Person A: “Transhumanism is fascist.”

Person B: “Fascists hate transhumanism because it undercuts them.”

I think they’re both wrong, but it’s fun to watch them fight.

(Evangelicals hate transhumanism because it undercuts them, but “fascist” shouldn’t just mean “terrible person.”)

There are four faction leaders in Eden’s Last Sunrise: a genocidal religious leader, a blood-soaked imperialist, a dangerous idiot, and a transhumanist who wants to upload everyone to computers. The transhumanist is my adorable autistic waifu, and I think she’s the only possible party member who could be described as a good person. (I don’t think you can still call yourself a good person if you side with the religious leader or the imperialist, which most party members are capable of doing.) After I got the (stupid) true ending, I asked some questions on the forum. Apparently, I was supposed to think the transhumanist was playing God. Fuck that.

I don’t often say this, but “skill issue.” Hertzfeld thinks a person is a statue that crumbles, but I think a person could also be a braid. One string ends, and another begins. You don’t become smaller, just different, and being different isn’t inherently bad.

Transhumanism is a chrome supremacist ideology.
