    I’m glad you found the definition. Go people who call themselves, trans humanists believe, because it is antihuman.

    Look up TESCREAL

    And no, it’s not the same as saying a trans woman is anti-man, because trans. Women don’t want to exterminate all of the men after they complete their transition.

    If you want to be stronger, go to the gym. If you want to be smarter, read more and learn critical thinking skills. Their technology will not help you realize either of those goals.

      Look, silicon valley didn’t invent transhumanism in 2023. It’s at least half a century older. TESCREAL is clearly antihuman but just because billionaires want to use transhumanism for bad purposes doesn’t make it inherently bad. Look up definition of inherently.

      I wasn’t using word trans there because it wasn’t my point. Just because I want to improve myself with technology doesn’t make me evil. Maybe the evil part is exterminating humans, not improving humans who want to be improved. Maybe forcing an ideology on othet people is the evil part? Transhumanism itself has nothing to do with killing.

      Sentences in your last paragraph are so broke I have no idea what you are saying.

        No, but it got jammed together with the rest of the TESCREAL bundle and you can’t just ignore that.

        I’m 100% in favor of human augmentation, life extension, mind uploads, all that shit.

        But they’re not in favor of something that will be for everyone. They’re in favor of something that will be reserved for an elite few so they can legally hunt us all down like deer.

          I’ll reiterate myself then. Maybe the evil part is hunting down people then?

        I was doing speech to text at work, hence the broken paragraph, but I’ve fixed it now.

        I know what inherently means, that’s not exactly a $10 word, but good job.

        What technology are you imagining augmenting yourself with then?
