I'm a technologist.
Technology is just a tool like a hammer, though; a means to an end but not the end. This makes the word technologist, transhumanist, and all derivatives like that kind of like saying you're a stapler. It's not hard to make the argument humans have no purpose (nihilism), but if you think the opposite, there's definitely not going to be any purpose found in being a stapler.
Very well said. As you know I am a fan of the non stapler theory of life.
Anyone who speaks in terms of an "end" goal is ignorant of the fact that the Universe must be relativistic and without a definable end goal, lest we wouldn't exist in any sense other than a prescripted recording. I've explained why numerous times in my archives.
A technologist is always furthering the maximum division-of-labor which is entirely consistent with the fundamental law of thermodynamics which states that entropy (inexorably) trends to maximum.
There's no one goal. We're all working on slightly different goals. Some may share some like-mindedness.
@CoinCube, I disagree with the claim that top-down morass is a requirement for, or even a provably more, long-term competitive strategy. Go ahead and tie all your shoelaces together with your brethren.
