<br>This is why I think transhumanism to be basically a political identity, requiring action to its supporters along the lines of any other grass-root movement. <br></blockquote><div><br><br>I agree with this wholeheartedly. For a lot of people, the grass-roots activity they want to engage in is not obviously political, but it is political in the sense that in sends a message to peers and other observers: "my worldview is valid, supported by others, and we're working to realize it - deal with it!".<br>
