    But it would be something as easy to change as breathing. Arguably for hairless apes birthed from nature we’ve gone much further than I would have imagined had I been introduced to humans for the first time a hundred thousand years ago.

    Sidebar, it’s always interesting what triggers that response of what seems like a natural exploration in a thread and what is considered too off topic. I’ve found it is associated with how well the statement agrees or brings conflict to the primary statement of a post more so than the legitimacy of the comment or how measurably on or off topic it is.

        If for example we had sufficient VR or uploaded consciousness or otherwise sufficient technology we could change form as simply as we breath.

        I am surprised humans have even gotten to this point, we have a lot of baggage from evolution we’re still carrying around.

        The more a comment agrees with the sentiment of a post the less likely someone is to say it is off topic. The less in agreement a comment is the more likely it is someone will say it is off topic and that’s more of an indicator than if it was actually off topic.

          We will still have favorite aspects of presentation and someone will always have a problem with a part of your outward appearance that you consider non-negotiable.
