It’s unnecessary to denigrate someone else’s ideas. Just do great research, and let it speak for itself. If people are interested in transhumanism, they themselves should make the effort to achieve something, and forget the naysayers. What always gives me pause are the gaps in ethics and morality, and not so much the gaps in technology. Lest we forget, at one time the NYTimes singled out a scientist to make fun for saying we could go to the moon.
