Nearly everyone in Silicon Valley is a transhumanist. Transhumanism is the water they swim in, the air they breathe. It’s so ubiquitous that many don’t even call themselves transhumanists, for the same reason that I’ve never publicly stated that I’m a round-Earther — of course I’m a round-Earther. What else would I be?
This must be super false right? I would have guessed that like 5-10% of adults in Silicon Valley are transhumanists, in the sense that they believe that “Transhumanism is the idea that we should develop advanced technologies to radically reengineer humanity, thus yielding one or more new posthuman species.”
Even if we’re just talking about tech company employees, I would have guessed that less than 20% of them are transhumanists.
