Transhumanism scale 🤔
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).

Haha. Sorry. Just “glasses are transhumanism” is like saying “y=mx+b is an artifificial intelligence that can predict a location on a line” (to paraphrase )

Likewise, I will never understand the backlash crowd's need to make every radical thing a brain-dead-obvious minor incremental advance designed solely to oppress the working classes 😂
you don’t argue in good faith, that’s an absurd straw man

I'm not arguing at all, I'm making fun of your position because I've had WAY. TOO. MANY. INSTANCES. OF. THIS. ARGUMENT. :)
