The Ruins of Empire

What is this blind fatality, that, without order or laws, sports with the lot of mortals?

Trans-humanism is Post-humanism. It is humanism with the optimism taken out, a movement that advocates for the transformation and the “advancement of humanity through technology” that runs the gamut from nanotechnology to AI. This paradigm is not limited to gadgets and medicine but also molds social, economic, cultural, institutional design, language, and the psyche.

To be clear, Trans-humanism is a manufactured endpoint to human evolution…

1) Where our bodies will be augmented and sterilized in utero.

2) Where divinity is exorcised out of humanity and humanity has outgrown its usefulness.

3) Where scientists are Gods to be worshiped.

5) Where politicians are priests who dictate new laws to live by.

6) Where the more you separate yourself from your divine nature…your heart-self…the more you create something non-human.”

Encyclopedia Britannica has this statement to make about Trans-humanism which is more matter of fact. 

“Trans-humanism, is a social and philosophical movement devoted to promoting the research and development of robust human-enhancement technologies. Such technologies would augment or increase human sensory reception, emotive ability, or cognitive capacity as well as radically improve human health and extend human life spans. Such modifications resulting from the addition of biological or physical technologies would be more or less permanent and integrated into the human body."

At the “Trans-humanism” website transhumanist.org on the homepage you will find the slogan, “Towards a Triple S Civilization: Super-intelligence, Super-longevity and Super-happiness!”

This slogan encapsulates what a growing number of people today believe and want. These are the goals of a small but very influential group of people.

What is this blind fatality, that, without order or laws, sports with the lot of mortals? What this unjust necessity, which confounds the issue of actions, be they those of prudence or those of folly? In what consists the maledictions of Heaven denounced against these countries? Where is the divine curse that perpetuates this scene of desolation? Monuments of past ages! say, have the heavens changed their laws, and the earth its course? Has the sun extinguished his fires in the region of space? Do the seas no longer send forth clouds? Are the rain and the dew fixed in the air? Do the mountains retain their springs? Are the streams dried up? and do the plants no more bear fruit and seed? Answer, race of falsehood and iniquity, has God troubled the primitive and invariable order which he himself assigned to nature? Has heaven denied to the earth, and the earth to its inhabitants, the blessings that were formerly dispensed? If the creation has remained the same, if its sources and its instruments are exactly what they once were, wherefore should not the present race have every thing within their reach that their ancestors enjoyed? Falsely do you accuse Fate and the Divinity: injuriously do you refer to God the cause of your evils. Tell me, perverse and hypocritical race, if these places are desolate, if powerful cities are reduced to solitude, is it he that has occasioned the ruin? Is it his hand that has thrown down these walls, sapped these temples, mutilated these pillars? or is it the hand of man?
