Conspiracy theories and transhumanism
Conspiracy theories and transhumanism often go hand-in-hand.
Themes[править]
Anti-Semitism[править]
Conspiracy sites such as Rightpedia associate prominent Jewish transhumanists with the usual Satanic nonsense.[2]
Artificial intelligence[править]
Some conspiracy theorists testify that self-improving artificial intelligences and robots are killing labs full of scientists.[3] 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[править]
DARPA's research into human augmentation division in its new Biological Technologies Office provides much conspiracy fodder.[4][5][6]
Illuminati[править]
This video entitled Lady Gaga 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.[7]
Music[править]
Steve Aoki's videos have been viewed suspiciously by transhumanist conspiracy theorists.[8]
Oligarchy[править]
The high profile nature of some Silicon Valley libertarians such as Peter Thiel or billionaires like Dmitry Itskov has created a strong public association of oligarchy with the idea for many. This in term plays easily into the hands of conspiracy theorists.
Religion[править]
Transhumanism is often presented as an enemy of, or otherwise attacking and infiltrating religion.[9]. Considerable amount of effort by YouTubers such as The Vigilant Christian and Nicholson1968 is expended on these ideas.
Satanism[править]
Zoltan Istvan comments[10] how Alex Jones refers to transhumanism as the 'New Dark Age' [11] who infers links between global world government, the military-industrial complex and the dehumanisation potential of cybernetic enhancement. Others suggest satanic conspiracies[12] or occult[13] influences from a new world order.
Virtual Reality[править]
The development of virtual reality has heralded the end of days for some groups.[14]
Zoltan Istvan[править]
British conspiracy theorist David Icke has charaterised Zoltan Istvan's campaign as 'promoting the end of humanity'.[15] Other religious critics have compared him to the anti-christ.[16]
In fiction[править]
Dan Brown's Inferno features a transhumanist who is secretly some kind of super villain.
