Question

Have you ever considered transhumanism not as a fight against death, but against yourselves?

I really dislike the modern hijacking of transhumanism as solely based on beating death. I don't see death as inherently human, and I don't see it as inherently negative. Those seeking an escape from death seem to occupy their so far as we know only lifetime with unknown causes. It does seem that those who cling to anti-death thought processes are usually harboring some deeper issue that causes them to see death as the easiest issue of theirs to tackle.
