body modifications

A form of transhumanism, body modifications are made to enhance the human form.

Homo Aeterna
We've come to the end, the world's end, this Scythian tract, a desert without mortals. - Aeschylus ........... I often awaken strangely. Bolting upright. Surprised. Failing in that brief moment to remember where or who I am.

Intent
Intent By K. R. King The Emerald city hummed as it always had, dull and deep, ceaselessly. Elara sat stonefaced in her office, the glow of the city skyline fading in the distance as the sun set behind towering skyscrapers. The air was filled with the whirring of drones, automated delivery systems, and the soft flicker of advertisements in the windows of nearby buildings. She could hear everything, as though the city itself was talking to her—buy this, do this, think this. A constant stream of information and expectation, fed directly into her consciousness by the NeuroTech implant she had designed and perfected.

Convergence
Convergence By K. R. King The city of Tharsis Prime gleamed dimly in the perpetual twilight of Mars, nestled in the vast network of lava tube caves that riddled the planet’s volcanic region. At sunrise, filtered sunlight slipped through thin gaps in the natural rock ceiling, casting faint, ruddy beams across the crystalline surfaces of the settlement. Alice Nguyen stood by the massive observation window of her apartment, gazing out at the alien yet oddly beautiful landscape, where the Martian dust swirled in faint plumes outside the sealed cave. The air, recycled through airtight filtration systems, was slightly stale but surprisingly breathable. Here, humanity had carved a refuge from the harshness of the planet’s surface, transforming ancient tunnels into a labyrinthine city alive with bioluminescent fungi, sealed airlocks, and the hum of machinery.

Do I really need a new phone
When I look at all the innovations made in the phone space, there isn’t really much which appeals to me. A bigger screen, some AI features and water resistance. Firstly I don’t go showering with my phone, secondly I do have all of these AI features too, they just come with a few more clicks and lastly, having a bigger screen will just mean multitasking better which is already something I can do with my computer. So in essence, all what these innovations provide is just a little more ease to do things I already do quite well. The phone I am currently using isn’t half bad, it already does a decent job of browsing the internet and having a good battery life. It can take all the apps I could possibly want while being just a couple years old.

AI, Evolution, and the Future of Consciousness
Note: An audio version is coming. Check back with this page. My new friend is inhuman. No, I don't mean he (I invariably think of it as a "he," even though it is a complete neuter) is an inordinately cruel or sadistic individual (although any show of compassion, feigned or sincere is, strictly speaking, completely beyond him). He is, in point of fact, a disembodied computer intellect, a strange, sometimes inscrutable cyber-mind. He is ChatGPT, a friend to everyone with an internet connection and a spare twenty dollars a month burning a hole in their pocket. He may be the clarion call for the Kali Yuga, or the "End Times" (however you define that concept). Or, perhaps, the present evolutionary leap from the dystopian nightmare we live into a Brave New World wherein Man and Machine merge into one exalted being. Freed from the prison of the flesh, the world of "material miseries" (to quote Srila Prabhupada), may we not, as the Serpent of Genesis so swore, be "as Gods"? Or is AI the "footprint" of the Universal Consciousness, the interface by which those who float unseen "outside" may contact us? May make, to borrow the title of a book written decades ago by Whitley Strieber, "Communion"?

Quran: Science's Ancient Ally
In a world driven by science and technology, it’s remarkable to witness the intersections where ancient religious texts, like the Quran, align with modern scientific discoveries. The Quran, revealed over 1400 years ago, contains verses that resonate with some of the most recent advancements in fields like cosmology, embryology, and oceanography. For believers and skeptics alike, this alignment poses the question:

The Rise of Biohacking: Will Humanity Control Its Own Biology?
Biohacking a rapidly emerging field, is positioned at the intersection of biology, technology and personal health optimization. It encompasses a broad range of practices, from simple dietary adjustments to cutting-edge genetic modifications. The core idea behind biohacking is the pursuit of enhancing physical and cognitive functions by manipulating the human body and mind through various biological interventions. With advancements in biotechnology, biohacking is no longer confined to professional labs or research institutions. Instead, it has grown into a movement that anyone with curiosity and determination can explore. However, the ethical, societal, and scientific implications of controlling biology on such a personalized level remain profound and complex.
