The world is edging closer to the singularity - the merging of man and machine. This is the movement from Homo Sapiens to what some call 'Homo Optimus'.
As first coined by Julian Huxley, 'Transhumanism' or posthumanism is broadly related to the merger of flesh and metal - the final frontier for man to tame, besides the cosmos, is his own biology - the 'human domain'. While the name is new, the idea has long been around as a popular theme of science fiction, featured in such films as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, the Terminator series, and more recently, The Matrix, Avatar, Limitless, Her and Transcendence.
The best way to predict the future is to create it. This is a plan and timeline long in the making.
This technology is being presented to us as the possibility of human biological diversity reaching the point of a final absolute 'equality', almost to Biblical proportions - it has Freemasonic ambition written all over it. That man is his own God and creator - and that he might sit in the seat of the temple of God and rule (the human body).
But what are the risks of this kind of technology - the loss of humanity itself as a distinct organic product of evolution?
There is a clear risk that this technology will be abused in a technocracy - further widening the rift between the elites and the rest of the human population, and firmly establishing a divergent classification of humans.
As whites are made to decline and colored populations are deliberately assisted - the possibly immortalized eugenic moneyed class will no doubt afford the adaptations that give them a hundredfold advantage over the typical dysgenic colored person that serves as a hybridized silicone-based slave class. The technology that does reach the average person will be marketed favorably, but will only serve to indenture further servitude.
Professor Stephen Hawking a few years before his passing - warned in light of the 2014 film 'Transcendence', that the rise of this wave of human-replacing technologies 'could be the worst thing to happen to humanity'.
'Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history,' he said writing in the Independent. 'Unfortunately, it might also be the last'.
'Although we are facing potentially the best or worst thing to happen to humanity in history, little serious research is devoted to these issues.'
'All of us should ask ourselves what we can do now to improve the chances of reaping the benefits and avoiding the risks.'
Even Elon Musk is allegedly wary of A.I.
He told an audience at MIT that 'we should be very careful about Artificial Intelligence,' warning it may be 'our biggest existential threat [...] with Artificial Intelligence, we are summoning the demon.'
Here's a quote from transhuman tech proponent Ray Kurzweil’s book 'The Age of Spiritual Machines', wherein he finds himself 'most troubled' by this passage —
“The New Luddite Challenge…
“On the other hand it is possible that human control over the machines may be retained. In that case the average man may have control over certain private machines of his own, such as his car or his personal computer, but control over large systems of machines will be in the hands of a tiny elite — just as it is today, but with two differences.
“Due to improved techniques the elite will have greater control over the masses; and because human work will no longer be necessary the masses will be superfluous, a useless burden on the system. If the elite is ruthless they may simply decide to exterminate the mass of humanity. If they are humane they may use propaganda or other psychological or biological techniques to reduce the birth rate until the mass of humanity becomes extinct, leaving the world to the elite.’
“In the book, you don’t discover until you turn the page that the author of this passage is Theodore Kaczynski – the Unabomber.”
Another insight can be seen in 'The Meaning of Masonry', by W.L. Wilmshurst:
"This — the evolution of man into superman — was always the purpose of the ancient Mysteries, and the real purpose of modern Masonry is, not the social and charitable purposes to which so much attention is paid, but the expediting of the spiritual evolution of those who aspire to perfect their own nature and transform it into a more god-like quality. And this is a definite science, a royal art, which it is possible for each of us to put into practice, whilst to join the Craft for any other purpose than to study and pursue this science is to misunderstand its meaning."The ambition of transhumanism
For aeons natural selection has slowly produced new species. From time to time breakthroughs have occurred: photosynthesis, sexual reproduction, multicellularity and the nervous system have increased the tempo of evolution and the diversity of life in sudden jumps. A few million years back parents began to pass on their experiences to their young, and knowledge began to accumulate from generation to generation not just in the genes. A few hundred thousand years ago our ancestors developed language, and knowledge could spread fast and efficiently between all members of a tribe. Memes, the knowledge that is transmitted from individual to individual, began to control humans rather than the genes. A few thousand years ago writing was invented, and knowledge could be stored and recalled millennia after the death of its author. And evolution is still accelerating.
The goal of transhumanism is to make humanity grow to its supposed full potential. We would no longer be bound by biological evolution and the consequences of its diversity - we can choose our own path: the era of autoevolution has begun. The responsibility of our development is now ours alone, we can choose what we want to become and how we want to become it.
The year 2050 seems to be the point when technological advancements will allow us to merge our biological bodies with computers. Earlier formative technology in this field may start taking hold from 2030 onwards, or even earlier.
Near future:
- Life extension methods (control of telomerases + anti-cancer drugs).
- Genetic improvements.
- Bionic implants.
- Weak AI (software agents) integrated with "enhanced reality".
- Nanotechnology
- Fully developed exoselves gradually leading towards partial or total uploading.
- Using nanotechnology and advanced genetics, halting of aging becomes possible.
- Total uploading and mental restructuring possible.
- Integration human-AI.
- Distributed intelligence.
- Corporate intelligences.
- Technological singularity.
It would be safe to assume a larger push for the public to socially accept transhumanism will emerge soon closer to the rollout of consumer level tech. This is seen already in 2011's cyberpunk Deus Ex: Human Revolution videogame, with the 'aug', short for augmentation - being a target for discrimination from those who weren't technologically altered.
From science fiction to science fact.
As seen in many recent headlining motion picture productions, trans-humanism has been engineered into public acceptance very gradually - and just now has Elon Musk pushed the first serious proposal to merge man and machine into the public eye.
A dark necessity?
Health benefits will be touted including the CRISPR gene editing software that will supposedly eliminate all hereditary diseases - along with other various incentives that will likely accompany being 'augmented'.
With the rise of 5G, this technology will coincide with 'smart' cities, RFID chips, and a whole host of related 'smart' technologies for it to interface with. The convenience of this technology will no doubt be immense.
Because of this, the temptation to get augmented will be impossible to resist, or made extremely difficult - as leading tech monopolies will rapidly - and deliberately - shape a world where it is completely necessary to have. These adaptations will give rise to humans that are more resilient, optimized and continually monitored.
Those without these adaptations may struggle to compete with the 'superhumans' that have submitted to the surveillance system that accompanies these implants and modifications.
Job opportunities also may not favour the unaltered. The incentives and pressures to transition will be numerous, manufactured or otherwise.
Trans ideology is a precursor to transhuman augmentation
The trans/LGBT movement is a natural precursor to getting people ready for this technology.
To not identify with any established morphology or gender is to become open enough to accept the eventual total technological augmentation of the human body. Sexual dimophism and Cartesian mind-body dualism are the key ideological tools at play - designed to remove agency from the human body, instead granting it entirely to the mind.
This propaganda is designed to make us lose grasp and attachment to our natural form to a level where we will not resist that image being taken away. The race relations movement also feeds into this, when people lose their racial consciousness - they will hand themselves over to any well-marketed alternative to the type of human they have been taught to resent.
As the reciprocal advanced 'smart' infrastructure develops around us, as well as in us and on us, it's clear to see that soon it will become nearly impossible to escape the high-tech prison of the technocracy. Off-grid living will be a thing of the past.
The designed decline of whites and the designed importation of a colored population will ensure that this kind of totalitarianism gets voted in as a Trojan horse. Gullible low IQ populations are susceptible to this kind of manipulation.
The 'world brain': evolutionary cybernetics
Heylighen and Bollen were the first to propose algorithms that could turn the world-wide web into a self-organizing, learning network that exhibits collective intelligence, or a Global brain, in effect - a human hive mind. Reviewing the trends of intellectual history that contributed to the global brain hypothesis, Heylighen distinguished four perspectives, which he suggested were now converging in his own scientific re-formulation: “organicism”, “encyclopedism”, “emergentism” and “evolutionary cybernetics.”
Emergentism refers to Teilhard De Chardin’s theory. Encyclopedism begins with the French Encyclopedie, a Masonic project of the Enlightenment, the first systematic attempt to create an integrated system of the world’s knowledge. H.G. Wells proposed the similar idea of a collaboratively developed world encyclopedia, which he called a World Brain, as it would function as a continuously updated memory for the planet. And, organicism begins with social Darwinist Herbert Spencer, who saw society as a social organism. But the mental aspects of such an organic system at the planetary level was first elaborated by Teilhard de Chardin in his concept of the Noosphere, or global mind.
Last, is evolutionary cybernetics, which proposes the emergence of a higher order system in evolutionary development, as a “metasystem transition” or a “major evolutionary transition.” Such a metasystem consists of a group of subsystems that work together in a coordinated, goal-directed manner more powerful and intelligent than its constituent systems. Heylighen argues that the global brain is such a metasystem with respect to the level of individual human intelligence, and investigated the specific evolutionary mechanisms that promote this transition. According to this scenario, the Internet fulfills the role of the network of “nerves” that interconnect the subsystems and thus coordinates their activity. The cybernetic approach makes it possible to develop mathematical models and simulations of the processes of self-organization, through which such coordination and collective intelligence emerges.
In the Roots of Radical Theology, John Charles Cooper says that Teilhard de Chardin, “taught that the god to be worshipped is the one who will arise out of the evolving human race.” Similarly, as explained by Heylighen in The Global Brain as a New Utopia, this global mind will serve as a new God - the New Age God of Masonry - Lucifer.
