The Age of Transitions part 1

A documentary by Aaron Franz about converging technology, transhumanism, and our future in the making.

The cutting edge group known as transhumanists see a beautiful future brought about by artificial intelligence, life extension, and cybernetics. What must be realised before getting carried away with such utopian dreams is that transhumanism was born out of the elitist pseudo-science eugenics.

This documentary provides vital information on the history of eugenics and its new faces.

Featuring: Ray Kurzweil, Nick Bostrom, Dr. Professor Kevin Warwick, Hugo de Garis, Michio Kaku, Aubrey de Grey, Anders Sandberg, Cathy O'Brien, Alan Watt, Alex Jones, Jordan Maxwell and Natasha Vita-More.

I don't understand what 9/11 had to do with the technological singularity

[thebrokenchessboard]

He was just setting the backdrop or mindset to certain topics.

I will say 9/11 has increased the speed of reaching the singularity. What better excuse to integrate with technology than security.

[atheelogos]

transhumanism is not a new face of eugenics. If you think this then you dont fully understand it.

[thebrokenchessboard]

If the technological engineering of humans along social guidelines WE do not decide is not eugenics, what is?

[connor646]

"Eugenics - the study of, improving the qualities of the human species or a human population by discouraging reproduction by persons having genetic defects."

In case you didn't know nature practices eugenics everytime an offspring is born. Humans for example are bioogically wired to find a healthy human body sexually attractive over one which isn't, the reason for this is to produce offspring with a higher percentage of survival than one with genetic defects.

[thebrokenchessboard]

Can you say social darwinism? Genocide, Ethinic Cleansing...

Yes we've come a long way from "me Tarzan, you Jane", nature the environment and the individual still decide who their mates are.

Not a group of people who think they are better than everyone/thing else and long for the "NEW MAN".

So don't be deceived as all you will get is a brave new world scenario.

transhuman adj : transcending human limits : SUPERHUMAN ("Webster's Unabridged Dictionary," 1967)

[BeondaPale]

If the "Elites" think that THEY are going to be the ones to benefit from trans-humanism, they've got another thing coming.

Rich people are usually old and don't know diddly about the newest technologies. It is and WILL BE the YOUNG who are technologically adept and WILL BE the first trans-humans.

[BeondaPale]

Technological progress is accelerating - there's not a damn thing ANYONE can do about that . It's been happening since man discovered fire.

This film takes the POV of elites improving only themselves, killing everyone else and creating a utopia for themselves alone. If true it won't end there - higher models will kill off lower models until only a very few - Human 7.0 or something will be left

BUT THERE IS ANOTHER VISION

If it's done RIGHT, it CAN save us.

FEAR is the mind killer

[Keim4ever]

Wow I was stunned by Clinton's speech. I could never imagine that coming out of a single politician as of today. It kind of makes me sad that he has been replaced by a complete retard, and a pussy who caves in on every issue. 

[screechslater]

@endsequence So teach us the real meaning of Transhumanism. Enlighten us with your knowledge endsequence. Comical comparison?? One of the first minds to discuss Transhumanism was Julian Huxley. Huxley described how eugenics were the foundation for Transhumanism. Just because YOU don't see the parallels does not mean they are not there. Many Transhumanists including Huxley have literature which lazy people like you can go read. So sad is quite right when it comes to your ignorance.

[endsequence]

This film seems to have no comprehensible idea as to what Transhumanism actually entails. This also presents a comical comparison between two subjects that have absolutely nothing to do with eachother. What's sad is that most people who digest this video sympathetically, probably consider this "research" and use it as a crutch in debates when they tell people to "go do some research" on the subject. So sad -- so lazy.

[clicker59]

wow, talk about nwo puppets.

[trevenman]

The links between transhumanism and eugenics are fabricated here.

I've been a transhumanist for many years and I would never think that some present-day human race is in any way better than any other. Transhumanists want to design higher life forms, they see ALL humanity as prototypes for beings with higher capacities.

[TheyLiveWeStillSleep]

Thanks for uploading this. I see a lot of bitter comments on here but that's the ego. People would rather shoot the messenger than consider they've been duped by new age propaganda (funded by pro-nwo channels) and open their minds to reality. It is irrational to cling to this idea of a utopia in the future when the ruling class (who will be in control of the chips) sees everyone but the elite families as cattle. And has openly said they want to reduce the slave population to consolidate control.
