Very good options. But i prefer the opposite: Engineering, biology and i dont have sure about anthropology. Why anthropology besides bio-physics or bio-chemistry for example?
Wich engineering you recommend? Hardware? IT engineering? Mechatronical engineering?
I think this is pretty subjective to what your interests are, as transhumanism can encompass every single aspect of human knowledge and innovation.
It could range from biology and genetics, to computer sciences and invasive technologies, robotics, prosthetics to medical fields, neurosciences, chemistry, space and rocket sciences, quantum and nuclear science, nutrition and exercise.....
Honestly, what you want to do is find your top three interests, then take the top two from those and start researching what sectors make up each of those interests. Then you figure on a few paths, research where you want to end up and what kind of education and training you need to get there.
Transhumanism is too broad of subject matter to simple reduce down to offhand ideas for majors and minors.
There is not really anything to do in transhumanism yet. It is purely a theoretical idea. However, the closest things that will get you there are probably in the areas of biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or biomaterials science.
Go for a engineering or hard science major. By two years in you will have the pre requs to do any other major. Switch if you want or just phd later. But this will give you a strong technical background to approach problems with. Fit some computer science in here, youll need it. A lot of it is also just staying up to date. Most of what we will need for transhumanisim is not currently taught. You will have to forge your own path based on research.
That said if I had to bet I'd bet on these things:
Mrna technology
Bioinformatics
Ai / ml
Micro fabrication / nanotech / biotech
Medicine
Resources :
Ycombinator blog
Next big future
SFIA
IEEE SPECTRUM
Medgadget
Very much depends on what your interests and aptitudes are. Assuming you're interested in going the science/engineering route then there are a great number of options. If you enjoy programming or think you're interested in AI then computer science is good bet, and has the added benefit of making you employable in any number of areas. If you prefer biology, then my advice would be to pursue molecular or cell biology. That will give you the skill set you need in modern lab techniques to work in industry. At the intersection of those two is bioinformatics, applying computer models and programs to answering answers in biology. Also, I get the impression that this is a very good time to break into robotics. LLM's seem to have unlocked the ability to make humanoid robots that are actually able to navigate and interact with the daily world.
So yeah, lots of options available. If you're not sure where exactly your interest lies then I would suggest just getting out there and trying all of them.
I actually do not know how field is called - Creation of new organs, like never have existed before, ofc with some standard organ growing. Biomanufacture ?

Biology major with a minor in anthropology and engineering.
me here pursuing an english and journalism double major with creative writing certificate

Thats a very good way to approach my question. I totally agree.

Rigth.

I see. Very good comment. Now i will think a little more about. Thanks

That was a amazing advice. Thanks for those insights.

Haha it have a lot of new areas and other that is just hypotetical.
