The aliens land next tuesday.
Post-humans...
Yes, yes. The "will continue for a long time" is probably grounds for disagreeing, especially if you think the technological singularity is coming relatively soon.
Post-humans aren't human?
Especially as long as we remain the ones making the IQ tests and defining intelligence.
Post-humans aren't any more "huma"n than Homo sapiens idaltu or the Chimpanzee!
er... "human" not "huma"n
Above I was defining "humans" to mean "Homo sapiens", I guess that you could roughly translate "human" to mean "us" though... by that definition you could never out-grow the definition.
