28. "Transhumanism" gives me the squinchies ever since Kurzweil put his stamp on it

I hope for transcendence too, but of the mind/spirit rather than the machine/body sort.

I started out with Zen (via Watts) in the 70s, and after a number of explorations ended up at Taoism and Advaita Vedanta which is a form of mystic Hinduism. Sounds like we're on the same page.
