The USOT wrote:Intelligentsia =/= in favour of transhumanism. Many religious people, particularly religious intellectuals or community leaders may be violently opposed to many transhumanists on very clear religious grounds (a good freind of mine for instance is the most moderate muslim I know, and yet he is opposed to transhumanism on the beleif that the body is Sacred to Allah). Unless we are on different worlds, whilst atheism is certainly on the rise there is still an overwhelming amount of even the moderatly religious who are going to be opposed to the idea.Ostroeuropa wrote:
The working class, if they bother getting political, are typically either led by Intelligentsia working class individuals (Who are as likely to be transhumanist as not) or by the middle class
The working class may be led by intelligentsia, but that doesnt mean the intelligentsia always has to be moderate, reasonable or open for debate.
The point is, they are not united on any issue.
If they were, the working class would dominate every election. The idea of "The working class" coming out against transhumanism goes against reality.
They'll be split roughly down the middle, like always.
