There is so much hubris among these transhumanists it is laughable. Their goals of living forever, defying death, uploading their brains, and curing all ills are reminiscent of so many science fiction stories that turn out - guess what - poorly! We are biologically created to DIE. Where is the consideration for the human psyche here, let alone the soul? The human mind is not meant to live forever, we cannot even conceive the concept of eternity and infinity, how would be able to deal with living beyond normal human years? Those who wish to fly on wings of wax and feathers will melt in the sun, and plummet into the ocean.
I see no good coming from this, just the concentration of human arrogance and narcissism. This is not an altruistic pursuit or project, it is a selfish and if that is the root of it, the motivator, what other dark human traits will be fed if such a venture is successful? It won't be the best side of us, it will be the worst. Transhumanism is an excellent example of the type of satanic thinking found in John Milton's Paradise Lost. There is a reason the greatest sin is human pride, whether you are a Christian or not there is much to be learned from that and it's a warning.
"Pritzker also created the first chair in transgender studies at the University of Victoria in British Columbia. The current chair, Aaron Devor, founded an annual conference called Moving Trans History Forward, whose keynote speaker in 2016 was the renowned transhumanist, Martine Rothblatt, who was mentored by the transhumanist Ray Kurzweil of Google. Rothblatt lectured there on the value of creating an organization such as WPATH to serve “tech transgenders” in the cultivation of “tech transhumanists.” (Rothblatt’s ideology of disembodiment and technological religion seems to be having nearly as much influence on American culture as Sirius satellite radio, which Rothblatt co-founded.) Rothblatt is an integral presence at Out Leadership, a business networking arm of the LGBTQ+ movement, and appears to believe that “we are making God as we are implementing technology that is ever more all-knowing, ever-present, all-powerful, and beneficent.”"
So, tons of billionaire money goes into pushing this.
Thank you for sharing these articles LovingMother, you always have good resources and thoughts to share. I know of Rothblatt, she's also dreaming of creating organ farms from genetically modified pigs to grow organs not just for people in organ failure, but for replacing aging organs (I wrote about that on my substack in an essay called When Science goes too Far). The religious movement mentioned in connection with her is based on the work of science fiction writer, Octavia Butler, specifically her book series "Earthseed."
These types of movements are definitely pushed by big money and strange, unhuman philosophies in my opinion. It's rooted in the desire to transcend our human limitations, which in and of itself is prideful. It's strange, bizzare, and worrisome.
Edge, Amen! Before I read "satanic thinking", I was thinking to myself that these thoughts about living forever (in a biological way) are implanted by demons that live among us on Earth, trying to drive humanity away from G-d.

There's lots of Transhumanist and TransGender overlap:

There are definitely some billionaires who back trans-humanism/synthetic sex identities:
