics etc..
