DS9's explicit anti-transhumanism (with Bashir's backstory and then the tragic lives of the Jack Pack) is something rationalists get all heated about, interestingly They like the show because it brought these issues up and then of course all take sides against the showhttps://twitter.com/chathamharrison/status/1362194267989544960 …

I never saw DS9 The Show as being anti-transhuman. The Federation obviously is of course.

I've seen people go back and forth on whether the Jack Pack and Sarina's story are an incisive exploration of neurodivergence in an ableist society or are themselves dangerously ableist Especially when Jack loses his shit and becomes violent/murderous

Yeah, I believe strongly in the ideals of transhumanism, but they're still only ideals. Transhumanism in practice demands a lot more care than that clique ever paid toward anything.
