Editing Transhumanism (section)

== Types of transhumanism ==

Transhumanism has a number of subsets and flavors for you to choose from, whether for your game or philosophy, these are:

* '''Transhumanism''': Plain and simple enhancement of Humans until they can juggle dumpsters while feeding off the Sun with photosynthesis as they chat online via the implant in their head.

* '''Singularitarianism''': The belief/assumption that an AI or a hyper-genius will usher in a veritable technological big-bang (referred to as Hard Technological Singularity) after which society will be so changed/advanced as to be unrecognizeable to anyone from pre-singularity.

* '''Extropianism'''; A subset of transhumanist thought that focuses primarily on immortality and then a general and endless growth of human potential.

* '''Posthumanism'''; Getting so altered and modded that you cannot be considered even partially human anymore, though you are still of far greater abilities than a human (think Dune's Navigators).

* '''Transxenoism'''; The same as Transhumanism, except when non-humans do it, a bit neglected in the past but has been appearing more often in science fiction recently.
