On our way to transhumanism. A century from now, transhumans with AI and technology integrated into their brains and bodies may look back at Elon Musk and the Neuralink as their god and creator.

For centuries we treated technology as a tool, and now a new movement insists it is becoming the future of the human species itself. Transhumanists like Harari and Kurzweil predict the merger of humans and machines, even the rise of a “digital God.” But critics fear this proposed future, calling transhumanism "the world’s most dangerous idea”. Is the future one where technology is not merely a source of innovation but the basis for a new account of what it is to be human, or are claims of eternal life and new forms of intelligence just fanciful nonsense? Joining the debate are transhumanist pioneer Zoltan Istvan, physicist and consciousness researcher Àlex Gómez-Marín, philosopher of mind Susan Schneider, and Softmax co-founder Adam Goldstein.

Burning Man is sold as an escape from the system. But look closer: initiation rituals, loss of identity, mind-control symbolism, transhumanism, Silicon Valley and the symbolic burning of Man himself. The people building the digital future are partying in the desert with those who think they’ve escaped it. Stop being fooled. See the bigger picture and watch my full series:

“Secularists in Silicon Valley are filling the God-shaped hole in their heart with AGI.” - @ssankar “There’s not an empirical basis to believe that such a thing….The models get better. Why do you think that this cliff is gonna happen, or they somehow turn us into house cats?” “The people who have religion are the most skeptical of this. The people who are kind of transhumanists…..it becomes what they wish were true.” “The doomerism of Silicon Valley, it’s both a fundraising shtick where the frontier labs can say, ‘My technology’s so powerful, it’s going to lead to mass unemployment, so you better invest in me or you’re gonna be poor.’” “And also it’s divorced from any sort of reality. They are sitting in Silicon Valley building these models, spending no time on the front lines of how are people using this.” This was filmed 10 months ago……
