I can sum up the entire reply on this statement alone.
You cannot, and I resent your attempt to do so. You're just retreating into vagueness instead of arguing pertinent points. You're also projecting opinions on me that I haven't stated, apparently because you're more comfortable with parrotable dogma than relating your own opinions. Suddenly, instead of arguing for my own specific statements, you expect me to argue against extremely general statements about technology and phrophetic claims of inevitibility. You'd might as well say "God wills it" for all the passivity and coarseness of thought you've expressed here.
You're making the worst sort of argument that a person can make about transhumanism when you pretend that everything with turn out perfectly in some distant future regardless of the actions taken by people in the meantime. That is faith, not reason, and I'll have no part of it.
Reality is not an implementation detail. We're done here.
