The natural human brain is an evolutionary product, it’s not designed to experience that much beauty. We want life to be beautiful, evolution only wants it to be adequate. That’s why we want transhumanism—to enhance the beauty of life that we already experience. Because nature doesn’t give us enough

Heh. I've experienced so much beauty at times that this actually made me chuckle.

Heh. Need a functioning philosophy of beauty in the first place to figure out what you're aiming at!

I suspect that the nature of intelligence, even superintelligence, is extremely diverse, in that initial conditions could lead to many very different ideas and outcomes.

This is why its imperative that we actually get it right societally. So, in this enthusiast community I hope to create some thought-provoking questions that push the needle just a tiny bit father towards being likely to be a good outcome rather than a bad one! Heh.
