The mere mention of the word “transhumanism” evokes for many people a mental picture of a tin-foil hat. Are there people who truly think that we can become something other than homo sapiens? Can we somehow self-identify outside of our species by way of technology?
And, even if we could, should we?
Surely, this is utterly preposterous, you might say. This delusion will never become mainstream. But isn’t that exactly what many said about transgenderism around a decade ago?
Major figures — some of whom have billions of dollars at their disposal — who are behind pushing transgenderism around the world are also driving many forms of body dissociation for profit, reengineering humanity itself in pursuit of such things as living forever in cyberspace.
In a way, gender ideology, the push to obliterate the material reality of sex, is itself a form of transhumanism. In this season finale, we speak with three individuals who argue that we should not overlook the unmistakable connection between the vain attempt to transcend our sex (transgenderism) and transcend our personhood (transhumanism) – and warn that one is the onramp to the other.
What might the future hold if the emerging cult of transhumanism is left unchecked? Listen in to find out more.
