My Focus on Cybernetic Organisms
Posted by Andrew Garcia under: Cybernetics; Transhumanism .
Just one clarification:
I’ve had quite a number of people e-mail and approach me (in the real world as well as through the blog) about why I focus on Cyborgs.
It’s certainly an obscure topic but has quite a broad application. As always, I refer you to the definition of a Cyborg (it explains why my definition may be different than your definition).
So, having explained what a Cyborg is in the context of my blog (and my personal opinion, as well!) it should be understood that really we’re talking about Transhumanism and Technoprogressivism rather than bionic modification. Previous posts have hinted at future articles on such discourse on bionics…you’ll have to wait and see.
So to sum:
Becoming Cyborg is really a discussion on Transhumanism, and how to be H+ with a focus on utilizing [meta]technologies in addition to mechanical technologies to augment our reality.
Stay tuned for a really awesome post on: self-awareness and its implication for Cyborgs/Transhumanists!

Here’s hoping you still cover bionic augmentation of humans and other organisms… That science is totally interesting!
