Join WikiProject transhumanism and be bold

Show off a userbox with {{userWPA}} or {{userWPA2}} and attract potential members
Help with articles.
See this month's adopt an article.
Help out with the To-do lists

Be consistent

Use a "standard" layout for transhumanism related articles (see: The perfect article, and Featured articles)
Add Transhumanism navigation template on the bottom of all transhumanism articles; (use {{Transhumanism}} or see navigation template)
Add Transhumanism info box to all transhumanism related talk pages (use {{Wpa}} or see info box)
Add [[Category:transhumanism]] to the bottom of all transhumanism related articles, so it shows up on the list of transhumanism articles

Maintenance / Etc

Find/cite sources for all positions of an article (see citing sources.
Try to expand stubs, however, some "new" articles may be neologisms, as this is common with positions on theories on life and may be suitable for deletion (see deletion process)
Watch the list of transhumanism related articles and add to accordingly (see transhumanism articles)
And always write for an encyclopedia.

Your immediate attention

false choice into false dilemma - discuss whether you are for or against this merge here
Clarify references in Transhumanism, using footnotes.

I believe this article should be deleted as it refers to something which does not exist. There are other articles which treat this subject properly as speculative fiction.

Proposal

To develop this article, it should bring together material from:

as well as other sources, such as The Singularity is Near by Ray Kurzweil, and perspectives from Neuroscience.

It should address the issues of:

How much computing power does the human brain use? (This should cite various predictions, by Hans Moravec, Ray Kurzweil and many others. Maybe a table would be good.)
When does Moore's Law predict that this much computing power will be available?
What are the prospects of duplicating the function of the nervous system and neural structures? How is it difficult? What are the issues?
Historical research approaches such as Pitts & McCullough, etc.
Current research approaches, such as Blue Brain, Artificial Intelligence System etc.
It should link to philosophy of artificial intelligence#The brain can be simulated and ethics of artificial intelligence.

Brain death

Critics of the notion of brain death have sometimes argued that it could be invalidated by the futuristic existence of artificial brains, given that death in its broadest definition involves the entire body and that it happens on the cellular level, and not on any peculiar mnemonic level. Hence, if your brain unexpectedly dies, it might be replaced by one of these organic computer brains that would maintain your previous state of psychological consciousness, as one would store information on a computer disk.

Survey article: artificial brain projects

100 GW? WT*?

Isn’t “an order of 100,000” times more than a megawatt 100 gigawatts? Supercomputers only consume a few megawatts, not many gigawatts. I’m not so sure that the so-called “current supercomputer” can possibly use anywhere near 100 GW of power.

EDIT: Haha, I beat you to it, robot! 73.208.153.86 (talk) 23:10, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That sentence appears to be clarifying that 1MW is an order of 100,000 more than 20W. I've changed the grammar a bit to help parsing that. (Still needs a citation though.) Tga (talk) 18:33, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
