  [MURG] Mind Uploading in the U.S. Government NBIC report
The archaeological record indicates that anatomically modern humans existed tens of thousands of years before the earliest examples of art, a fact that suggests that the human mind was not merely the result of brain evolution but also required substantial evolution in culture and personality.
Central to the Human Cognome Project would be wholly new kinds of rigorous research on the nature of both culture and personality, in addition to fundamental advances in cognitive science.
Some participants in the human cognition and communication working group were impressed by the longterm potential for uploading aspects of individual personality to computers and robots, thereby expanding the scope of human experience, action, and longevity.

Much of current human "enhancement" research is focused on improving the lives of those who have a physical or mental disability or illness.
While professional and non-professional athletes are routinely tested and censured for the use of steroids, with the general consensus being that users gain an unfair advantage, there is less contempt for individuals who elect to improve their appearance with plastic surgery.
Meanwhile, those concerned with so-called human "enhancement," as applied to healthy individuals, are concerned that such efforts are mere hubris and vanity.

 Transhumanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Transhumanism maintains that this is desirable and that humans can and should become more than human through the application of technological innovations such as genetic engineering, molecular nanotechnology, neuropharmaceuticals, prosthetic enhancements, and mind-machine interfaces (see Human Cognome Project).
Instead of "clinging to rocks" like the rest of humanity (which hated and feared them as barbarians), they headed for deep space, adapted themselves to that environment with nanotechnology, and entered into a symbiotic relationship with their technology.
The characters in that series early on met representatives from a human offshoot civilization called the Tollan, who lived in a kind of super-advanced secular humanist utopia based on science and reason, instead of religion and faith, as the proper means for understanding and controlling reality.

 Accelerating Change 2005 - Attendees   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Understanding how the human brain creates a mind is the ultimate, interesting area of study since it can impact metaphysics, philosophy, psychology, social endeavors, economics, education, entertainment, health care, politics, etc. Artificial Intelligence is an in vitro experimental approach to studying intelligence that synergizes with the neurosciences.
In that new era, in which humans will be finally able to get rid of the chains of the current "technological syndrome", they will be able to express their "creative spirit" in all the fields of human activity (Creative Society).
When humans are confronted with conflict, their mind-brains shift to a very primitive and highly reactive way of thinking called the survive mode.
