Are transhumanists defective communists?

No? Just because I want to see capital done away with doesn't mean I worship technology as an end in itself. Not sure who that chump is or why anyone should care.

What I heard about Eliezer Yudkowsky is that he has some website that's all about using science-thought to turn humans into rational supercomputer people who will go off to colonize Mars, which means "mind-killing" oneself of anything deemed political. Surprise, this has pumped out a bunch of contrarian internet fascists which has been very embarrassing for Yudkowsky, since not only is he's Jewish he also has to square the fact that his ominpotent science-thought might actually be producing flawed people, so he has opted to largely ignore the problem.

Transhumanism is a praxis, not a theory. Whoever the guy in OP is, is surely an imbecile. I also love how he left out that Hitler thought Aryans were descended from Atlanteans, from Atlantis, the fictional city invented by Plato in his book Critias. Do nazifags use mythology as an excuse for their lack of theory? It's a reification fallacy (I'm naming the logical fallacy here, not the term ascribed by marxist critique.)
This term was used by Friedrich Nietszche to describe lions. Yes, you heard me right. Lions. As in, the animal.

Transhumanism is idealist, transhumanists have no proof that technology will allow people to "upload their minds" or use gene engineering to create drastically smarter humans (>300 Autism Level for example). They also have no proof that computers will be able to become significantly faster than they are today, as we have reached the physical limits of how small transistors can get.
Transhumanism is also fascist, as it is obsessed with racial superiority and the "obsolescence" of the vast majority of proles.
You only have to look at the main proponents of transhumanism: mainly freaks who own or work for tech companies.

A Post-Singularity utopia where the brain can be reverse engineered to eliminate all suffering and experience perpetual euphoria seems like a far better end goal than a workers' paradise.
