Simmons: He was asked to step down a month before for conducting irregular experiments. Lincoln: “Irregular” meaning...? Fitz:(grimly) He’s a rumored transhumanist. Coulson(who previously collected a set of trading cards commemorating, and later worked with, a man who was biologically augmented in the 1940s; worked with and against various members of an alien civilization whose advanced magic/technology allows them to live for thousands of years; ran, tried to have shut down, and later had his life saved by an advanced research project dedicated to reviving the clinically dead; fought a Hydra faction led by a man who’d uploaded his mind to a bank of computers in the 1970s; worked closely with a biologically and technologically upgraded cyborg; and has a prosthetic arm with super strength among its features)**: A what?
Simmons: People who believe in using science and technology to transcend our biological limitations. Their goal is…
Lincoln: Become more than human. Timely.
Fitz: Digital immortality, superintelligence…
Coulson:** Okay. I’m glad everyone knows what it is.
(The episode goes on to portray “transhumanists” as sexy, stylish young people who meet in secret clubs to exchange illegal(?) enhancements. The biologist appears to enthusiastically join a villain who wants to end conflict by converting the world into his mind slaves.)
