'''Conspiracy theories and transhumanism''' often go hand-in-hand.

== Themes ==
=== Anti-Semitism ===
Conspiracy sites such as Rightpedia associate prominent Jewish transhumanists with the usual Satanic nonsense.<ref>https://en.rightpedia.info/w/Transhumanism</ref>
=== Artificial intelligence ===

Some conspiracy theorists testify that self-improving artificial intelligences and robots are killing labs full of scientists.<ref>[https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ai-robots-kill-scientists/ Did Four AI Robots Kill 29 Scientists in Japan? - Snopes]</ref> Trolls have made up the idea of a secret AI called [[CAIMEO]] having escaped from a lab and hiding out on the dark web.

=== DARPA ===
[[DARPA]]'s research into human augmentation division in its new Biological Technologies Office provides much conspiracy fodder.<ref>[https://occupycorporatism.com/8-examples-transhumanist-future-according-darpa/ 8 Examples of a Transhumanist Future According to DARPA]</ref><ref>[http://io9.gizmodo.com/darpas-new-biotech-division-wants-to-create-a-transhum-1556857603 DARPA's New Biotech Division Wants To Create A Transhuman Future]</ref><ref>[http://hplusmagazine.com/2015/02/15/biology-technology-darpa-back-game-big-vision-h/ Biology is Technology — DARPA is Back in the Game With A Big Vision and It Is H+]</ref>
=== Illuminati ===
This video entitled [[Lady Gaga]] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPtPtC90tuY EXPOSES the Illuminati and the Facebook Transhuman Agenda] links Lady Gaga, [[Facebook]] and transhumanism together confusingly.

The leaders of [[MIRI]] have been implicated as a part of shadowy plots.<ref>[http://www.conspiracyschool.com/blog/global-mind-transhumanism-freemasonry-and-internet-god Global Mind: Transhumanism, Freemasonry and the Internet as God]</ref>
=== Music ===
[[Steve Aoki]]'s videos have been viewed suspiciously by transhumanist conspiracy theorists.<ref>[http://illuminatiwatcher.com/transhuman-symbolism-in-steve-aokis-singularity-music-video/ Transhuman symbolism in Steve Aoki’s ‘Singularity’ music video]</ref>

=== Oligarchy ===
The high profile nature of some [[Silicon Valley]] [[libertarian transhumanism|libertarians]] such as [[Peter Thiel]] or billionaires like [[Dmitry Itskov]] has created a strong public association of [[oligarchic transhumanism|oligarchy]] with the idea for many. This in term plays easily into the hands of conspiracy theorists.
=== Religion ===
[[File:Cyberpunk Culture.jpg|thumb|We're screwed]]
Transhumanism is often presented as an enemy of, or otherwise attacking and infiltrating religion.<ref>http://www.blessedquietness.com/journal/housechu/transhumanism_infects_christendom.htm</ref>. Considerable amount of effort by YouTubers such as [[The Vigilant Christian]] and [[Nicholson1968]] is expended on these ideas.

=== Satanism ===
[[Zoltan Istvan]] comments<ref>[http://motherboard.vice.com/read/transhumanist-a-conspiracy-theory-problem Transhumanism Has a Conspiracy Theory Problem]</ref> how [[Alex Jones]] refers to transhumanism as the 'New Dark Age' <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcvO7Oq3dUw Transhumanism: The New Dark Age]</ref> who infers links between global world government, the military-industrial complex and the [[dehumanisation]] potential of cybernetic enhancement. Others suggest [[satanism and transhumanism|satanic conspiracies]]<ref>[http://www.naturalnews.com/050858_transhumanism_RFID_chip_implants_body_modification.html# People increasingly mutilate themselves to look demonic as transhumanist movement grows]</ref> or occult<ref>[https://infrakshun.wordpress.com/2015/03/08/technocracy-xvi-occult-transhumanism-1/ Technocracy XVII: Occult Transhumanism (1)]</ref> influences from a new world order.
=== Virtual Reality ===
The development of [[virtual reality]] has heralded the end of days for some groups.<ref>[http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/mark-zuckerberg-and-facebook-using-virtual-reality-to-create-digital-zombies/ Mark Zuckerberg And Facebook Using Virtual Reality To Create Digital Zombies]</ref>

=== Zoltan Istvan ===
British conspiracy theorist [[David Icke]] has charaterised [[Zoltan Istvan]]'s campaign as 'promoting the end of humanity'.<ref>[https://www.davidicke.com/article/370318/transhumanist-party-promoting-end-humanity The Transhumanist Party - promoting the end of humanity]</ref> Other religious critics have compared him to the anti-christ.<ref>[http://www.unsealed.org/2016/01/new-antichrist-candidate-emerges-zoltan.html New Antichrist Candidate Emerges: Zoltan Istvan Gyurko]</ref>
