Transhumanism thread in progress at Reddit

Starting with this reply to “You were born too soon”:

> depending on when exactly we achieve this, this could be the best time to be born ever, because it will be the absolute earliest anybody will have achieved immortality. Someone born within 20 years of this moment could one day be the oldest human, sentient, or even living being in the Universe.

The comments are currently split between arguing and agreeing with this. So far, no mention of cryonics. One post presents a possibly interesting technical argument that our current knowledge/​technology is centuries away from mind uploading/​whole-brain emulation.

(Also posted to The Singularity in the Zeitgeist, but that thread seems to have been mostly forgotten.)
