Transhumanism and Welfare: Facebook Letter

"transhumanism promises to turn the financially well-endowed into the most able among us!"
I find this perfectly acceptable. Without banksterism and regulation, wealth will be strictly aligned with reputation and productivity; people deserve the fruits of their labor, regardless of how much they exceed those of others.

"But what's an "intermediary, traditionalist and customary institution?" The church?"
Churches would be one example, but it includes families, friendly societies, and so forth.

I recommend reading the book "From Mutual Aid to the Welfare State". State 'services' simply subsidize sickness, poverty, etc. whereas the use of those funds in economic and mutual aid societies actually aleviates and provides solutions to these issues.

I also think that, without state interventionism, wealth, capital, technology and opportunities would extend to such a great extent that even mutual aid societies would become less and less necessary. Poverty is an artifact of the interventionist state and the cultural degeneration it causes. I think the welfare state is the prime reason for the iniquity of current American and European society.
