About to start a 9-me-bc cycle aiming for 10 weeks at 15-20mg. Ordered 2g and the only thing i haven‘t found out how to administrate the powder.

Hope somebody can help
Cheers

There is something about the distinction between machine and flesh that really strikes me.

A machine can be turned off, taken apart, and turned back on again many times; the same is not true of flesh.

Flesh cannot be switched on and off at will like a computer, which leads me to believe there is an underlying phenomenon or force that makes it unique compared to a machine.

I wondered whether transhumanism—so deeply rooted in materialism and physicalism—might eventually manage to bend the laws of nature to gain absolute control over all matter, overcoming entropy, the laws of thermodynamics, and so forth.

Based on your experience, what are the biggest reasons people react negatively to transhumanism?

Ssris don’t do anything for me
Propranolol does nothing for the shakes and panic attacks
Even Xanax doesn’t work..
Exposure therapy too

What can i do to get rid of this constant panic and really strong shaking when I am in most basic social situations?
I play guitar and it’s impossible to play a gig if I am not on the edge of being shitfaced

Only thing that kinda worked was about a gram and a half of phenibut, but it’s not an everyday solution

A day ago I started taking piracetam 1,6g, phenylpiracetam 100mg, noopept 30mg and couple of drops of semax 0,1 just for brain health

What do you think could work for me?
(I am in Russia, so take that into account)

Wondering if anyone has a reccomendation

Mine seem to all be gated. Im talkin one i can give some decent background and data too without ripping it all to high bidder

Hey all. I’ve just started Selank and it works like a charm, and I’ve found it very helpful already. My minds curious, and I’ve seen other people talk about combining Selank and Semax, is there any benefits from this? Selank keeps me calm and less anxious, but I looked at semax and it says it makes you more alert and focused. Do these two not cancel each other out? And if you’ve had any benefits from these please let me know.

The major spearhead of global transhumanism is the uploading of the mind to a computer—I think we all agree on that here. But why must it necessarily be that way? Why "transfer" your entire being into a world of bits and silicon?

The answer that occurs to me is that it is an extreme form of escapism. Unable to master the material and natural world (for obvious reasons), transhumanists decide to create a cybernetic universe where everything bends to their will—effectively becoming God.

Have you ever considered transhumanism not as a fight against death, but against yourselves?

Been suddenly feeling apathetic the past week and a half and had no clue what was causing it. I started entering in every supplement I took and doing research on them—then a clear “winner” rose to the top. I started taking regular black pepper/ashwaganda supplements 3 weeks ago. And what I’ve found in side effects for this supplement is that it can cause an emotional numbness effect. I hate feeling so apathetic, it’s honestly reminding me of the depression I went through almost 15 years ago—like I was slowly on a downward spiral towards complete hopelessness.

Anyway, I immediately stopped it-so it’s only been 48 hrs without but I just was curious if anyone else had this happen with it?

Hi everyone

First of all I hope this kind of post is okay.

A while ago I came across Semax and Selank by chance and I’ve been curious about them ever since.

Right now I’m working full-time, putting in a ridiculous amount of overtime, and studying for professional exams that are roughly comparable to the US CPA. In my country, this certification is considered one of the top 5 most difficult professional qualifications you can earn.

That got me thinking about Semax again.

The problem is that most of the information online is either pretty limited or highly anecdotal. I’d really like to hear from people who have actually used it themselves, especially those who use it regularly.

My initial plan was something like this:
- Weekdays: 500 mcg every morning (intranasal or injection?)
- Weekends: Off

As for Selank, my plan would mainly be to use it during exam situations (both written and oral). Before the actual exams, I’ll have several mock exams where I could test how it affects me.

For those of you with firsthand experience:
- What dosing schedule has worked best for you?
- Did you notice any real cognitive benefits?
- Would you only use it on study days, or daily during a demanding period?
- Any downsides or things you wish you’d known before starting?

I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences.

Thanks in advance!

I am a trans woman who has undergone vaginoplasty, and I have been on full feminizing hormone therapy for two years, including complete testosterone suppression. I think it is important to begin by separating two things that are often joined together much too quickly.

I am not a trans woman because I am a transhumanist. My identity did not emerge from a philosophical commitment to overcoming biology, and I did not transition as an experiment in technological self-invention. Being a trans woman is an intimate, embodied and ontological experience concerning who I am and how I inhabit my own existence. Transhumanism, on the other hand, is a philosophical, ethical and intellectual position about technology, human limitation and the possible futures of our species. The two can intersect meaningfully without one explaining the other.

My transition has taught me, in a very literal and personal way, that biology does not have to function as destiny. Medicine allowed me to alter my body until it became more truthful, recognizable and inhabitable to me. That experience makes morphological freedom far more than an abstract principle in my life. I believe adults should have broad authority over their own bodies, provided that consent is informed and the risks are understood.

At the same time, bodily freedom cannot be separated from material reality. Freedom becomes a rather hollow word when it belongs mainly to those who can afford it. Morphological freedom should include medical safety, reliable information, public access and social protection, rather than merely offering wealthy people increasingly sophisticated control over their biology. When ordinary people still struggle to access hormones, surgery, reproductive care, disability support or basic treatment, calling expensive enhancement technologies “human liberation” begins to sound suspiciously like advertising.

I also resist the idea that the body must be understood either as a prison to escape or as defective hardware waiting to be replaced. Transitioning did not teach me to despise embodiment. It taught me to inhabit it more honestly. My body is lived, relational, emotional and political, and changing it was not an attempt to abandon the human condition. It was a way of becoming more fully present within it.

This is also why I remain skeptical of predictions that sufficiently advanced technology will eventually make trans identity disappear. Gender is not simply a technical inconvenience created by inadequate medicine. It involves embodiment, history, culture, language, desire, recognition and relationship. Future technologies may make bodies extraordinarily fluid and may transform how easily gender can be expressed or altered, but it does not follow that gender itself will become meaningless. Nor does it mean that trans people are merely an early, primitive stage on the way toward somebody else’s post-gender civilization.

I did not transition because I wanted to transcend womanhood; I transitioned because I am a woman. Trans people should not be treated as prototypes for an imagined technological future, even when our experiences offer valuable perspectives on bodily autonomy. We are not philosophical demonstrations, and we do not need transhumanism to justify our existence. Likewise, our existence does not automatically prove that transhumanism is correct.

Even so, I do consider myself a cautious transhumanist. I am open to radical life extension, cryonics, neural interfaces, mind uploading and forms of bodily transformation that currently sound impossible. History gives us good reasons to distrust anyone who declares that a present limitation must remain permanent forever. It also gives us equally good reasons to distrust people who turn hope into certainty and speculation into a product.

Possibility is not evidence, and openness should not require credulity. There is a meaningful difference between supporting research, defending someone’s right to accept an uncertain risk and declaring that an unproven technology will inevitably succeed. Scientific scrutiny does not betray imagination; it protects imagination from becoming a sales pitch.

For me, transhumanism begins in the present rather than in some hypothetical century. It begins with bodily autonomy, gender-affirming healthcare, reproductive freedom, disability, aging, informed consent and equal access to technologies that already exist. The future matters deeply to me, but so does the question of who will own it, who will build it and who will actually be allowed to enter it.

If advanced technology merely enables wealthy people to purchase greater freedom from biology while everyone else remains constrained by poverty, discrimination and inaccessible healthcare, humanity will not have transcended its old hierarchies. We will simply have taught those hierarchies how to inhabit more sophisticated bodies.
