Transhumanism: billionaires want to use tech to enhance our abilities – the outcomes could change what it means to be human.

Many prominent people in the tech industry have talked about the increasing convergence between humans and machines in coming decades. For example, Elon Musk has reportedly said he wants humans to merge with AI “to achieve a symbiosis with artificial intelligence”.

His company Neuralink aims to facilitate this convergence so that humans won’t be “left behind” as technology advances in the future. While people with disabilities would be near-term recipients of these innovations, some believe technologies like this could be used to enhance abilities in everyone.

These aims are inspired by an idea called transhumanism, the belief that we should use science and technology to radically enhance human capabilities and seek to direct our own evolutionary path. Disease, aging and death are all realities transhumanists wish to end, alongside dramatically increasing our cognitive, emotional and physical capacities.

Transhumanists often advocate for the three “supers” of superintelligence, superlongevity and superhappiness, the last referring to ways of achieving lasting happiness. There are many different views among the transhumanist community of what our ongoing evolution should look like.

For example, some advocate uploading the mind into digital form and settling the cosmos. Others think we should remain organic beings but rewire or upgrade our biology through genetic engineering and other methods. A future of designer babies, artificial wombs and anti-aging therapies appeal to these thinkers.

God-like role

Tech billionaires are among the biggest promoters of transhumanist thinking. It is not hard to understand why: they could be the central protagonists in the most important moment in history.

Creating so-called artificial general intelligence (AGI) – that is, an AI system that can do all the cognitive tasks a human can do and more – is a current focus within Silicon Valley. AGI is seen as vital to enabling us to take on the God-like role of designing our own evolutionary futures.

Elon Musk celebrated Halloween by dressing in a Satanic suit of armor complete with a Baphomet skull and inverted cross. The Tesla CEO and new owner of Twitter donned the costume while walking the red carpet at Heidi Klum’s Halloween party, where she infamously dressed up in a Lovecraftian worm suit.

The tech billionaire and meme lord attended the Halloween party with his mother, who posed next to her son in a photo tweeted by Musk.

The suit was designed by leather master Dale Caldwell and New York store Abracadabra NYC reportedly retails the suit for a whopping $7,500, noted that certain conservative Christians shared their outrage by the Satanic nature of Musk’s outfit.

Elon Musk recently purchased Twitter for a reported $44 Billion. I May Be Missing Something, rather than funding a personal acquisition, Wouldn't our world be better advanced by using far less than 44 BILLION DOLLARS to eradicate world hunger, cure cancer? List is long & the possibilities endless.”
