Also: please don't psychoanalysis me. I'm arguing this because I am concerned with what's true. Similarly, I don't "identify as" a transhumanist, I am one because I think the ideas and goals of transhumanism are correct.

The two aren't that connected. Ispent a decade or so writing about and against modern fascism, and yet had a blistering row with a Prof on twitter because what he was writing about fascism was deeply ignorant (and dangerously so).
