Hi Dayzen, Very interesting POV. I spend a lot of time hanging around transhumanist circles, and that is obvious at canonizer.com - Most of the POV here is very pro transhumanist. But I recognize this is a minority opinion in general society. I've been trying to recruit some of this POV, and would very much like to know, concisely and quantitatively why people have a different POV like this. Thinking of it as a possible disorder like this is definitely a new way of thinking about it that I had not considered. One general observation of this topic - though. The root camp, or the 'agreement statement' (and this included the topic name) are meant to be stated in a non POV way - that everyone can agree on. When someone joins a camp, it means they agree with the name of the camp, and everything in the agreement statement. But the way it is currently cast, will encourage everyone with a different POV not to join? One possible solution could be to, instead of "Is transhumanism a Disorder" it could instead be something more like: "What is Transhumanism?" And the same for the agreement statement - much of that could be moved into a POV camp. Then, of course, you could have a 'transhumanism is a disorder' POV camp to stand with other camps that have a different POV. But, of course, there is probably definitely benefit in asking - specifically - this question about if transhumanism is a disorder or not. I'm interested in knowing if you think this is a polite policy? Upward, Brent Allsop
