The blog by Mark Plus is not “anti-transhumanist” per se, but he has many posts on the failed predictions of our illustrious forebears. There’s a few examples under “paleo-futures”.

While I’m not familiar with the criticisms expressed by HP or Jennifer, I am familiar with those expressed by Dale and Wesley. Dale and Wesley are both intelligent and well educated, and I’ve enjoyed the interactions I’ve had with each. While Wesley’s comments on non-Transhumanist issues are often interesting, Dale is more familiar with Transhumanism and correspondingly offers more compelling criticisms. However, I suspect Dale spends much effort knowingly criticizing a strawman of Transhumanism.
