Immortal gods? The End of the Human Species
from The Zach Drew Show · host Zach Drew
“Thanks to public health measures and medical technologies, life expectancy in the West has more than doubled during the past century and is now approaching 80. Could it double again, and again, indefinitely into the far future, leading humans to become immortal gods? A number of techno-optimists think so.” - ‘More Than Human,’ Michael Shermer If the current trends simply just continue, what will that mean for the human race? Will we become a type of cyborg-race? Man mixed with machine; partly Human and partly … something else? That is what the world was like in the days of Noah before God judged the entire earth by water through the flood, and the Lord is going to judge the entire earth again, through fire, on the last day. We are at the dawn of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is characterized by, “representing new ways in which technology becomes embedded within societies and even the human body.” We are getting closer to that technology being embedded within us. If you’re not upgraded by this embedded technology, you will be left behind. There will be a divide between the upgraded and the flesh only. "Once such super-humans appear, there are going to be significant political problems with the unimproved humans, who won't be able to compete. Presumably, they will die out, or become unimportant. Instead, there will be a race of self-designing beings who are improving themselves at an ever-increasing rate," Stephen Hawking Articles for consideration: ARTICLE #1: "China unveils Brain-Computer Interface chip” - Futurism https://futurism.com/the-byte/brain-computer-interfaces-brain-talker ARTICLE #2: “Upgrade Your Memory With a Surgically Implanted Chip” - Bloomberg https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-06-10/upgrade-your-memory-with-a-surgically-implanted-chip ARTICLE #3: “DARPA Wants ‘Thought-Controlled Weapons’ By Finding Ways To ‘Read Soldiers’ Minds’” - Zerohedge https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-06-09/darpa-wants-thought-controlled-weapons-finding-ways-read-soldiers-minds ARTICLE #4: “Elon Musk’s creepy Neuralink project that will make you a GENIUS by wiring your brain to a computer chip is ‘coming soon’” - The Sun https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/8920675/elon-musks-neuralink-coming-soon/ Follow the Zach Drew show at ZachDrewShow.com Please consider partnering with us!
