Transhumanist vs. Posthumanist
(Spoilers for PALISADE 29!) This is not mega important, but it's interesting to me! Re: the edit to change the PALISADE 29 spoiler block from saying "transhumanist" to "posthumanist and accelerationist" - the historical accelerationism is obviously totally correct, but I would absolutely argue that Dahlia is a transhumanist, not a posthumanist. Definitions differ, obviously, but the one I've always gone by is that transhumanism is about "improving" humanity through technological innovation until humans become something "better" than human, whereas posthumanism is critical of the human-centric concept of "person" in the first place. The former comes from Enlightenment thinking and science and positivism and is totally compatible with imperial bullshit, and it seems to me exactly like what Dahlia is doing. I'd propose changing that back to transhumanist. What do people think? Rigormorphis (talk) 00:08, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
