A transhumanist future for only those who can afford it is not a future worth having. Handling the problems of the rich has to take a back seat to handling the problems of humanity. Any technological lifestyle improvement that isn't aiming to become affordable and accessible is missing the mark.

"[T]here’s a quite disappointing current in non-anarchist transhumanist circles that focuses on the development of artificial intelligence rather than the liberation and empowerment of the billions of minds already on this planet. If we want an explosion of intelligence then the surer and quicker path would be to liberate and empower all the potential Einsteins currently trapped in slums, favelas, open mines and fields around the world." -
