In before "...but that's why we need anarcho-transhumanism".

Made me think too: how the hell is a robotic leadership going to provide us meaningful global change? A certain large sect of voters arent going to trust robots and another large sect of voters will feel threatened by a robotic leadership and do what they can to stop it. Will it lead to a robot-led insurrection leading to a worldwide robot vs human civil war? Or more likely, the robots will be programmed to help the capitalists that created them and under critisism say they are "programmed to help humankind ."

The last part of the essay about the nerds desiring transhumanism because they arent comfortable in their skin makes me think of a meme about the nerd and his high school crush but the nerd has rocket blaster arms and a half robot face and robotic legs sponsered by DARPA yelling "I am the alpha! I am the pinnicle of humananity!"

People that want to be ruled by robots because they think they'd make more efficient rulers are peak bootlickers.
