As described in the journal RSC Advances7 in 2015, luciferase gene-loaded quantum dots “can efficiently deliver genes into cells.” The abstract discusses their use as “self-illuminating probes for hepatoma imaging,” but the fact that quantum dots can deliver genetic material is interesting in itself. And in the future, anytime a new ‘pandemic’ appears and officials urge you to rush out and get a shot, please remember this article and ask yourself if it’s really you who stands to benefit from their advice.”. When I first started reading this post I could only think of those futuristic movies where the human race has become too technologically advanced and have made another race (be it robots, zombies, diseased humans, etc) that has ruined normal life. Two visible proponents of transhumanism are Ray Kurzweil (director of engineering at Google since 2012) and Elon Musk (founder of SpaceX, Tesla and Neuralink). Interestingly, this man-made lifespan makes the replicants conscious of their limited dates and brings about humanity in these so-called machines. Critics and opponents often see transhumanists' goals as posing threats to human values. Can these “new” humans function normally and reproduce with the “normal” humans? “Before the swine flu program there were comparatively few vaccine-related claims made against the Government. If inserting a synthetic RNA ends up creating permanent changes in the genome, humans will contain patentable genes. Of the 3,965 claims filed, the Justice official said 316 claims had been settled for about $12.3 million …”. Because synthetic genes can be patented. So, if inserting a synthetic RNA ends up creating permanent changes in the genome, humans will contain patentable genes. Now, it is that these “superhumans” are actually humans that have been altered in a myriad of ways. We do not know the results of meddling with our biology in such a way” (Fukuyama goes so far as to say that we cannot know). Over the past 20 years, coronavirus vaccine research has been plagued by one consistent adverse outcome in particular, namely paradoxical immune enhancement. While the term “mammal”, which is related to female biology and stresses hu- man specificities,12 is used to place the human species into the larger natural sys- tem; the term Homo sapiens emphasizes the human cognitive functions within a 9 Note that the hypothesis of LUA can also be based upon non-unitarian origins (see Woese 1998). According to Max More, a prominent supporter of transhumanism, it is a group of ideas that “refuses to accept traditional human limitations such as death, disease and other biological frailties” (from McNamee & Edwards 2006). He argues that evolutionary biology has revealed that there can be no distinctive “human essence”, because the human gene pool is not fixed. Is Being Used To Replace Human Biology November 22, 2020; Handbook to Higher Consciousness November 22, 2020; David Icke on the Road to The Great Reset and the A.I./Transhumanism Agenda (live in Maastricht, Holland 2017) November 22, 2020 “Engineering Morality” Because of the possibility of transhumans bringing mass destruction to our … Transhumanism is a way of thinking about the future that is based on the premise that the human species in its current form does not represent the end of our development but rather a comparatively early phase.. Transhumanism is a loosely defined movement that has developed gradually over the past two decades. Bostrom, Nick. A 2019 study16 reported finding a “novel association between Pandemrix-associated narcolepsy and the non-coding RNA gene GDNF-AS1” — a gene thought to regulate the production of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor or GDNF, a protein that plays an important role in neuronal survival. save. Moderna declares COVID vaccine to be an Operating System. Also what is the general populations accessibility to genetic engineering? “I say that is not true. What will that mean for us, seeing how patents have owners, and owners have patent rights? No mRNA vaccine has ever been licensed before. This “bioelectronic interface” is part of how the vaccination mark will be able to connect to your smartphone, Madej says, providing information about blood sugar, heart rate and any number of other biological data. In response to Fukuyama’s article, Bostrom (2004) argues that the Fukuyama’s argument is flawed. But who says this is necessarily a good thing? In a worst-case scenario, whatever changes occur could even be generational. For instance, we may consider violence and aggression a negative characteristic in itself, but it is useful when we need to defend ourselves. Certainly we’ve dominated the planet, control in a collective sense the nature of what our world is, at least our ability to survive and grow. Not only can it be mass produced quickly, but it can also be administered by anyone. McNamee, M. J., & Edwards, S. D. (2005). A quote that stood out to me was transhumanism, “is a group of ideas that “refuses to accept traditional human limitations such as death, disease and other biological frailties” In my opinion death and disease are not biological frailties, they are a part of life as we know it. The question is, might we also become less healthy? Synthetic genes can be patented. And, as Joyelle mentioned, this entire idea of transhumanism might be a matter of wealth. A third interesting point in favor of transhumanism is the idea that morality and personhood can be separate from a species biologically, and instead belong to a person intellectually. The issue with this is the possibility for complications. There will be more opportunities for inequality and separation of class. in appearance, intelligence, lifespan). I would also be envious of the fact that I am “made to always do the moral thing”. We really should not be quick to dismiss the idea that these vaccines may cause permanent genetic changes, because we now have proof that even conventional vaccines have the ability to do that, and they don’t involve the insertion of synthetic RNA. Retrieved from http://fukuyama.stanford.edu/, McNamee, M. J., & Edwards, S. D. (2005). How would future humans look and act like if genetic engineering become predominant? What is seen as a negative trait in one context could be a positive one in another. The morality lies in the next developing species, not because they are a species, but because they have intellectual capacity and can think freely. In particular, he was … One could potential clone a genetically engineered being (who has super strength or a high IQ) and make copies of the superior being. Or, as Dr. Carrie Madej explains in the video above, to meld human biology with technology and artificial intelligence. How will it be used? Of course, we do not yet know what exactly can be controlled by the transhumanist procedures, however, I would still be without certain freedoms that others may possess.

Transhumanism could be described in brief as the distinctive philosophy which considers that human evolution should no longer be left to Mother Nature alone, or in other words, that the human condition can be artificially improved. About Community. A Justice official told us that as of October 2, 1980, 3,965 claims and 1,384 lawsuits had been filed. 44. Or, it’s a possibility for it to become stable, to be taken up into the genome, and to be so stable that it will start replicating when the genome replicates. Their design is aimed at manipulating your very biology, and therefore have the potential to alter the biology of the entire human race. Maybe we need to balance exceptionality with normality. There could be ethical implications with autonomy and survival rates, just like the issues with cloning. Conventional vaccines train your body to recognize and respond to the proteins of a particular virus by injecting a small amount of the actual viral protein into your body, thereby triggering an immune response and the development of antibodies. One option is to take advantage of the advances in nanotechnologies, genetic engineering and other medical sciences to enhance the biological and mental functioning of human beings (never to go back). The Truthstream Media video above discusses the larger issues of transhumanism and the race to merge man with machine and artificial intelligence. According to Madej, right now, today, we may be standing at the literal crossroads of transhumanism, thanks to the fast approaching release of one or more mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. "Transhumanism is a class of philosophies that seek to guide us towards a posthuman condition. Another part of the delivery system that raises its own set of questions is the use of the enzyme luciferase, which has bioluminescent qualities. However, will this create an impossible moral standard? “In the spring of 1976, it looked like that year’s flu was the real thing. Neuralink is a transcranial implant that uses direct current stimulation. Would there be a split between those who could afford genetic engineering and those who couldn’t in the future? Change ), You are commenting using your Facebook account. Also, if your cellphone can receive information from your body, what information can your body receive from it, or other sources? Francis fukuyama: Biography. Whose to say that we haven’t already attained that state? Transhumanism shares many elements of humanism, including a respect for reason and science, a commitment to progress, and a valuing of human (or transhuman) existence in this life. However, as reported by The Vaccine Reaction, researchers have pointed out potential weaknesses:3, “According to researchers at University of Pennsylvania and Duke University, mRNA vaccines have potential safety issues, including local and systemic inflammation and stimulation of auto-reactive antibodies and autoimmunity, as well as development of edema (swelling) and blood clots.4”. Transhumanism: Meet the Cyborgs and Biohackers Redefining Beauty (CNN) – As biotechnology advances, so too may our ideas of what it means to be human. What that means is that it looks good until you get the disease, and then it makes the disease far worse than it would have been otherwise. A tenet of the movement is that “the first human being to live a thousand years is already living.”. According to “60 Minutes,” 46 million Americans were vaccinated against the swine flu at that time. RNA is essentially coding material that your body uses. He hopes to [be able to] communicate but there’s not going to be any communication. If I was born as one of the highly genetically modified “transhumans” I would be very grateful that I was born and allowed to live on the earth, but I would still be jealous of those “normal humans” who were born with two parents, whether divorced, deceased, incarcerated, etc. Two years ago, in October 2018, Forbes contributor Neil Sahota, a United Nations artificial intelligence adviser and UC Irvine professor, warned that transhumanism is fast approaching — likely faster than you think.1. He says your consultants are stupid.’ He’s already planning to try to get FDA approval for some neurological disorders and that’ll be the beginning of the onslaught.”. In a 2004 Foreign Policy report, eight  public intellectuals wrote on what they considered “the world’s most dangerous ideas” that will have to be confronted in the future. Ultimately, the goal is to merge the human brain with computers. Change ), You are commenting using your Google account. “Transhumanism, Medical Technology and Slippery Slopes”, Journal of Medical Ethics 32.9: 513-518. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t, and rushed response led to a medical debacle that hasn’t gone away. The replicants look identical to humans, but they have a built in four-year life span. The transhuman [iv] is a biological-technological organism, a transformation of the human species that continues to evolve with technology. “Vaccine manufacturers have stated that this will not alter our DNA, our genome,” Madej says. It’s as simple at attaching an adhesive bandage to your arm. I had not heard of transhumanism before this, but it definitely does not sound moral and human-like. After all, improving technology is an important part of public health. Transhumans fully intend to hijack the evolutionary process of genetic structuring in order to create Humanity 2.0.This means treating human DNA like computer code. “In the past few years, there has been considerable discussion around the idea we are slowly merging with our technology, that we are becoming transhuman, with updated abilities, including enhanced intelligence, strength, and awareness,” Sahota writes. "Transhumanism is an international intellectual and cultural movement supporting the use of science and technology to improve human mental and physical characteristics and capacities. This is not what happens with an mRNA vaccine. He wants to put in multiple threadlike electrodes into the brain, into webs of neurons, and put in low voltage stimulation. This was just one of Epstein's bizarre and problematic scientific interests related to "transhumanism" that were detailed in a story published on Wednesday in the New York Times. It does not restrict itself to genetic engineering, but also space colonization, artificial intelligence, etc. A swine flu article I wrote 11 years ago, in 2009, turned out to have a rather prophetic warning at the end: “The swine flu vaccine has not been tested for safety or efficacy, but we DO know it will contain harmful additives. The brain talks to itself. Transhumanism, medical technology and slippery slopes. I don’t know why they’re saying that. We won’t know how strongly transhumanism will ricochet and possibly explode the societal construct that we have today. Francis Fukuyama, a political scientist, wrote his article on transhumanism. This post and discussion of transhumanism reminds me the movie Blade Runner directed by Ridley Scott. Also, who is to say what qualities of humans are “good” and “bad”? Our behavior? Earlier this month I appeared on Steve Bannon’s War Room to discuss the topic of transhumanism. If this were true, all moral arguments are ineffective. and M.J. Edwards. “Our good characteristics” Fukuyama says, “are intimately connected to our bad ones” (2004). ... which is designed in a gender principle biology. On his view, transhumanism does not advocate for creating beings that lack moral agency (or somehow transcend it), which he considers more fundamental to our rights than our essence. He has a good point, but there are many negative points surrounding transhumanism than can easily become slippery slopes, as well as the positive points. (Bostrom gives some interesting information in a few YouTube interviews, such as this one). Precisely because the human is, in part, biological. In favor of transhumanism, we already use lower-level technology to extend and manipulate human life. The movement regards aspects of the human condition, such as disability, suffering, disease, aging, and involuntary death as unnecessary and undesirable.
