@iyzana I find it hard to believe that you read this paper and came away with that conclusion

@drewdevault good read! Not sure I agree with all their points, in particular I think transhumanism is a mixed bag of beliefs that can be either very good or very bad depending on the particular flavor. But the strong presence of eugenics and other dickishness in TESCREAL/futurist circles is very real and should be treated seriously. |
@drewdevault I find that paper (I would call it more of an article) to be way too aggressive.
I think the following article describes the flaws and problems with these philosophies a lot better, without lumping them all together and without ad hominem arguments.
