** Humanity desperately tries to improve itself, but because of its imperfect nature, [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans all attempts at doing so also turn out flawed and create more problems than they solve]]. They're forced to accept fundamental modification by aliens who know what they're doing in order to [[InYourNatureToDestroyYourselves survive]].

Added DiffLines:

** Aliens are flawed too, [[BlueAndOrangeMorality just in different ways]], and humans [[FlawExploitation take advantage of this]] to defend themselves against oppression, remaining free to back up their words by actually improving.

Added DiffLines:

* '''Reconstructed''':
** Humans acknowledge their flaws, but instead of embracing them as [[AppealToInherentNature good or inevitable]], use this knowledge to overcome them as much as they can because they also have capacity for goodness. Even if PerfectionIsImpossible since people disagree on what it entails (as well as whether [[BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood forcibly altering people's minds]] would be unethical hence imperfect in itself), significant improvement in ethics and overall quality of life is an attainable goal.

* '''Deconstructed''': Because of the fact that humans see flaws as inherently natural, then according to them, they see [[AppealToNature flaws as good because they're natural]], and if [[{{Transhuman}} improving the flawed human condition through science and technology]] is "unnatural", then by their logic, that means scientific/technological enhancements over the flawed human condition is considered [[ScienceIsBad evil and must be stopped]]. [[FromBadToWorse The result]]: [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome humanity suffers from scientific and technological stagnation, people suffer even more than before, and humans as a whole become even more barbaric and idiotic.]] Unless someone is smart and morally decent to unfuck the human condition, humanity as a whole will doom itself for embracing its flawed nature rather than changing it for the better.
