129. Transhumanism 7/28: Why Do We Worship Imperfect Technologies?

The podcast is available at https://youtu.be/bUnR5NLrdBs.

The worshiping of current modern digital technologies is particularly prevalent among the young—those born roughly in the second half of the 1990s and subsequent generations—who cannot imagine their daily lives without mobile phones, iPads, computers, etc., and, of course, without the internet and email, which were originally developed for military purposes. Those born around the mid-eighties and mid-nineties, the so-called generation Y, spent their childhoods without personal mobile phones, the internet, or computers. Even if they used a computer—such as an IBM 384—it was strictly at the workplace. The advancements in microprocessor development in the 1990s allowed personal computers to spread on a mass scale, becoming tools not just for work, but for entertainment as well, such as video games and films. Consequently, the next generation, generation Z, was already surrounded by devices whose existence they took for granted, never considering that these tools did not exist just ten or fifteen years prior. This generation never knew an era when they couldn't hold a smartphone in their hands to get quick answers to historical or scientific questions, listen to music, or stay in touch with relatives, friends, acquaintances, and colleagues.

Generation Z grew up in a world where the personal events of friends, family members, and celebrities were already public on social media platforms. If they failed to follow or identify with someone among their relatives or acquaintances, there were the daily celebrated stars: movie icons, F1 drivers, and footballers—and much less frequently, scientists or artists. This generation has most acutely experienced the false "omnipotence" of 24-hour digital media: the notion that if something it isn't on the internet, it doesn't exist. In their lack of information, their vulnerability, and the folly of their youth, they do not realize they are the victims and experimental subjects of digital eugenics. Their dependence on digital devices and the outsourcing of their knowledge to these tools means that, in their ignorance, they are losing their identity and self-determination. What’s more, many—trusting in the information surplus of machines—hold the machine in higher regard than themselves. The goal of the manipulating powers is precisely to achieve the loss of identity in the younger generation; otherwise, they might realize they are the image and likeness of the One, and then who would sustain the tyrants of transhumanism?

According to Hajdu, digital manipulation tries to convince young people that their knowledge—and even their self-awareness—depends on the machine; that they do not need to use their own sober reasoning because the machine knows everything better. The current, similarly intentionally manipulated climate hysteria is no coincidence either, used to make people believe how harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are. The manipulators do not mention that without CO2 in the food chain, humans would not exist, as CO2 is the foundation of plant photosynthesis. Herbivorous animals would not exist without plants, and humans cannot exist without plants and livestock. Generation Z must learn that they are not victims and machines are not saviours. If they renounce the creative abilities inherent within them and leave everything to machines—perhaps trying to buy everything with money—they voluntarily renounce the "little god" within them: their free will, self-determination, consciousness, virtues, and thus, themselves. Why do they not recognize that this voluntarily accepted renunciation is nothing other than vulnerability—that is, digital slavery? One can be a slave even if all material needs are met and they have enough money for the next 20–30 years. This generation stands to lose those inner, spiritual characteristics that make them human, such as altruism, helpfulness, empathy, diligence, perseverance, and courtesy.

It is expected that this generation will be the one forced to decide whether to hold on to the human characteristics stemming from their creation, or to surrender them and become transhuman hybrid beings. As we already mentioned, members of this generation should consider that if they fail to recognize what they possess, they will only realize its value once it is lost—and once lost, it can never be recovered. They must choose, therefore, whether to preserve their natural qualities given by the One, or to subordinate all of it to artificial technologies created by ignorant men. This decision will define human destiny here on Earth forever. The power to decide is always in our hands. It is we who must decide, not the machine, nor the profit-hungry powers of manipulation. It is we who must teach artificial intelligence. We have reached the threshold of human existence where we must determine how much technology we allow into our lives, and how much of our divine nature we are willing to give away.

If we rely entirely on our five senses—and solely on our rational thinking—we are lost. If we happen to become transhuman hybrids, we can no longer return to our divine nature. This transformation is a one-way ticket. We will be unable to return to our divine life form because, by accepting artificial devices installed in and on our bodies, our body’s capacity for adaptation and its inherent intelligence will diminish. Because we fail to utilize the abilities arising from our creation, they will wither and disappear. To make the right decision, generation Z should ask themselves the following questions and seek the answers: Whose vision is the implementation of transhumanism? Why are measures against transhumanism missing from national and international regulations—measures that could define how far one can go? Why is moral regulation, such as the enforcement of "techno-morals," being delayed?

Generation Z must know that for thousands of years, man has been the image and likeness of the One, thus possessing divine attributes. The backstage power wants to erase this divine quality to have the mass of enslaved people at their disposal. If this generation yields to manipulation and fails to exercise its free will, it is possible they will have been the last of Homo sapiens—the last representatives of the "wise" human species. Members of generation Z should also ask: Why would they surrender the freedom of their thoughts, spoken words, and actions; the free sharing of their ideas; and the freedom of their imagination, creativity, autonomy, and self-determination, all of which act as such vital stimuli in their lives? Why should they believe that, while surrendering all these freedoms, they could still enjoy the benefits of a new digital world managed by "smart" systems? It is all a trap. Young people should take note of the double meaning in these messages—for example, the promise that in this surrendered freedom, "you will own nothing, but you will be happy." This is nothing more than the previously known Communist equality, but in a new digital package where there is neither poor nor rich, only slaves. On the basis of equality, everyone receives the basics necessary for life. For example, when furniture or a car is needed, it must be rented. They claim that as we move from the current consumer society to a digital one, we will be more carefree and happy. But how can a digital slave be happy? We must realize that this is a trap—the oppression of man—so that certain powerful entities can generate profit even from this. Someone else will own our homes, our cars, our computers, and our smartphones. And whoever that "someone" is, they will be wealthy and powerful beyond our imagination. As previously mentioned, the renunciation of private property increases fear, vulnerability, existential insecurity, and stress. Surrendering our individual freedom also means accepting constant digital surveillance.
