How will there be mankind in post-human future?
Why? Aren't there animals in the post-animal (human) present?

Simple - just don't learn anything for the next 30 years!

#46I'll be at my 57. I would love to build a vintage home in the far south of India and maintain the agricultural lands that I own. I would love to do anything myself without anyone's help. And I don't want to be a coder by that time but I would love to teach others by that time. I would have explored at least 50 countries by that time and also might have finished my second book.

Fortunately this is impossible. You cannot copy a running program. You can keep a brain alive in a jar forever (the hardware the software runs on), but you can't transfer running software from one machine to another.
What if the brain could be replaced incrementally with synthetic neurons using some sort of nanotech? Is it the same mind when it's done? This is a variant of the old Ship of Theseus paradox[0].
Another question - can the "program" of the mind be stopped, then resumed?

You must not have heard about VMware or VMotion, it's their killer app. There are alternatives from other hypervisors, but I believe VMware was the first to do this.
The brain isn't a virtual machine!

#49Assuming the creation of AI went smoothly, virtually all jobs would be obsolete due to AI, society has transitioned to basic income, and I'd be trying to wrap my head around the latest discovery from our AI friends.
It'll be like we are kids again, watching the AI's going about their grown up business.
Can't wait! :)
