I only skimmed the piece, but I saw no mention of transhumanism. 
Instead, he was talking about some views of AI and that of 
Singularitarians. Those are not transhumanism. Important difference. 
He might call transhumanism religious elsewhere, but he did not do 
that in the NYT piece. Please, let's keep transhumanism distinct from 
Singularitarianism.
