well you have to make some distinctions between tayhart and transhumanism so tayhart i mean you what they have in common is you cut the transcendent dimension out or it's collapsed into this world and for the transhumanists i call the doctrine dataism or it's been called computationalism where reality is just data and data patterns so what we call a human which has no ontological status it's just these are just particular collections of data data patterns and so you know like arthur c clark had already envisioned the kind of kurzweilian mind uploading thing and it's a hive mind right ends up being the hive mind because you're not going to have individuality

Humans are just data.
