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).

We tend to assess the radicalness of things based on how hard it is for individual humans to either understand them or learn to use them. That's a bad standard. Evolutionary jump sizes have low correlation to our conscious difficulty in learning things.
