You realize that with that argument anything anyone in that group says or does will always be proof that they actually are transhumanists even if they say they aren't? Do you know what a kafka trap is?The transhumanists are, as always, liars.
Who said anything about nukes? Nukes are messy and deny resources: more likely they'd use plagues and political instability.
Oh wait.
So do the plagues and political instability or did you miss the part where most of the world's economy is in the tank because of the lockdowns causing places to go bankrupt or the riots in the US burning down everything they could get their hands on. And the latter is still relatively mild as far as instability of that sort goes, the upper scale for that tends to go to shootings and bombings followed by civil war if you're really unlucky. Not exactly good for the "not deny resources" plan.
So the plan is to somehow take over the world to make humans not human anymore even though if you offered it for cash you could get most of them to take you up on the offer anyway?The transhumanists are ultimately powerful terrorists: they don't wish to sell their technology because they know it would give their enemies tools to help resist them.
