I used to be a transhumanist, the idea of having a robot body was so cool to me. But that was before the internet of things. Now I know, there will be no offline transhumanism. There will only be internet connected transhumanism. If you want a robot body, you will need to connect your brain to an online network that will read your thoughts and brainwash you.
I didn't talk about how far I see this getting or how it might fail, but this is one of its problems. If it takes this form, then your disembodied self would be more inhibited than ever before. Since the biggest push for this comes from oligarchs, there is little reason to think they would leave the rest of us free.
