Activist Post
Julian Rose
Bear with me, for this may not be an easy read - but we need to crack the code of this much-discussed vainglorious chimera.
Which is not to say it doesn't exist - it does. Yet it exists as a byproduct of minds that operate in a sub human vacuum; that have severed their connection with with the normal diversity of emotions - and more particularly - with spirit and soul. Once this type of divorce is sanctioned there can only be deleterious consequences.
The current Transhumanist ethos is deeply atheistic and, as such, has no need to replace God, since it doesn't believe there is such an entity in the first place. But, ironically, it seemingly does have the need to create an all-powerful god of its own design.
Such a concept, pursued through to its conclusion, can, according to its proponents, provide some sort of final solution to the human dilemma. So we get the Transhumanist notion that the realisation of a computer that can outmaneuver the human brain will somehow produce a liberated society.
Nothing, in reality could be further from the truth. By handing over responsibility for the management of our lives to machines, we usurp our own ability to shape, alter, direct and ultimately rejoice in the art of living. Instead, we individually elect to become slaves to our own inventions.
