The overwhelming majority of humans do, in fact, want to be human, much to the annoyance of the transhumanist minority.

No, they say they want to be human. Few have ever actually tried to reach their reflective equilibrium. Most of them have such a confused worldmodel that they have preferences over equivalent ("identical") instantiating themselves, in contravention of the best known human physics!

Once cannot hope to claim reflective equilibrium when acting on such a severe error.
