@ThatVeryQuinn i would say it qualifies if it's permanent. eg a grandpa with a pacemaker is a cyborg imo
@MightyPork why only permanent, though?
@ThatVeryQuinn well isn't it otherwise just a tool basically? cyborg should have augmented body, no?
@MightyPork I believe there is a movement within the transhumanist circles to understand cyborgs as people who use tools to augment their daily lives. Idk, I sort of think that's a more apt description, since under the present definition it excludes hearing aids and other assistive technologies people use day to day.
@ThatVeryQuinn hmm could be, i'm not really in the loop very much
but won't then a pirate hook make the pirate a cyborg too?
@MightyPork I getcha, and yeah pretty much, haha.
I think the idea is that humans are naturally drawn to augmenting ourselves using tools, ergo cyborg is a natural state of being for us. But then I'm probably butchering this.
