        Could you please elaborate on what these endeavours are? One of the
interesting things about transhumanism (which was highlighted by Greg Burch
at Extro-4) is that its proponents all have different ideas as to which
scientific and sociological advances are most important, and which should
have the most funding. All transhumanist endeavours are indeed bold, but
truly...which is the boldest?
