Humanity First: Defending the Soul of America Against the Rise of AI and Transhumanism

Humanity is at a crossroads. With the rise of Artificial Intelligence and the relentless push toward transhumanism, we are being asked—no, pressured—to trade in our God-given humanity for a so-called "enhanced" existence where biology and technology merge into one. But at what cost? Neuralink promises a future where your thoughts can be uploaded, erased, or rewritten. Stargate is now integrating AI with mRNA technology to "combat cancer,” but who controls the programming? Who decides what is rewritten? What happens to free will, to human biology, to the very soul of our nation? These aren't sci-fi hypotheticals—they are happening now. And for those of us who refuse to merge with the machine, what future awaits? Will we still have a place in society? These are the urgent questions we must answer before it's too late.

On March 1st, Pickax is bringing together some of the sharpest minds and boldest voices for a one-day virtual summit: Humanity First: Defending the Soul of America Against the Rise of AI and Transhumanism. This series of panels will break down the AI-driven agenda from all angles—technological, medical, governmental, and spiritual—so that you can understand what’s coming and how to fight back. Join Senator Ron Johnson, former VP candidate Nicole Shanahan, investigative journalist Maria Zeee, biotech analyst Karen Kingston, cybersecurity expert Nate Cain, Pickax CEO Jeff Dornik and many more as we expose the dangers of AI-driven transhumanism, consider what the role of Artificial Intelligence should be and chart a course to defend what makes us human. The battle for the soul of America is here.

At Pickax, we’re using technology to amplify humanity’s voice, not silence it. Unlike Big Tech, which harvests your data and manipulates your speech to build their AI-driven empire, we believe in protecting both Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Reach—because your voice deserves to be heard. While Silicon Valley elites work to centralize power and control the narrative, we’re building a platform that empowers you. Sign up for Pickax today, and during the Humanity First Summit, we’ll be taking questions LIVE from our Pickax users. This is your chance to be part of the conversation that will shape our future—before it’s too late. Sign up at pickax.com.
