Transhuman Expansion, Let's Make Noise

As I stated in my last post, Transhumanism is being introduced gradually, quietly, unobtrusively.  Supposedly, their methods seek to "Solicit offensive and counterproductive portrayals of longevity, human enhancement and emerging technologies, and encourage our membership, chapters and allies to dialogue with the authors, producers and distributors."(humanityplus.org/projects/goals/)  Does this seem counterproductive to anyone?  That's like trying to argue with a Republican Christian  about funding for stem cell research.  In church.
Detractors of Transhumanism will tend to be some of the most vociferous and close minded people in our country.  As our greatest number of constituents will be Democrats, who are now touting themselves as Progressives, the country will be somewhat against accepting many, if not most, of the ideas presented by transhumanists.  Since a building block of Progressivism is the raising up of logic over irrational decision-making, science is indelibly associated with the movement.
In our country, T.H. will be associated with eugenics due to a wanna-be demagogue on FOX.  This blowhard dedicated multiple episodes to the Progressive movement, or against it, in this case.  Since Transhumanism will definitely be identified with the Progressive movement, and as good ole Glenn Beck tied Progressives to everything from Fascism to Communism(If I remember correctly, the world's most important fascist and the world's biggest communist didn't even get along all too well), Transhumannism WILL be demonized, no matter how we present it, or how hard we try to get people to understand what it is all about.
Since the very people that will need to be convinced about the promising advances of TH are the same ones that misinterpret their own beliefs, we face a grave challenge.  These people follow the things that are thrust in their face, and in fact, practice a creed that demanded you be killed or ostracized if one did not follow their way of belief.  It was that way for fifteen hundred years.
We will have to realize the fact that the only way to communicate effectively in today's world is SHOCK FACTOR.  If we can make everyone hate us for an hour, they will remember us forever.  We then sulk into the shadows to lick our wounds, and go about business as usual.  Then, when we figure out that the only true way to "cure" cancer lies in genetic manipulation, or we are attacked by extraterrestrials(unlikely as that seems) as great minds from Stephen Hawking to Enrico Fermi agree is increasingly likely as the days go by,  we roll out our answers to the dilemma at hand.  Sorry, but prayer and rhetoric do not have noticeable effects on the outcomes of either war or medical issues.
We are currently the guy at the back of the class.  The quiet one that no one pays much attention to.  Time to make some noise.
