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.
Scientism is a religion that is at the base of both Technocracy and Transhumanism. It elevates science and the Scientific Method to a level of godhood where the scientists and engineers are the priesthood.
Makukov and Fesenkov are regurgitating a story line that originated with a French cult leader, Claude Vorihon, who changed his name to Raël in 1974 after claiming to have been 'visited' by aliens. Sociologists classify Raelianism as a UFO religion with worshipful followers on several continents.
Musk fears that AI will turn him into a house cat, so he says we must merge it into our brain via 'neural lace' or other implant. Musk is a poster-child for Technocracy and Transhumanism.
Transhumanism is to individuals what Technocracy is to society: The application of science to transform humanity. Transhumans believe science will eventually make them immortal and omniscient, so they line up to have their heads frozen when they die the first time.
Transhumans believe they will escape the laws of sin and death, ultimately merging with machines and computers to live forever. Musk's plan is an attempt to co-opt Artificial Intelligence by merging with it and to avoid being destroyed by it.
Robert Murray is the CEO of Murray Energy Corp., the largest private coal mining company in America. He was interviewed on CNBC (live TV) and nailed Elon Musk and his Tesla Motors for taking $2 billion in green energy subsidies from the government while failing to turn a profit since inception. In fact, Musk is a Technocrat pursuing Technocracy, Transhumanism and colonizing Mars, and doing it all with taxpayer money. Musk has since struck back on Twitter by saying, "Real fraud going on is denial of climate science." Such is the mind of a Technocrat.
Zoltan is a leading Transhumanist and is running for president on the Transhumanist Party ticket. He writes in favor of robotic development.
Transhumanism is the siamese twin of Technocracy. Both believe that science can solve all problems. Technocracy is the science of social engineering. Transhumanism is the science of human engineering.
