Description

The transhumanists, who also identify themselves as human gods (Homo Dei), claim that our species, Homo Sapiens, has reached its limits and there is no point in waiting for it to evolve further through natural selection. They say they have the "God-given" right, as well as the means, to evolve it and will do so, whether we like it or not. Besides having the means, they also have a political party that intends to replace politicians in all countries with "upgraded" managers from the largest tech giants, with an IQ over 500. They openly threaten that through algorithms, digital and robotic might, they will govern without elections all the other "non-upgraded," after achieving significant depopulation through "merciful" eugenics. Of course, the transhumanists could not fail to have their own religion, church, and priests. Indeed, in their prayers, they praise mathematical functions and eternal youth. Who are the transhumanists, and by what right do they decide to remove our humanity without our consent? What is their dark worldview, how old is their obsession with divinity, and where does it originate? How is transhumanism connected to Nazism and the very origins of the European Union? Where will humanity be led under the iron heel of informational totalitarianism? A selection of the most important posts from "Aperopia" (www.aperopia.fr), the first Greek blog about transhumanism and posthumanism.
