I'm not very knowledgeable about the dogma of "transhumanism" but I get the gist.
Beyond some cataclysmic event that destroys humanity or access to technology then it's logical to assume the speed of development and implementation of technology will continue to increase exponentially.
In this thought experiment, where humanity overcomes all "roadblocks" and maintains an exponential rate of technological advancement, humanity would draw closer to a "singularity", in which humanity would create all it is able to. An instant fulfilment of humanity, if you will.
This much, I agree with, however I have great reservations and cynicism when I imagine humans overcoming even the most likely of barriers towards a "singularity". The closest that I personally believe we will probably attain to a state of "transhumanism" is when the wealthy elite are able to use life-sustaining technologies and yuppies get wired with junk to give them a competitive edge.
