Exactly my point. The "left" and "right" labels are becoming more and more irrelevant even in MAINSTREAM society. It perhaps has it use to describe from where a particular person reached transhumanism. But transhumanism asks new, more relevant questions that the old ideologies cannot answer. So drop the "left" and "right" transhumanism, what I intended with that point in my previous letter is that some of us can attack the old, increasingly anti-transhumanism left (without dropping their own values) in a way they really don't expect.
