Okay... so then we could pose your own question to you; what is human, and what is consciousness exactly? And why is it impossible for our consciousness to change from human to something different?

I'm not sure. I'll have to chew that one over for a while, actually.

I think when you say, "Ultimately human" you're really saying similar in the way that we are now with similar qualities and things like consciousness and a social structure and stuff but just because THOSE THINGSG are similar doesn't mean that we haven't departed from i dunno ignorance and evil and social injustice or somethin\g whatever and aprt of this thred is that to be more than human is to be human but i think thats the piece of the puzzle you're missing.

If I am making sense of this gobbeldeygook that you call a paragraph, you are telling me that transhumanism will overcome ignorance, evil, and social injustice. My question is, why would it do that? The thinkers of the Enlightenment insisted that they could do that, the proponents of the industrial revolution insisted they could do that, and the 19th century colonialists insisted they could do that in Africa, South America, and Asia. Look how that turned out. Why the hell should transhumanism end any differently?
