I’m not sure this magazine means it ironically but the graphic is funny nonetheless.
Via zinc, who posted it in the comments and I had to front page it.

Yeah, the transhuman crowd doesn’t do irony.
I attended the Transhumanism conference at Irvine in Dec 2009 - the highlight of which was meeting the delightful R. U. Sirius (now there’s some irony, in that great moniker, and in his fun-filled career, some of which is referenced in Fred Turner’s Counterculture to Cyberculture). Many books to be written here. I recently met Abou from CUNY working on a dissertation project that dissects various technological utopian histories - and he has a section on WTA, world transhumanist association. Greg Benford runs a related group, I believe. (he’s a physics prof at UCI - speaking this Friday at the Philip K Dick event)
