It sounds however extremely interesting.

Has anybody read it yet? Is it really so “negative”?

In any event, sometimes “critical” commentaries depict an image of transhumanism much more interesting and appealing for some of us than “supporting”, mainstream-appeasing, ones. grin

I find it intriguing, and resonating with my own views, for instance that they appear to put transhumanism and posthumanism in the same camp.

Criticism towards Transhumanism in this stage is good. It will strengthen the basic body of ideas and make it weatherproof.

And waterproof as well, hopefully. grin

A really great book is H+/-: Transhumanism and Its Critics. I highly suggest this book.  (I was the Guest Editor on the project that this book was the result of at the journal Global Spiral. Hava was the earlier Guest Editor who brought together authors to discount transhumanism and I brought together authors to rebut their erroneous and some substantial claims against transhumanism.  It makes for very good reading.)

I just got my first rnuning coach (certified rnuning coach) and I have to say, it’s made a difference in how I approach workouts. He’s got me doing speed, tempo, pace, and easy runs and I never used to do all those things. I am pretty sure I’m a faster runner than I was before and I feel a little stronger too, which is amazing to me. (I’m still slow, just not AS slow…)Having a coach makes me more accountable for my runs, which means even when I don’t want to go out, I do - so that for me is the big plus.
