Possible Reactions to a Transhumanist Malthusian

Possible reactions to a transhumanist Malthusian:

• Incredulous stare.
• You cannot use the Ring!
• Wouldn't potential transhumans be able to solve a trivial little problem like providing enough food?
• Transhumanist Malthusian? Is that anything like a square circle?
• This is the sort of thing that gives transhumanists a bad name.
• I have suggested that transhumanists and bioconservatives bury the hatchet … in their common enemy, the Malthusians. Transhumanist Malthusians might interfere with that.
• A transhumanist Malthusian is a technical optimist until he/she/whatever realizes that means agreeing with some conservatives.
