Technological utopianism
Mechanical utopianism alludes to the conviction that innovative improvement is an ethical decent, which can and ought to achieve a perfect world, or at least, a general public in which regulations, states, and social circumstances serve the requirements of all its citizens.[92] Instances of techno-idealistic objectives incorporate post-shortage financial matters, life expansion, mind transferring, cryonics, and the formation of fake genius.Singularitarianism and transhumanism are two of the most important techno-utopian movements.
The “continued evolution of human life beyond its current human form” through science and technology is the foundation of the transhumanism movement, which is guided by “life-promoting principles and values.””Singularitarians believe that machine superintelligence will “accelerate technological progress” by orders of magnitude and “create even more intelligent entities ever faster,” which may lead to a pace of societal and technological change that is “incomprehensible” to us.
[93] The movement gained wider popularity at the beginning of the 21st century. [94]The technological singularity is the name given to this horizon of events.[95] Two prominent proponents of techno-utopianism are Ray Kurzweil and Nick Bostrom.Progressive, religious, and conservative thinkers have praised and criticized techno-utopianism[96].
