Book review: Transhumanism and technomorality

Abstract

Transhumanists question the sacred perfection of humans by eliminating their free will and building a digital and global control network for profit, which involves comprehensive surveillance, monitoring, and psychological control of humans. However, for this controlling, supervisory new digital supervisory capitalism and centralized economy to function, it is also necessary to manipulate relationships between people, e.g., by creating conflicts, increasing individualization, creating divisions, breaking down existing networks of trust, and, in particular, misleading the younger generation. Young people are most likely to experience that the "reality" conveyed by the internet and mobile phones is not reflected in school education. Thus, they believe that their future is entirely dependent on computers, mobile phones, and artificial intelligence. As digital services become more widespread, young people's dependence on digital technology also grows stronger. Uninformed young people who can identify with the virtual reality projected by machines have no idea that they themselves are sustaining the transhumanist power that manipulates them, for example, by providing free information about themselves when they make digital purchases, liking, posting on social media, browsing, or using the one-stop control system. In the noise of our over-hyped, over-mediatized, and over-politicized everyday lives, young people and we ourselves directly experience the war of thoughts, words, and deeds, where truth fights against manipulative transhumanism. The goal of this hidden battle is to change human behavior and mass thinking, which the young, inexperienced generation is most susceptible to.
