Quote
Transhumanism encapsulates a long-lived error among the headliners of science: in a world without a destination, we cannot even break ground on our Tower of Babel, and no amount of rush and hurry on our part will change that. That we are going nowhere is not a curable condition; that we must go nowhere at the fastest possible velocity just might be curable, though probably not. And what difference would it make to retard our progress to nowhere?

Quote
A part of me tried to fabricate reasons in my mind why it was too dangerous, or why it couldn’t be possible.But I knew the truth — there was a part of me that was just afraid of change. And another part that was afraid of losing what made me special.I’d risked my life for that attunement. Was it really fair for others to get them for free? Perhaps even any attunement of their choice?But that was an inherently selfish line of thinking.
