Transhumanism has a rational basis, but it also requires a strong
imaginative ability to shift perspective away from internal concerns to
discuss the broad scope of human evolution into posthumanity. I would
expect to find a lot of persons who combine both rational and creative
aspects.

All that has been illustrated (not yet proven) by this data is that NT
types tend to congregate on internet listserves. That might actually
have some implications for issues related to computer mediated
communication, but I don't know if that necessarily relates to transhumanism.
