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

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).

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
