Through these methods, transhumanists seek to eliminate the barriers to a perfect, and therefore can create a utopia.

I am not proposing an "elite", but rather a system that surpasses the need for an elite. "Elites" and hierarchal systems are created on the assumption that human nature is naturally malicious. The solution to this malice is to suppress human nature by relying either on a few elites to temper the malice (monarchy), by relying on the good will of everyone to overshadow the malice of a few (democracy), or some system in between.

Instead of merely suppressing human nature, transhumanism instead seeks to fundamentally alter the human condition with the intent of changing the conditions which produce the malicious acts. Elites would be undesirable to transhumanists, because they merely provide a bandaid over a severely bleeding wound. To do change the human condition, transhumanists utilize the aforementioned tools to address the human nature in novel ways.

Take greed for example. Greed, in so far as I can tell, is the product of a limited pool of resources. We are dislike the Jones family for the 75 inch TVs they own, because there is a limited pool of 75 inch TVs. Transhumanists seek to address this by creating an abundance of any desired object through the usage of nanotechnology and post-nuclear power. If you remove the limit on the pool of resources, you remove the need for envy.

Another example would be hatred. I believe that hatred is the product of miscommunication and insufficient knowledge. Groups like the Ku Klux Klan exist, in my opinion, because of an incomplete understanding of what race really means to a human being's character. Using supercomputers and artificial intelligence, transhumanists can eliminate that incomplete understanding by providing complete knowledge about what race really entails, eliminating the unknowing that causes hatred.

Finally, envy, in my opinion, is the product of natural inequalities of a human being's genetic build. We are envious of long distance runners because of their ability to do something we can not. Nanotechnology and genetic modification eliminate the need for this envy by providing these talents to everyone. When I can be just as strong, just as fast, and endure just as much as any other human being, I no longer feel the need to be envious of them.

You cannot force people to learn. Haven't you ever tried to have a discussion with an adamant YEC?

Are you saying that YEC people are idiots?

"Pittsburgh.

There is your Utopia."

hehe Shane Botwin.

Look at the movie The Village.

What are you talking about? The Village was about a society that isolated itself within a national park, and the problems it had were because the elders fabricated reality.
