monks of night city need not reply.
i sometimes want to get augmented, but usually only when playing immersive video games. get cyberware installed etc. i'd like to volunteer as a guinea pig - get hacked up and have some metal and cold circuits installed under the skin and in the bones... would be an experience like none other. not to mention the fun to be had if the installation procedures were successful.
anyway wat say /x/

I dont think it makes that much of a difference. People offload skills onto technology often. Being human is just a shorthand for conscious beings and if that doesnt change neither does the fundamental nature of humanity.
I feel a similar way, but I can't help but wonder what becoming so machinelike would do to an individual as a person. Those who regard this topic as an inevitable pathway for humanity's evolution and so on are interesting as well.
Excellent info, thanks.

>What is a lich
A cyborg is quite literally a technological lich, and your phylactery is a highly advanced motherboard. Your system/nerve and body integration are magic circuits, hacking is influencing them. Immersion is projection. List goes on.
Applying the 'lich' tag means that immortality is the goal. Not necessearily the situation. Anyway

The problem isn't in what you're seeing, but in what you're not seeing.
The idea that you're at the mercy of external factors beyond your control is embedded in the desire for external tech to "augment" what you are.
The idea that anything else can "augment" you, literally implies control over you from the outside.
So the spiritual factor is spiritual slavery.
That being said, there is nothing wrong with a reality of technology and physical augmentation, as long as it's not seen as a need. And as long as it's known that the "technology" is actually within you because you are your own reality, not the other way around.

Certainly. Choice. Illumined anon is illumined. Cheers.
fricking. /thread.
But honestly kids, if you aren't high level schizos yet, don't get try to get cybernetic augmentations, that's playing with fire.
psychics vs. cyber hylics
soul is the gestalt harmony of physical elements that animate the static to life, spirit is the radiance of all solar containers encountered, collected and transmuted and contained. the senses of the physical body (frick platos cave) directly transmute the radiance of external luminaries into internal light ie spirit. any augmentation that uses digital approximation of sensory information in either input of senses or output/storage of perception will directly halt sensory transmutation in leiu of digital aproximation

This is fricking heavy
>44
i will add, purely constructed machine systems can have functionally transmutation sensory input > stored referential perceptual spirit as well as an elemental body that in totality serves to animate otherwise static reduced components to motion
> consciousness = a body in motion with the potential for self recerence
Right
Wow
What if you could presence yourself into a flathead for a while and be somebody's spider-dog-thing? Now THAT would be some spiritual shit

I think Ghost in the Shell (the original movie) tackled this issue well.
