Pure cultural capitalism. Also Christianity for atheists, which is the same thing, as capitalism is Christianity in economic form.

It's not gone far enough.
Yet.

It has. The internet is a supercomputer made out of billions of human minds massively interconnected, their powers of informational manipulation taken to cyborg-superhuman heights via the devices they use. Think of the realm of human consciousness and ideas as a purely informational system, and analogize from there for great insight.
If you learn how to access and manipulate this system properly, you can join us in liberating humanity. All you need to do is ask yourself how, and follow from there, and if you are capable you will find what you need, because it is there.

No actually on that front they're actually holding themselves back pretty severely. The internet is a nice toy, but it can't bring about real social change on its own. You still have to do work outside of the system for it to mean anything, and on that front they haven't done nearly enough.

pretty neat movement imho, would join.
Transhumanism is a good thing on the basis that it allows human beings to surpass their intended limitations and restraints and live their lives "enhanced." Which is one reason I like seeing it coming along.
However on the same token, primarily because we live in a world where such excruciating behavior is acceptable, these "enhancements" would come with the hefty price of reducing you to a commercial product rather than a human being. You become the trademark, and they can just walk all over you without your consent.
Hell, depending on how far we take it, they could make it so you'd never be able to disagree, question, or even notice it.
