I'd guess I would call that anarcho-individualism but the poll didn't allow for more options. It's a possibility though. IDK if it is sustainable but it is a possibility for sure.

I agree with the "you will be the AI" option and picked it; it's just that I dislike the term "transhumanism", but people will merge with AI in order to enhance the neocortex and that's a future that I can't wait to experience.

Other than just not liking how it sounds, when people transcend come the singularity, they won't call themselves "transhumanists"; there will be qualitatively new things (including new forms of language and communication).

Do you mean like we won’t be humans anymore?

I suppose it will be tough to classify us as a species in the future for sure. Some people will be uploaded into the cloud, some people may remain biological meatbags.
