Sometimes I think about people being pulled into the future by their
coat-tails, as they are reaching out, grabbing for the past. It's a funny
mental illustration.  

People may become transhumanist becasue it becomes so socially acceptable,
they take it on to fit in, however reluctant -- like wearing blue jeans
that are not really all that comfortable.
