Answer the poll and explain why you agree or disagree.
Edit:
I disagree because I belive radical egalitarianism is a monster value that once adopted by a individual or society eventually consumes all others. I in fact value the ability of a individual or society to tower over the rest while they do so on their own strenght. If they do not embrace this because of slave morality they are a very aesthetically displeasing to my eye. However in a odd way I also find activley harming others even for one's own benefit to be equally displeasing.
I suscribe somewhat to a "morality as aesthetics" philosophy, and feel no need to change my values or tastes since picking values is arbitrary, so none are really better than others unless judged in a subjective framework. Anyway my own gut advises me against bending my knee to those who think they know what values others should have.
I am convinced that what might seem like radical inegalitarianism to most is the only way any humans can hope to impart any other values upon the transhumans who will succed us and thus I agree with the OP statment.
