*There are no \\\"transhuman space marines\\\" because avatars cost $5 billion, and the RDA is a business conglomerate.
*Humans are prospering from WHAT accomplishments? Earth is a crapsack world with severely limited food/water supplies, a nonexistent biosphere, overpopulation, nuclear terrorism, and more. If anything, only the RDA are prospering (read: getting really rich).
*Mind uploads (human -> avatar) aren\\\'t permanent. You destroy the original body, the mind dies. Soul transfers (Pandora-exclusive, not accessible to the RDA) can be used for physical immortality, assuming you\\\'re gonna shell out billions of dollars every six decades for a new body. And along the way, you might go insane.
To reiterate: if we\\\'re going to continue, this should go into the main JBM page. And some of your rants have already been covered, so...[[SoYeah yeah]].
