Transhumanism envisions a future where humanity can transcend its current physical and mental limitations through the use of advanced technologies.
Transhumanism and the Connection Between Human Consciousness and Artificial Intelligence Transhumanism envisions a future where humanity can transcend its current physical and mental limitations through the use of advanced technologies. The central belief of transhumanism is that humanity not only can but should pursue certain objectives to shape its future. However, there are differing…

The Impact of Conflict on Polio Eradication: Gaza and Global Challenges
As Tuesday is the week day dedicated to Health and Beauty issues to FAMILY+ Blog, we will continue with another health article. This time we will talk about a very dangerous disease that unfortunately is coming back in zones of conflict. I’m talking about Poliomyelitis, commonly known as polio. This is a highly infectious viral disease that primarily affects children under the age of five. The…

In the realm of public health, few interventions have had as profound an impact as immunizations. Vaccines stand as a stalwart defense against a myriad of infectious diseases, safeguarding individuals and communities alike.

I have a sneaking suspicion...
That if Hamas had somehow infiltrated, and were holding hostages in, the largest hospital in Tel Aviv, where the patients and doctors are Israeli civilians, that the IDF would figure out how to take out the terrorists, and free the hostages, without bombing the hospital from the air, firing missiles through the windows from the ground, and surrounding the compound with bulldozers, leaving the hospital completely nonfunctional.
And if the hospital did sustain damage, Israeli government officials would welcome inspectors from the W.H.O. to help set things right, instead of blocking their access.
That's just a hunch, though.
#palestine#nasser hospital#legally speaking “genocide” requires active intent to eradicate a People#If the deaths from bombs bullets hunger thirst and disease are NOT intentional#it's incompetence#sarcasm w/sincerity

Indigenous Hawaiians really had a good system going: wake up reaaally early and do most of the days work while it's cool and by the time the sun was up and it got hot the work was done and you're free to surf and socialize. I wish the white people realized they themselves could work smarter and not harder and get time to relax. Instead of calling Hawaiians lazy (and being genocidal about it)
#Ik this happened in most if not all tropical regions that got colonized#they were so pissed that these 'lazy' people got all sorts of fruit and natural bounty 'handed to them'#when those indigenous people were just working before the colonizers woke up and felt no need to kill themselves in midday heat#Which is what's natural for an apex predator: lazing around#Like u see lions in big cuddle puddles during the hottest part of the day. And they have the privilege of laziness by being the top predato#Idk if lions have a specific time they hunt but ik they will hunt at night when people can't observe them#Also Europeans failed to recognize indigenous agriculture and the /purposeful / cultivation of helpful plants (done w/out clearing the land#And even if they were only foraging. Like. If you love the earth and care for it (and not clear it) the earth will love you back idk#Gah! It's just like we coulda eradicated capitalism in its cradle if Euroamericans werent so arrogant and sure their way of life was correc#Like what if they were explorers and not conquistadors and colonizers. And there was a true cultural exchange#Would it have been better if the Europeans never crossed the ocean (even if they weren't there to colonize)? yeah probably#Like while the disease thing wasn't on purpose (initially) Europeans did inadvertently kill a lot of people bc they had no immunity#But I also acknowledge the human desire to explore and see what's out there#But I wish it was like#Europeans: here's some horses and metal tools#Indigenous people: thanks. Here's a way of life more in harmony with nature and an understanding that we're part of the ecosystem#Europeans: oh cool let me bring these ideas back to Europe. Maybe we won't deforest all of England#(I say Europeans but eventually when Canada and America became independent entities they also were responsible for these things)#Capitalism#capitalism is hell#anti capitalism#Colonization#colonialism#colonial violence#Imperialism#conquistador#age of exploration#anti colonialism#anti colonization#hawaiʻi

People who go "why don't you eradicate gender" annoy me so much, because gender is what I am on the inside, if both genders were treated the same, I would still be transgender because I'd still feel like a man internally and it's so hard to get other people to realize that eradicating gender is literally an impossible task, that's like asking people to eradicate sexuality so you wont have homophobia anymore, like no, people have an innate sense of their own gender/sexuality that cannot be eradicated because thats just part of being human. I genuinely feel like what these people mean is to eradicate gender roles rather than gender but still...
Sorry for the long ask, I'm just frustrated with people not understanding
It's also like... unreasonable to ask trans people specifically. We've been around for millenia - as long as there are human beings born and alive, there we will be. If gender weren't a thing, people would transition. People would still be trans. We can't be eradicated through "well let's just make gender not a thing!!!!" and it feels like some people only want gender eradicated because they think that will eradicate trans people.
Like I've said before, trans and cis people both would benefit from gender roles being less constricting and less of a priority in society. What we need is to accept others - especially those of whom "buck the binary," so to speak.
I understand the nuance that goes into these conversations; however, it's like... nobody seems interested in having it in good faith, or talking about this in a way that isn't, "you trans people are so fucking regressive about gender, unlike cis people, who are historically more normal about it."
#ask#anon#trans#transgender#lgbt#lgbtq#ftm#mtf#nonbinary#like i feel like even if we would completely eradicate gender... different genders and norms would arise despite the effort#so i think the best recourse is to make sure genderqueerness isn't treated like a fucking curse or disease#like would i *mind* if gender weren't a thing? i suppose not but i have no clue because that's not the society i live in#and it has *never* been the society i've lived in so... i don't know for sure#but i sure as hell know what society ought *not* to do based on the shit i have experienced#hopefully this makes sense 👍

re that last post. tumblr actually has a fairly large population of physically disabled or chronically ill ppl, whose lifespans have been expanded significantly thru the availability of medical (and frankly, preventative) tech today. and that’s tech and even /practices/ that wasn’t available even a couple centuries ago (we know when european docs started washing their hands before delivering babies — and a lot of u are white so that’s relevant to u). and like i get it cuz i was a wiccan teenager on tumblr for a while, the thought of being burned at the stake is frankly hot (pun fully intended), but the reality is that like… you probably /would/ have died well before hitting adulthood, due to basic ass illnesses? like i’m not even the greatest Respector Of Ancestors’ Way Of Living , it’s more like. idk first worlders who don’t appreciate current med technology and downplay that past are the most likely recruits for shit like the antivax movement
#so many of u would’ve died from smallpox… a disease that was eradicated before your parents were born…#so many of u would’ve died from A Flu#that u caught from ur farms chickens or pigs or whatever#like pigs aren’t kosher and they aren’t halal because some of our ancestors realized hanging around them was killing us#but it was pre microscope and they could t figure outWHY that was#i know it’s not as sexy to die from Inhaled Pig Shit Dust but. that’s what would happen to u be so real#my posts

whats a tdap vaccination? like the real life one or is that referring to a minecraft mod we're recommended to use? sorry if this is a silly question i could only find the real life vaccination when i looked it up and am not sure if thats what you meant
Oh the real life one, I just thought it'd be funny and also wanted to remind people to get up to date on their TDaP. Gotta remember to renew it every 10 years!
You should also get one if you're pregnant, even if you have already had it. If you time it correctly during the third trimester, then some of the immunity for whooping cough passes on and that's super important.
Anyways vaccination is how Diphtheria has been effectively wiped out in the US, despite previously being a leading cause of death. We went from a suspected million+ cases per year worldwide to ~10k worldwide. It's genuinely incredibly, and increasing vaccine access + acceptance is the best way to wipe it out for good. Which is fucking amazing given how awful Diptheria is (do NOT look up cases of it unless you have a strong stomach).
#sif answers#Anonymous#sif speaks#listen vaccinaes are the coolest shit#like we've eradicated horrific diseases with an arm poke#hell yeah

apparently one of mosquitoes' most important ecological functions is to defend ecosystems by keeping humans out. and i think more ppl need to recognize that the parts of nature not fit for human consumption are still worth protecting
(this is about wetlands. i am from florida.)
#not tolkien#also fun fact malaria would not be this big of a problem if it weren't for colonization#people in areas where malaria was endemic had genetic defenses but then populations and diseases got shuffled around#and malaria got introduced to the americas and other areas where it historically hadn't been present#also. plenty of animals carry diseases and there are better ways to treat diseases than eradicating the animals that carry them#anyway mosquitoes are annoying and i don't want them near me but they are still useful okayyy#clowns will be blocked

I've been having this thought mull around in my head because I'm asthmatic and all,
#medieval peasant#polls#death mention#but in hopefully a lighthearted way#i had to go back and throw in the medicinal clause#cuz i know some of you (myself included)#have caught the gay and would prolly be killed#so hoping to avoid social reasons#but hopefully a little lighthearted like “i ate bad cheese and would've died from that”#or silly stories along that line#this of course doesn't include diseases we've eradicated#but I'm pretty sure I'm in the 250-1000 range#allergy induced asthma would kill me dead#go out in the fields have an asthma attack? boom gonzo#this is kinda something i think about every time I use my inhaler tbh

last thing i will say about this for now bci need to calm down and touch grass but it is literally fucking insane how fast i can be plunged into panic over finding out i may have been exposed / exposed someone. it can derail my entire day / week / whatever. erase and destroy entire stretches of time. this is maybe my 5th or 6th time going thru this and it never gets easier and i know the day i finally do get it (bc at this point it feels inevitable 😃✌️) i am going to have the biggest fucking panic attack of my life which will make my symptoms worse and then i will get long covid and die. awesome
#purrs#i need this disease to be eradicated. i wish covid never happened. i wish i could go back to march 2020 and live. a normal life and never be#afraid to interact with people and graduate on time and move out on time and not lose years and feel trapped and hopeless and vulnerable#constantly. few things motivate me more than the hatred and fear i feel about this fucking apocalyptic situation we are in and how it seems#like no one cares anymore and i am being hysterical and insane. i cannot fucking take it. i don’t want the new normal or even a better new#normal where everyone takes it seriously. i want it GONE. i wish it never existed. i want to never ever have to think about it again#like the fact that we are still 2 years in and there is o much unknown about it and about long covid and recovery from it. long covid is my#biggest fear unironically. losing control and function of my brain and body. causing that for someone else. i cannot fucking take it. i cant
