Hmm, that's true. I hadn't considered that. There will probably be an ENORMOUS baby boom once the good times arrive.

I'd like to become transhuman and stand on the surface of Mars without a suit

Here's one: There may be other intelligences in the universe. If a superintelligence here on Earth decides to exterminate humanity then a more powerful extraterrestrial intelligence may see its willingness to kill as a potential threat and then decide to kill it.

Reply to What do you expect the most out of AGI? by Envoy34

I am particularly excited for transhumanism. Imagine a world in which you can be whatever you want, in the most literal sense of the phrase. Oh and space colonization, which relates to transhumanism, because once we are capable of living there without a life support system, colonizing space becomes relatively trivial.
