Transhumanists always assume that humans can “progress” to a higher existence on their own. It is the same flawed thought that Humanists and Progressives share.
>>We will be more empathetic
>>We will see the emergence of extreme personalization and customisation
The latter is true and will prevent the former. The extreme personalization of everything reinforces the human depravity of thinking that the universe really does revolve around me (or you).
We will have transhumanism, but it will not be a utopia. It will be a means for those in control to be inside your head and the masses will have to accept that to be able to reap the benefits. Think of it as a EULA written by Satan for software you must use.
Naysayers will be severely disappointed - it’s unstoppable at this point.
