I was interviewed for an hour by Derek Gilbert yesterday on KSSZ about transhumanism, post humanity, and genetic enhancement of our progeny. We discuss transhumanism as religion, its obsession with control, and its threat to human exceptionalism. I quote James Hughes’ assertion from Citizen Cyborg that creating an ape/human hybrid would prove that human exceptionalism is bunk, or as he puts it, would disprove “human racism.” We also discuss transhumanism as a “new eugenics” and get into the history of the old eugenics.
