Transhuman is the merging of human with machine or bioengineering to be more than human.

The goal of transhumanism is:
A. biological immortality via cloning/upgrade to android
OR
B. merging with the machine mind and being a computer program

They envision a singularity where the artificial intelligence(s) become all knowing, all seeing, all powerful - i.e., God.

And the trans-humanists worship it, assuming the artificial intelligence will be good for humanity, protective of it, tell us all what to do, and we should all have to obey it for the sake of humanity.

In short, it replaces God with technology, down to an omniscient and benevolent AI in place of a deity and digital heaven with your uploaded mind as an afterlife.

It gets even more tragic when these same people react to concerns by calling people backward Luddites, ignoring the fact that drones already used to kill people are more likely to lead to a Terminator scenario, though per someone’s orders.
Or that you’ll see an AI use the “quality of life years” equations to tell the old and undesirable to go home and die because its algorithm says you aren’t worth receiving medical care. And doctors relying or forced to defer to it won’t have a say when its says, “Nope, do nothing”, in essence sentenced to death to save money. God help us when an AI says the cost effective solution to a pandemic is to round up and kill the infected.
