That sounds like an interesting idea. I think transhumanist philosophy or life philosophy is not in a very good place right now and could be improved a lot. It’s cold and dry, and not very fun or beautiful. Some transhumanists come off as creepy, like the villains in James Bond movies.
A lot of transhumanist thought is not very diverse. For example, there aren’t enough perspectives from women. The transhumanist movement or community has historically been very slanted towards libertarianism and hasn’t had a lot of political diversity. If transhumanism is supposed to be a philosophy that can speak to human beings universally, this is too narrow, and it will only end up appealing to a small minority of people.
I think the sort of transhumanist philosophy we need is somewhere between typical academic philosophy, memoir/​personal essay, and art. It needs to be beautiful. It needs to fun, or at least more fun that the transhumanist philosophy of the past.
I think it also needs to be more open to emotions, to women and the diversity of humanity, and to a bigger range of political perspectives.

Anyway, just my two cents.
