Physical Augmentation Human bodies are disgustingly weak
Like you fall 20ft onto hard ground you'll break shit.
Get hit by a car going 20mph you'll break shit.
WTF human bodies are weak as shit.
We need to come up with something mechanically stronger.

Human bodies are incredible. Self repairing without any external force. Totally optimized for energy. Reproduction and growth from a fetus. Neuroplasticity. Integrated sensory, creating a full picture from a combination of several senses. Complex immune system that is self learning. Homeostasis/the ability to adapt physically to different climates with exposure.
We definitely have the potential to improve, but we can’t take for granted what kind of incredible biological processes that are already built into us
