I know what transhumanism is, but people who are not, for example, academics in a related field calling themselves a transhumanist makes no sense to me. Like, as a transhumanist, what do you do?

Are these people just identity-hungry fans of a genre of sci-fi? Are they saying we shouldn't work to solve societal problems because technology will do it for us? Do they just watch a lot of youtube videos about it?

    Thanks transshork-happy

    Though after reading a bit the emancipatory aspects and traditions of the term are in the English speaking wikipedia pretty much completely removed. In which pretty much only capitalist and tech bubble spoils are left over.
