This strikes me as one of the most absurd examples of left-leaning (?) criticism of healthy accelerationism/progress. The bundle of beliefs and practices they describe is basically the most utopian thing imaginable - using advanced technology to improve health, well-being, scientific understanding, minimizing scarcity, SPAAACE, even reducing natural human viciousness - and yet they find some way to paint it as discriminatory or oppressive.
Anyways this post here is just to provide an interesting case study and stimulate discussion about what causes people to end up with these regressive attitudes - it seems like lingering anxiety over eugenics-style practices is the only somewhat reasonable motivation I can fathom.
