Transhumanity would be exciting if they had cool visions. I'd be all over raising a creche of draconic children.

But no, it's just rich people gluing a Palm Pilot to their cerebrllum or doing a dance to shoo away the reaper.

    The overall goals of mind-controlling a computer and not aging are quite ok.

    They just can't do anything good because of who they are. If those people set out to cure cancer, they will do that through a subscription service that require complete subservience.

    I think they will give us the cancer cure which may even be cheap, but it will come with lots of other downsides for society and your individual physical and mental health. Technology is like black magic that solves the problem you asked it to but gives you a thousand new issues that end up being worse than the original situation.

    I wish they would invest in making safe delicious slushies out of (the sad goo that is left of) the past billionaires who froze themselves hoping for immortality. That's a product that could take off.
