There is No Ghost in the Shell: GITS Movie Analysis

[Bud Bundy]

I just want to stay human. I hate that we view this work of art that is the human body as some sort of weakness, when in reality, the effort we put into robotics can be channeled into hardening and making ourselves more robust to disease and injury. Aging can be stopped...humans gonna be like elves and shyt. I aint trying to see humans walking around looking like Borgs

It can go either way or both will happen. Sadly only the rich will prob see the benefits of these progresses.

Transhumanism is a technocratic fantasy.

Transhumanism is happening now. No fantasy about it.

No it's not LOL

These are years old:















What the fukk are you talking about?

 

[Poitier]

Like I told the other person, the peripheral and central nervous systems are TWO totally different things and posed two totally different issues. Try again.

That difference has NOTHING to do with transhumanism. Are you going to be that dishonest in order to not look foolish online?

Stop playing dictionary gymnastics.

Yes, you are correct. I was thinking of Posthumanism, which GITS is set in. That's where the central/ peripheral nervous system comes into play. Transhumanism being an advance on the latter.

I am not sure how you manage to repeatedly missed the logical, anatomical, neuro-psychological, analytical and literal slippery slope, but man do you ever. This whole thing is headed in a specific direction, the technology is on pace, if not sometimes ahead of schedule.

If you say so. I know all about the transhumanism movement, have a bachelors in cognitive neuroscience and yet, I think you are subscribing to a technocratic fantasy that isn't at all currently validated. Work on your grammar before worrying about the future, breh.

I don't need to fantasize, this stuff is happening without me
thanks for the grammar tip, I will try

what i never see explained is how you can get a formerly organic human to eventually exist without a flesh brain, and if you can do that, how a digital version of the human is somehow the real one and not merely a simulation...

That's why I said the central nervous system is the biggest obstacle. We aren't even close and anyone telling you so is a lie. We can do peripheral stuff with ease.

you have to first understand and be able to simulate the neuron and how it makes decisions and then reproduce the neurotome (the dude below calls it connectome but I have always liked neurotome) or how neurons connect to each other
there are a couple of dudes working on that that I have seen talk

Sebastian Seung is mapping a massively ambitious new model of the brain that focuses on the connections between each neuron. He calls it our "connectome," and it's as individual as our genome -- and understanding it could open a new way to understand our brains and our minds.

Sebastian Seung is a leader in the new field of connectomics, currently the hottest space in neuroscience, which studies, in once-impossible detail, the wiring of the brain.


Henry Markram says the mysteries of the mind can be solved -- soon. Mental illness, memory, perception: they're made of neurons and electric signals, and he plans to find them with a supercomputer that models all the brain's 100,000,000,000,000 synapses.

Henry Markram is director of Blue Brain, a supercomputing project that can model components of the mammalian brain to precise cellular detail -- and simulate their activity in 3D. Soon he'll simulate a whole rat brain in real time.

are you sure you are addressing what people are saying in this thread?

You just posted a youtube video and said probably the most incorrect thing in this thread. You should ask yourself, are yo answering what's being asked. Not all neurons are alike.
