First of all, what is “Transhumanism?”‘
According to Britannica, “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.”
The goal of trans-humanism is to use technology and genetic engineering to enhance humans and ultimately become “post-human,” according to a 2017 paper in The Journal of Medicine and Philosophy
The most common trans-humanist thesis is that human beings may eventually be able to transform themselves into “different beings” with abilities so greatly expanded from the current condition as to merit the label of “post-human” beings.
Essentially, they will be human robots…
Many might compare trans-humanism to eugenics.
7 Ways Transhumanism Will Change the World by 2030 (according to Forbes)
- Our bodies will be augmented.
- Our thought processes will be faster and “transferable.”
- Gamification and behavioral science will increase human productivity.
- “We will be more empathetic.”
- We will see the emergence of “extreme” personalization and customization.
- Business practices will shift significantly.
- Conversations focused on our “societal values” will gain a great deal of attention.
Eugenics
Eugenics is the science of improving the human species by selectively mating people with specific, ‘desirable’ hereditary traits to breed out disease, disabilities, and other ‘undesirable’ human traits.
Eugenics was very popular with the Nazis.
While trans-humanism does not explicitly encourage breeding for the superiority of one specific group, the methods endorsed by some prominent trans-humanists aim for the same end.
Trans-humanism intends to use sophisticated technology to engineer and upgrade the human population’s intellect and physiology to superhuman levels.
Who would supervise and participate in this “improvement” of the population?
Some of transhumanism’s most vocal adherents are making it clear it’s a limited few. As a result, this pushes closer and closer to the effects of eugenics.
Yuval Noah Harari, Klaus Schwab’s Top Advisor
Harari is a public intellectual, historian, and professor who serves as Klaus Schwab’s top adviser.
The man who advises Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum, believes that free will is over.
In an interview from 2019, he says:
“Humans are now hackable animals.”
“The whole idea that humans have this ‘soul’ or ‘spirit’ and nobody knows what’s happening inside them, and they have free will… That’s over. By hacking organisms, elites may gain the power to re-engineer the future of life itself.”
“Because once you can hack something you can usually engineer it. In the past, many tyrants and governments wanted to do it but nobody understood biology well enough and no one had enough computer power and data to hack millions of people. Neither the Gestapo nor the KGB could do it. But soon, at least some corporations and governments will be able to systematically hack all the people.”

Artificial Intelligence (A.I)
Computer scientist Marvin Minsky wrote on relationships between human and artificial intelligence beginning in the 1960s. Over the following decades, this field continued to generate influential thinkers such as Hans Moravec and Raymond Kurzweil, who oscillated between the technical arena and futuristic speculations in the trans-humanist vein.
The coalescence of an identifiable trans-humanist movement began in the last decades of the 20th century. In 1966, FM-2030 (formerly F. M. Esfandiary), a futurist who taught “new concepts of the human” at The New School, in New York City, began to identify people who adopt technologies, lifestyles and world view transitional to post-humanity as “trans-human”.
In 1972, Robert Ettinger, whose 1964 Prospect of Immortality founded the cryonics movement, contributed to the conceptualization of “trans-humanism” with his 1972 Man into Superman. FM-2030 published the Upwingers Manifesto in 1973.
