On the other hand, I would be the last to deny that very often
anti-transhumanists present a more intriguing and appealing portrait of what
we are than many transhumanists, too obsessed with respectability and
acceptability, do. Or they may present a transhumanism which is even more
coincident to my own views than the Real Thing... :-)

Not to mention the much higher firepower the opposition has at its beck and
call.
