The Transhuman quest for genetic modification in order to change the human condition will end in total disaster. "Hacking the human body" is a myth perpetuated by academics like Yuval Noah Harari and Klaus Schwab with his Fourth Industrial Revolution narrative. Globally, however, biodefense spending is in the trillions and shows no signs of restraint.
China is arguably a modern-day Technocracy, originally groomed and taught by Zbigniew Brzezinski, a co-founder of the Trilateral Commission in 1973. When China entered the world economic stage, it was not taught principles of free market economics, but rather Technocracy, or the Commission's self-proclaimed New International Economic Order.
As I wrote in The Evil Twins of Technocracy and Transhumanism, the mechanistic view of the world, including humans, will end with the abolishment of man and not his deliverance. It is a worldview underpinned by Scientism, or the worship of science. Indeed, humanity faces the final battle.
