As far as evolution and growth and progress are concerned I have the
impression we are already living off our ancestors' legacy, as the
proverbial dwarves on the shoulders of giants.

Compounding that with the idea that we can leave everything else to
our *post*human successors seems hardly a *trans*humanist POV.

A transhumanist civilisation would mean exactly making the effort to
overcome our *present* limitations.
