The Bio Enhancement Dilemma

As human enhancements proliferate we will observe that some of the spiritually least developed will become the physically strongest.

While minds (artificial intelligence) may be made temporal, bodies, then, are made everlasting—which is the exact opposite to our current realities, in which minds may be eternal, and bodies finite.

While symptomatic of the externalization of our abilities and skills, this will have a huge impact on our psycho-physical reality. Which is going to be of interest again later.

About Me

I’m Jens (long: Jens Oliver Meiert), and I’m a web developer, manager, and author. I’ve been working as a technical lead and engineering manager for companies you’ve never heard of and companies you use every day, I’m an occasional contributor to web standards (like HTML, CSS, WCAG), and I write and review books for O’Reilly and Frontend Dogma.

I love trying things, not only in web development and engineering management, but also in other areas like philosophy. Here on meiert.com I share some of my experiences and views. (I value you being critical, interpreting charitably, and giving feedback.)
