Toxic Marriage of Transhumanism, AI and Eugenics

Irina Kuzminsky’s new book confronts the history, promises and dangers of transhumanism and human ‘enhancement’, addressing the two core questions underlying the whole transhumanist debate: what is a human being, and what is consciousness?Transhumanism is emerging as a new secular faith, distorting and inverting spiritual traditions of human transcendence, and positioning itself as a new religion, with AI as its enabler. The ‘Superhuman’ AI, supposedly imminent, is projected to outstrip all human abilities and render humans obsolete and expendable – except for the promoters, who see themselves as the privileged elite. Enter eugenics, with the author exposing in detail the shocking views of many of the influential and wealthy transhumanist proponents. The crux with transhumanism: if we start defining ourselves as comparable to the machines we ourselves have created, we are welcoming in our own devolution. This book is a gripping meditation on evolution, identity, the sacredness of life and the soul of humanity itself.
