1: cane or crutch
3: glasses
4: contact lens
7: hearing aids
...

90: brain uploaded to cloud
95: uploaded brain downloadable to blank robot
100: brains in cloud/robots form collective superconsciousness
Agree/disagree? Points in between?

Humans use tools to enchance and augment ourselves. It’s core to being human. Not transhumanist. There’s no spectrum here. The real examples are just human. The ones in the 90s are religious fantasies (also a typical human activity).

Is the collective consciousness still transhuman, or would it be posthuman? (While still arguably being considered a transhuman goal, ie. being approached from a human-centered POV, at the same time.)

Have you watched "annihilation"? Not sure if I'd call that transhumanism, but definitely an extreme outcome (and great sci-fi)
