Редактирование: Criticism of transhumanism (раздел)

== Disbelief in a particular technology or timescale ==
''Main: [[The Singularity]]''

Some critics claim that a particular technology (e.g. [[mind uploading]], [[AGI]]) is very unlikely to be achieved in a given timescale (e.g. by the year 2043) and therefore transhumanism must be discredited. These critics have observed prominent transhumanists seemingly speaking overconfidently about particular technological breakthroughs happening by particular future dates ([[Reviews of predictions]] lists some examples).

Note, however, that
* None of the [[Transhumanism definitions|standard definitions of transhumanism]] take for granted any particular attitude towards any particular technology, e.g. mind uploading, [[cryonics]], or artificial general intelligence
* None of these definitions presuppose any given timescale for future developments to take place.

Any such criticisms, therefore, are criticisms of particular views of particular transhumanists, rather than a criticism of transhumanism itself.
