How many more years until humans become obsolete? I fear we only have so little time left until humans become obsolete. Even 40+ years sounds too soon. I'm going to be sick in anticipation. It's like a big nightmare coming true.

If this helps my goal is to become transhuman by 2030.

what do you mean by absolute ? humans are number 1 producer of various forms of feces, pollution and sickness. humans will become obsolete when there is no more feces to produce !

This doesn't even make any sense.

All organisms have essentially one basic purpose - to make copies of their genes. Nothing but Homo sapiens is going to make new Homo sapiens.

What else is there? Robots making cars? Been happening for decades. And people were wringing their hands well over a century ago about such things as mechanized agriculture displacing workers. What happened? People would other things to do.

Every generation thinks "This is it! This is really the end!". But it never is - that's just the self-absorption inherent to humanity always at work.

Humans won't become obsolete but vastly improved when human brains and robotic bodies are merged. A digital brain will never die and can be upgraded like any software. A robotic body never gets sick, doesn't need to eat, drink, pee, poop, and consumes endless resources like humans do -- even when we are sleeping.

As I have said before, nature has done all it can with human biology. If we want to continue to evolve, a robotic transformation is the next logical next.

Too bad I won't be around to benefit.

From genetic point of view, the very first life form on earth with a gene is still in your gene.
In reverse thinking, your gene is coming from your parents and so do their genes.
Keep going back, you meet the the first life form with gene.
So some life form in the far future might have your gene if you and all your offsprings exist and reproduce.
Basically, the gene of the first life form is still in our gene and in a sense never die.
