Transhumanism seeks to move from blind evolution to a conscious one. It envisions becoming “homo faber,” taking control over our existence and freeing ourselves from evolutionary constraints. The transhumanist is seen as Luciferian, rebelling against creation and bringing knowledge and progress. Will superintelligence be our evolutionary goal? Will merging with AI be our only hope for survival?

In the future, those who do not merge with artificial intelligence may be viewed as the Amish or the Korowai are today, while enhanced humans will have a significant advantage. Will they become übermenschen? The process of hybridization may already be underway. Is there a difference between using AI to help us at work and having a brain-computer interface (BCI) that transforms our brain inputs into outputs?
AI and the problem of Techno-diversity
Will those who choose not to merge with AI be relegated to the ideological leper colony of tomorrow?
