Actually, I did not read his suggestion of substitution as a parody,
because I have theorized on, as others have, of the current existence of
transhuman organisms here on earth, operating at such a slow baud rate
that they are not noticed by us. They are commonly referred to as a:
"nation", "corporation", "government", "ethnic group", "profession",
"species", or "ecosystem".

I noticed that same thing, being raised a Catholic and all... I suppose
that transhumanism is a way for me to reconcile my intellectual need for
reason, to the hope for becoming greater than oneself, transcending,
becoming one with the ALL, that has been taught as Catholic Dogma and
demanded as faith in spite of the past 2000 years of showing little
improvement in situation of mans inhumanity to man. That following the
Golden Rule and keeping an open, inquisitive mind one day at a time, one
person at a time will boot strap us all to a better tomorrow.
