I would actually think that the relation to politics should
be still farther from neutral.

Religious fundamentalism, conservatism, or any strong restrictions
on personal, cultural, and technological development do not
seem to support any kind of transhumanism.
There are very few political regimes that may support any kind of
open-ended, unlimited growth. Among them, a transhumanist would
freely choose; all others, one should oppose or flee.
