This is a nonsensical non sequitur.
You imply something like: `biological natural selection does not work like
this'. So what? Who cares? We're not positing that biological natural
selection is the route to the posthuman condition. This is the 21st century
extropian list, not the 19th century Social Darwinism Fan Club. (Well, not
all the time, anyway.)
