Malthus believed in the Christian god, and was in some ways the opposite of a transhumanist -- but not entirely. He is remembered falsely by history. Next time you encounter someone with an opinion of Malthus, make sure they've actually read his essay. This is a gorgeous little passage, only slightly relevant to the main idea, but unexpectedly moving.
