Against Transhumanism
"The transhumanists might or might not be psychologically pathological, but they are undoubtedly afflicted with a spiritual pathology. They are in fact the most extreme example and synthesis of a complex of spiritual pathologies: the worship of wealth, power, novelty, machinery. In short, they idolize means at the expense of ends."

Transhumanist Philosophy
"Transhumanism is no dogmatic, rigid philosophy with a fixed system of thought or goals defined once and for all. Instead it is a conglomerate of different memes which fit rather well together and support each other without competing too much. This page makes an attempt to link to some of these memes, or to memes which transhumanists tend to support for various reasons."
