The transhuman fantasy of downloading their brains into a computer network persists no matter what evidence to the contrary is presented. Although Ray Kurzweil was the first high-profile technologist to popularize this, many other scientists have since jumped on the bandwagon. Transhumanism and Technocracy are the twin creations of Scientism.
As awareness grows, Americans are one step closer to repudiating Technocracy, but the rebellion has a long way to go. Technocrats wield enormous power over the propaganda machine, and are expert at deluding the masses with misinformation and disinformation.
Scientism is a religion started in the early 1800's by French philosopher Henri de Saint-Simon, who called for a priesthood of engineers and scientists to administrate humanity. Both Technocracy and Transhumanism have deep roots in Scientism, so it isn't surprising to see modern adherents trying to create a godhead out of Artificial Intelligence.
Ray Kurzweil is the father of Technocracy and Transhumanism and heads up engineering at Google. The Technocrat mind never believes that its invention could or would ever fail. This is a fatal flaw in their social engineering schemes.
In the past, men have worshiped rocks, wooden and carved images, the sun, the moon, animals and every conceivable thing, so why not worship an AI bot? Wired Magazine wrote "God is a bot, and Anthony Levandowski is his messenger." To Christians, this is reminiscent of Revelation 13:15.
Scientism underlies both Technocracy and Transhumanism; the latter is to humanity as the former is to society. Without scientism, neither could be explained or justified. Scientism was first clearly defined by the French philosopher, Henri De Saint-Simon.
Already heavily embedded in Technocracy, China has zero ethical problems with using technology for any conceivable advantage to its own cause. Technocracy prepares society for scientific dictatorship while Transhumanism prepares humanity to live in a Technocracy.
Forcing young children, who cannot make decisions on their own, to undergo hormone therapy for changing gender is one step removed from full-on eugenics. Technocracy and Transhumanism will always end up mored in eugenics because it is the ultimate in social engineering.
The goal of Transhumanism is to put a person's consciousness (mind and soul) into a physical cyborg to achieve immortality and super-human properties. This is now becoming a social movement that is hard to define.
Zoltan Istvan, a leading Transhuman, shows us that the economic system of Technocracy needs Transhuman citizens to make it work. This is not surprising because Transhumanism and Technocracy are two sides of the same coin.
