Of course not now, but there is no reason my deepest desires cannot
change. Not likely, but still a possibility - there are plenty of
examples in history of people who have changed profoundly for more or
less good reasons.
As a transhumanist, I prefer to think of myself as a continuing
process, not as a static object.
