Introduction
![Page 3: Quantification of Post-human Development, The Post Human Conference, Rome 2013](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020306/54c63e564a795920538b46d0/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
By making abstract and qualitative claims about post-humanism this
fundamentally hinders progress to a post-human state

Transparency, mutual understanding, education and
mutual goal finding and setting are key to a post-human future

What should we be quantifying now, that we are not already
quantifying? And what novel things do we need to be doing and
quantifying?

Discussion

We could track increases in longevity, intelligence,
philanthropy, innovation, accountability, organ transplants,
social connectivity, synthetic implants, cryopreservation and increases in beautiful, peaceful environments and individuals

We could track decreases in incidences of violence, accidental deaths, both infectious and non-
infectious diseases, and the use of words and phrases that are
correlated with individuals that have short lifespans or shorten the
lifespans of others

By adding quantification of post-human development to the
narrative of human progress this could inform bioethical inquiry,
investment, governance and policy
