Quote

"...my transhumanism is the inevitable conclusion of 400 years of humanist and scientific progress. Transhumanism is simply the natural extension of the idea that reason can improve our lives, and that there are no divinely imposed limits on our self-improvement. Thinking people raised in the wake of liberal democracy and humanism will naturally turn to transhumanism."
