You can be transhumanist (want to improve humans with technology) without all the rest of what the article is refering to. It's just conflating way too much.

I think that transhumanism (the way that you'd find on wikipedia) is a noble pursuit and what article describes is a bunch of hogwash that I'd never hear of outside of anglosphere.

I don't think it's a nitpick. Wikipedia has

>Transhumanism is a philosophical and intellectual movement that advocates the enhancement of the human condition by developing and making widely available new and future technologies that can greatly enhance longevity, cognition, and well-being

Which isn't a cult, just tech to live better etc. Making out it's something else makes the argument a bit meaningless.
