Transhumanism by non-technical means is a common religious goal;
indeed, it rather predates (and possibly indirectly inspired) notions
of transcending via technology. Persons with that historical
perspective might with equal justice say that there is a perverted
form of religion buried somewhere in the Extropian philosophy.
What is uncommon here most notably includes the attempt to achieve
non-technical transhumanism by ritual mass suicide.
