The politics surrounding the distribution of means to the individual/ smaller unit and defense of the individual/ smaller unit in the overcoming of physical limitations, it is somewhat in opposition to notions like the occasional christian notion of non-editing of the perfect body, which is a culture which seeks to create collective mental hegemony around the notion that we are perfect immutable creatures, with limits that should be respected and not overcome by human action. In that context transhumanism is the disrespect of that notion, and the usage of available means to overcome existing limitations and escape hegemonic cultures of “natural” limitations.

Yeah that is the most worrying part I think. But I am trying to learn more of it’s own merits.
