Absolutely. Moreover, even within *single* life projects, and any,
relative, optimality views, the very idea that perfection (ultimate
"Singularity"?) can actually be achieved, rather than forever strived
for, is not very transhumanist, IMHO, as it would preclude further
improvements.

But is it really any different in the Zen approach?
