I don't know about you, but transhumanists kind of drive me up the wall. Mainly because they all seem to envision a future where we are all part robotic amoral, de-spritualised cyborgs with circuit boards sticking out the sides of our heads as a result of some post-Trekkie bizarro concoctions of sci-fi futurism.
Just when being a geek was becoming cool, too.

"This is not genesis, this is building on three and a half billion years of evolution,...I've argued that we are about to...create a new version of the Cambrian explosion where there's massive speciation based upon this digital design....Genes [are the] the design components of the future"
