"Intriguing" interview with Larry Page from the last few days: http://www.slate.fr/life/72497/pdg-goog ... creer-pays
(...)
To recap, Larry Page criticized Microsoft for treating Google like a rival, attacked Oracle for paying too much attention to money, and ultimately complained that everyone is too negative.
Heck then, if all these companies weren't obstructing it, Google probably would have already solved world hunger. Finally, if there were not all these laws, these bureaucrats and these journalists on their way too.
Fortunately, Larry Page had an idea.
What if Google built its own country with its own rules and did what it wanted for everyone? He said, thoughtfully:
"Perhaps we could set aside part of the world. I like to go to Burning Man. As a technologist, I think we may need some safe places where we can try new things without having to deploy them to the world. ”
(As The Verge noted, "Larry wants a beta country, guys!")

Well if we refer to the definition of wiki: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhumanisme
However Google is a main player in internet technology which on the contrary makes people more cons ...
Me gee me?
Transhumanism is an international cultural and intellectual movement advocating the use science and technology to improve physical characteristics and mental human being.

No, you're right, except that you have to understand that transhumanism is a project aimed precisely at making people totally dependent on the system, the definition that you put above is just there to catch boobs.
It seems to me that according to Monsanto, the goal of GMOs is to stop world hunger ... we see the result!
In reality transhumanism is the culmination of the totalitarian market ideology: build beings in the image of the system and for the system.
This project aims at the realization of the Man increased, it comes from the Promethean cult.
It is crazy to see that in the 21st century the elites are still as greedy for phantasmagoria.
It is not impossible that the Google empire one day creates a state led by computer laws and allow the development of its scientist delusions.

In this case ok: we replace human intelligence with technology ... and therefore serious dependence since without it, humans will eventually become idiots ...
But it is not exactly the same definition as that of wiki ... which talks about improving and not replacing !!

Yes, but as mentioned above, there is gibberish, promises, and there are facts.
We must get to the bottom of the problem: why want to improve the human ???
Disciplines have existed since the dawn of time, often qualified as spiritual, which aim at this, but it seems to me that in the case of transhumanism it is not an initiatory journey aimed at attaining enlightenment, but rather at develop a juicy business!
