AND there exist as well other distinctions in the range of possible
transhumanist discourses.

By sector, for instance: those fascinated by wet transhumanism are not
necessarily passionated with AGI experimenting.

By level: divulgation and propaganda amongst teenagers is not exactly the
same as philosophical debate or scientific papers published in peer-reviewed
journals for an academic audience.

By their "internal" vs "external" nature: even though I do not believe in
esoteric circles à la Scientology, there is some language which is perfectly
acceptable amongst us which is not perhaps perfectly suited for an
appearance in a TV show or an article in a mass newspaper.
