Le médicament augmenté : l’usage du médicament dans les discours transhumanistes et ses significations sociales
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Though NBICs and their overlap are at the heart of transhumanist claims in favour of human enhancement, medication also occupies a central place. In many of the movement's writings and lectures, it is one of the primary means systematically considered to extend human biological boundaries and improve physical, intellectual and emotional performance. Taking a sociological perspective, this article aims to explore the role and meaning medication holds in transhumanist discourse. Declared the tool for true human emancipation, the non-therapeutic use of medication for which transhumanists advocate is actually carried out against a heightened biomedicalization of many contemporary social issues. After having explored this ambivalence, our article demonstrates that, hardly specific to this fringe movement, transhumanists' aspirations of pharmacologically reaching ?better than well? fits more broadly into contemporary biomedical pretentions, of which transhumanism is just one extreme example.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
