You ask how much we would have in common with someone from post-Singularity Earth. This is a parameter which we want to influence. Transhumanism does not espouse the suicidal view that we should replace ourselves with whatever "more advanced" life form we might be able to create. The idea, rather, is that humanity can develop to new levels.

Whatever it is we value about humanity should be preserved, cultivated, and expanded.
