Do you know how are overpopulation and transhumanism correlated with each other?

I think that the more overpopulation there is, the more people feel stresses from it, leading to more dissociation and distraction from embodied awareness, and more wishful thinking for an escape. Both of those create a fertile ground for ideas such as the notion that escaping into a computer fantasy existence, and/or modifying their bodies by adding machines, offers some form of escape and isn’t noticeably horrifying in contrast to how horrifying their everyday context is due partly to the overpopulation.

Of course, overpopulation is only one of the sources of stress and dissociation.

As for predictions of what trying to “fuse” human and machine will do to people, I think it will further dissociate and/or actually kill them and replace them with a machine or cyborg that may externally resemble them. And yes, reduced or eliminated natural reproduction may be one aspect of that.

But the overpopulation may continue anyway, as the same kind of thinking that leads to wanting to fuse humans and machines, tends to also want to mess with genetics and breed people and other animals in factories.

I think nature will take care of itself. John B. Calhoun did an experiment on overpopulation with mice and rats. The correlations to humans is a bit scary. Given plenty of space, food, water, etc in the beginning, all was good. As the population grew and overcrowding started happening, he started seeing odd behavior. Gangs formed up and attacked weaker mice to take their homes, food or mates, mothers would abandon their young, homosexuality increased, and other oddities started. In the end, he ended up with a transition to the “Beautiful Ones”. They were handsome creatures with good forms and beautiful coats. And they were 100% unable to take care of themselves or reproduce. They seemed to be only concerned with how they looked. Any of this sound familiar to humans?
