Make that substitution then (as far as I can tell, what you mean by your phrase is identical to what I meant by mine).
I think this post could do with some editing to make this clear, and "encouraging discussion" on several different specific skills and tools with a long monolithic post is unlikely to work very well. A smaller discussion post with something like (for example) "I know we know that SRS seems to work, but does anyone know anything about these other mnemotechnic techniques? <list here>" might work better.
(I probably haven't conveyed this very well, but I don't dislike most of your post (I quite like the word "acrohumanism", for example))
Yeah, that's going to be something of a problem. I'm not sure how to properly emphasize the notion of the focus on not only being the best you can be but improving the range of the "bestness" that you can have to the upper limits of what is humanly possible.
If it helps any, a different perspective would be to consider this a "pure software" approach to transhumanism.
I can hardly fault someone else for poorly conveying themselves when that's the majority of what got me in 'trouble' with this post in the first place. Thank you for the affirmation of the term, at least! :)
