Help me make transhumanism part of a university course!
A course I am taking in university as my elective is called technology and social change and for our final exam we are asked to write an essay on a topic related to all the material which we have learned that the professor will also consider making an addition to the course. I will be writing about transhumanism and grinding as a small step forward but wanted to get your opinion on which points you all feel I should cover to make this as likely as possible to be added to my course.

Very cool that you are writing your paper on transhumanism and grinding. Am I correct in understanding that your professor is going to consider making a class based off your final paper, or just a module in the class your taking?

just an additional module in the class i am taking, we concluded the course on the topic of posthuman. we don't talk about transhumanism or grinding though so i proposed it to him as a logical add-on and he said to write about it for my final and if it's well done he will add it to the course

Powerpoint on Transhumanism

(Yeah I know this looks like a crap site, it was the first one I found to upload and send a file quickly blame the RIAA)
Said PowerPoint being presented:

One of the biggest points I would make is just how much transhumanism is in modern culture. Almost every tv show and movie features transhumanist elements in some fashion.
Hope it helps!
