Gnostic Insight on AI and Racist Supremacy

by John Lamb Lash

Wikipedia defines transhumanism as “an international and intellectual movement that aims to transform the human condition by developing and creating widely available technologies to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities.” Transhumanism proposes to take the human race beyond its current physical and mental limitations, even its mortal status, and literally transcend the natural conditions of physical existence.

What are we talking here? A wild-eyed sci-fi fantasy? Delusion of grandiosity? Impossible theoretical proposal? Transhumanism may be all of that, but it also a serious, well-funded project in progress. This project asserts a claim about what can be done to modify and improve the human species (or certain select members of it), the drive to do so, and the demand that doing so must proceed without debate, dissent, protest, or contravention. It insists with militant zeal on doing what it claims can be done. At its utmost, the transhumanist program intends to perfect human life through the technology of prosthetics, genomics, and AI, artificial intelligence. It seeks to release human consciousness from the natural conditions where it emerges. One of its leading propnents, Ray Kurzweil, even proposes immortality in an inorganic matrix, achieved by uploading both the mind and memory of the mortal person into a cybernetic Otherworld.

In short, transhumanism is the cybernetic wet dream par excellance.
