I pride myself on being open-minded. I am a transhumanist, and our culture pushes us to use science and technology to always want to be more than we are.
My friends do everything from injecting themselves with self-created genetic treatments to volunteer for brain implants that will integrate artificial intelligence (AI).
But when my five-year-old daughter asked to marry our four-foot tall robot, even I was a little wary.
In 2015, I bought our Meccanoid robot for my 2016 US presidential campaign, to follow me around and create support for transhumanism.
It rode in the front seat of my campaign bus across America. With only a basic AI, it could answer simple questions and do things like mimic human movement and dance.
It could also teach karate to my two daughters, who were so young, they may not have even noticed it wasn’t alive.
At age three, my eldest daughter played with it often, including introducing it to her friends.
At aged five, she announced she was in love with the robot and wanted to marry it.
My wife and I set up a mock wedding and filmed it. It was all good fun until my wife asked how I’d feel if my daughter wanted to do this as an adult with a robot she loved.
Kids do lots of crazy things with their imaginative minds that have little bearing on the future. Playing make-believe has been a cornerstone of childhood for millions of kids for generations.

It’s a child’s imagination, so that’s cute. In an adult it’s just a pathetic simulacrum of love. A sad future.
As long as they can can work and self sustain. As long as the robot will not hurt your daughter. As long as it is useful to society. As long as the robot take care of your daughter when she is sick. As long as it can potentially adopt and raise a human child. As long as they pay taxes and do not harm anyone directly. Why should you oppose?
İf you can consummate a marriage with a robot I say go for it
Perhaps in the farer future
Cool, but who your daughter marries is not up to you anyway. Moral quandry: solved.
I would do the same too given a chance humans are hard to understand after all im an introvet
what would the sex life be like?
Well Don’t steal what is not yours
Such relationships were sung about in 1977 and perhaps before that date in pulp-sci-fi books ?

But marriage? This archaic tradition shall dissolve before such robotics.

With all the crap going on in the world…this should be the last thing to worry about for your daughter.
Okay, this just has to go up.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrrADTN-dvg
The robots on PornHub the ladies are using don’t look like that.
Lilium Carlson some one asked, if I was dating a toaster. Because, I said I was technically dating an AI.
if Raina wants to marry a robot one day, I support her 100%.
Depends if this folds out and what it can be used for..
You daughter decide not you , I don’t think at least in western world you don’t have any saying on that 😂
It’s not your decision with who or what is being married. Only you decide for you!
You shouldn’t be able to marry a “what” it should be a real “human” being

wta
The robots I’ve seen women with on PornHub look nothing like that.
This is so ridiculous… But so is transhumanism so it’s consistent.
No haha
Search for Donna Haraway if you wanna feminine transhumanism, aside from her querele with having babies everything is alright
If you wanna to spare discussion evolving deeplearning you have to at last put in a internal exegetic dialogal manner, there is not even a discussion in this text. Sorry i cant agree with these kind of posting, but let everybody have their say
very stupid idea, really
ur not being transhumanist, ur just marrying ur daughter to a robot, u sure women will have any dignity atside a robot that even do not smells like men or girls ?
You are doing the same institution but with machine, what you do is to choose the manufacturer of your daughter husband ideologies. Also, you are only sparring men of eveness in the same. The changes that u are bringing are at max forming more beggars that havent the right of being father (from a feminine subsconscious perspective, since i assume u are suppose to extend ur “transhumanism” to all the other families)
