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…

We may be useless…but at least we’re not Sodomites. Oh…and our God is bigger than your god!

This guy, and his movement, is a great candidate for the Second Beast of Revelation 13.

Tran-humanity will be wiped out by some carelessly written malware.

Rather ironic hearing a Jew talk about classes of people being described as useless eaters.

Perhaps his final solution to such a problem might be to engage IG Farben for a room air conditioner.

How ironic an Israeli Jew describing a whole catagory of fellow human beings as “useless”...

In a sane world we would never see or hear from this guy or anyone else who talks like him ever again.

It’s a toss-up in creepiness between this guy and Klaus Schwab.

But I’ll give the race to Harari in a photo finish. God save us from these lunatics!

Problem solved.

Just identify as a Cray supercomputer. Then they can't eliminate you. LOL

Romans 2:28 For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. 29 But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.

Rev 3:9 Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you

Ah the good old days.

Amdahl mainframes, IBM 30xx, Dec Vax 11-780/785.

Marine Corps had an Amdahl BY, D7, V7.

Can’t remember the specific model. I did a bit of Natural pulling data from it. Still get a hit on my resume for it from time-to-time.

I haven’t touched it since Reagan was a president, though.

I’m a newbie by your standards. LOL When Reagan was president I was writing BASIC code on a Commodore 64 before I was old enough to drive.

It might seem off topic, but right now there is lots of talk about putting humans in space. Space, however, is brutal on human physiology. Answer? Genetically or technologically alter humans to be space-compatible.

They're already using the disabled as an excuse for invasive technological enhancements. But if conquering the galaxy is our supposed destiny then we all need to "transman up", get with the program, and get our updates.

Had a TI-100(?) But my parents took it back at my request and got me a Commodore 16.

I used it to log into the Vax 11/780 at the university.

Sold it and got one of them high power Commodore 64 - still have it I think and original box.

Me too, but I was using my math teacher's TRS-80.

You are writing on a computer. A computer is artificial intelligence. You are already AI-enhanced.

I think that part of the push for transgender rights is from these transhumanists. At some point they see us transitioning beyond sex, race, gender, etc.

What would we call something that could change its skin color with the flick of a few neurons, and has one hundred tentacles and ports of various dimensions some of which are purposed as sex organs?
