We not only want to create our future, we want to flourish in it. For the first time in history we are amassing the art of science and the science of art. How did this happen? Reluctant scientific by-standers and artistic on-lookers have been rubbed together by the synergism of creativity. And, it works. But for how long?
In a fast-track society of inauthenticity, braggartism and flash-in-the-pan fame, how do our transhuman footprints endure for eternity? One way is to make sure that the substance is fool-proof, another way is to search for truth in all things. Transhuman style is more than skin deep, it brings to light transhuman intelligence and demeanor, with a sprinkle of allure.
For transhuman style to flourish, viable models need to be developed. In casting elements of transhuman style, we need to take a look at the manner in which ideas are expressed or performed as well as the combination of distinctive features of transhuman literary or artistic expression in characterizing transhumanity.
"Transetiquette" is the manner in which transhumans communicate by implementing intellectual skills such as critical thinking as well as refined emotions such as replay agility, instant feedback, memory reset, decision-assists, malfunction-alert devices and collision-avoidance in handling life’s situations. Transetiquette faux pas include false advertising, relying on pseudo-science, closet subhumanness, inflexibility and death-wishing.
Quotes
To give style to one’s character—a great and rare art! He exercises it who surveys all that his nature presents in strength and weakness and then moulds it to an artistic plan until everything appears as art and reason, and even the weaknesses delight the eye. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
When there is an incompatibility between the style and a certain state of mind, it is never the style that triumphs. Coco Chanel (1883–1971)
’Tisn’t beauty, so to speak, nor good talk necessarily. It’s just IT. Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936)
I do not much dislike the matter, but The manner of his
speech. William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
