Mmhhh. It is undeniable that "posthumanists" in this context refers more to
post-humanism  than to posthuman-ism.

Yet some obvious convergences do exist, and should perhaps be explored much
more in depth than it is usually the case, especially amongst English-mother
tongue transhumanists who may be deterred to do so by the attitude of people
like Dale Carrico.
