I am always eagerly looking for serious criticism of transhumanism and
Singularitarianism.
Unfortunately this, like some other items I have seen, is in the mode of
political trash-talk rather than serious analysis.
I'd say either to ignore them, or to write serious expositions of your
position on some other forum (preferably one with a wide audience), and
without explicit reference to their nonsense.
