Transhumanist Theorist Calls the AI-Unenhanced ‘Useless People’
National Review ^ | 04/24/2022 | Wesley Smith

Transhumanism, boiled down to its bones, is pure eugenics. It calls itself “H+,” for more or better than human. Which, of course, is what eugenics is all about.

Alarmingly, transhumanist values are being embraced at the highest strata of society, including in Big Tech, in universities, and among the Davos crowd of globalist would-be technocrats. That being so, it is worth listening in to what they are saying under the theory that forewarned is forearmed.

Israeli philosophy professor Yuval Harari is one of the movement’s chief. He believes that AI/human hybrids are inevitably going to take over — and that those of us who refuse to join our minds with these computer programs will come to be considered a “useless class,” or even, “useless people.” From the Miami Standard story:

Harari went on to say that humanity is in the midst of a “second industrial revolution” centered around artificial intelligence. “But the product this time will not be textiles, or machines, or vehicles, or even weapons, the product this time will be humans themselves,” Harari asserted. “We are basically learning to produce bodies and minds. Bodies and minds are going to be I think the two main products of the next wave of all these changes.”

The “useless people” referenced by the WEF advisor would be those who refuse to be injected with artificial intelligence capabilities in the coming decades. Describing humans as “hackable animals”, Harari believes that “the masses” would “not stand much of a chance” against these changes even if they were to organize…

“He believes that AI/human hybrids are inevitably going to take over”

Whether they would take over is unsure, but that we will see more and more humans interconnected with “smart” machines is pretty much inevitable. It’s already here.

I myself and millions of others are already “bionic hybrids”. I have an implanted “smart” pacemaker interconnected via Bluetooth to a transmitter that via the internet can communicate with my doctor on its own. Its software can be upgraded whenever a new release comes out.

If it can be done, it will be done.

The 64k question is, will we choose wisely and will there be such a difference and division in abilities between the “adopters” and the “non adopters” that one will end up dominating the other, even wiping it out?

We’re knocking at the door of Brave New World.

Hey Tran-humanity

That’s a nice electrical supply you got there

Be a shame if something happened to it , like a sunflare.

Then you’ll be a tran-zombie.

You hit the nail on the head about sodomite Harari. He is a great religious candidate for the FP.

Maranatha!
