I'm not convinced that Althusseerian antihumanism is anti-humanistic  
because structuralism places identity at the center, whereby all else  
is a matter of building blocks of perception in decoding culture.  
Seems very humanistic for its relevance to human, and transhumanist  
for its ability to build structures based on behaviors - (now  
including nonbiological behaviors).

Am I wrong, or am I wrong?
