Paul Spiegel

Why are you Transhuman(ist)? I am Transhuman because humans evolve to be better than they once were.  For millennia, we didn’t even realize this, and when we did, in some fashion or another, we took it for granted for several hundred years more after that realization. For nearly all that time, we didn’t try to…
