Sad. This is a nightmare, but I greatly appreciate the poem.

Whatever it means to be a humanist in the positive sense — theologically, existentially, ontologically — I think that Yuval Noah Harari and his ilk are ANTI-humanist instead of being transhumanist.

Yes Gary, you are right: calling them ANTI-humanists is a much better word. I am using “transhumanist” because that‘s the word they are propagandizing (uhm, is this a word here? :) )

Yep. Propagandizing is a perfectly good term.

"Like golden apples in silver settings are words spoken at the proper time." We must carefully choose the words we speak - but we must speak them for the values we cherish! for all that is true, beautiful, and good!
