One of the things that neuroscientists now believe is that each of us is not really an individual 'self'. We are more a collection of cells that have been deluded into thinking they are a single 'self'.

Instead we are bodies attached to brains that are like parallel processing computers.

If this is the case then we can all be hooked up so that the community as a whole can benefit from unused processing in each person's brain.

Our brains can form the ultimate cloud that will advance humanity into a Brave New future.

One makes slavery sound so desirable and enticing. Certainly these scientists believe the same about themselves, yes? Let them hook themselves up first.

Brave New Future . . . not quite . . . Brave New World.

Aldous Huxley.

On November 22nd, 1963, three famous persons died. Because the assassination death of President John F. Kennedy received so much publicity, the deaths of C.S. Lewis and Aldous Huxley on the same day received little notice.

This weird notion derives from 'new' Gnostic pagan and pantheist materialist assumptions concerning what they believe god and reality are. For them, all that exists is a void, matter, and evolutionary energies acting on matter. This view confers all power upon fallen man, thus and whatever nonsense his darkened mind, depraved conscience, and moral imbecility comes up with is reality. Thus, if materialist assumptions are true (but they are not) then men have no individual souls because they are evolving aspects (collections of cells) within a cosmic ocean of cells.

The Gnostic element of this weirdness derives from hatred of Jehovah (Yaltabaoth; the Machine in the Matrix; or aliens projecting false images of earth). In this view, the stupid demiurge Jehovah accidentally created evil physical matter (earth, bodies). Bodies in particular are evil meat machines within which 'new' pagan/pantheist man's divine spark, streaming consciousness or essence is trapped.

Trans Humanism implies that trans-man is no longer a mere human but has ascended into a higher evolved being much like an Indian god-man has. His project and great desire is to attain immortality through the merging of body with technology.

If Christians are to survive the coming darkness/madness they need to do two things: 1. Hold tight to our savior Jesus Christ, the Living Word Who created all things by the power of His Living Word and 2. Educate themselves about the worldview assumptions of 'new' pagan/pantheists.
