Transhumanism has delivered zilch, absolute complete empty promises, already postponed. Talking with bona fide researchers involved in cancer and senescence, there are horrendous computational challenges to even begin to understand exactly what's going on in our "nature": cells full of stuff racing inside colliding at actual 20 kilometres per hour (not scaled, actual) proteins changing shape in unknown ways all the time. Just bring a decently detailed human biological pathways diagram to a transhumanist, and ask him (it will be an arrogant him I bet) what he would change, where, why, how!
Our "achievement as a species" is mostly maximizing an entropy gradient thanks to the sun's fusion power contained in an high-energy hydrocarbon one-off windfall.
This is a despicable article full of bullshit, too much to list, just look for keyword like "and reason", or "solar power and fusion" (lol!) or the notion that environmentalism is directed against the poor when it's the ones who cannot afford distant vacations that suffer the most from PM10 & PM2.5 polluted air in cities courtesy of failing environment regulations.
If you can read this article and not get angry, then I think you need to learn yourself a bit of rationalism and critical thinking.
