The Transformation of the Self: Are We Becoming Transhuman?
The Transformation of the Self: Are We Becoming Transhuman?
by Transformation Nomads
We are living in a pivotal moment of human history. Chaos seems to be everywhere—wars, natural disasters, pollution, and rising violence. As the world changes rapidly, a major discussion is emerging about transhumanism—the idea that humans can evolve by merging with technology. Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, and his advisor claim, "We will become Gods." But what does that really mean? Are we headed toward a future where humans become cyborgs—half-human, half-computer?
What Is Transhumanism?
Transhumanism suggests that we can enhance our physical and mental abilities with technology, from AI to brain-computer interfaces. While this vision might seem like progress, the real question is: Do we want this to be the ultimate transformation of humanity? Technology can improve lives, but we risk losing what makes us fundamentally human.
The Need for Inner Transformation
As Dutch philosopher Marcel Messing notes, the chaos we see in the world today reflects deeper forces at play. The real protection against these challenges is not more technology, but the journey inward—focusing on self-awareness, spiritual growth, and understanding who we are. It's easy to be swept up in external changes, but the true transformation is about finding peace and clarity within ourselves.
Self-Transformation vs. the Transhuman Future
While transhumanism offers a vision of enhanced abilities through technology, the most important transformation is the one within. Are we willing to trade our humanity for technological upgrades? Or should we focus on our spiritual evolution, finding peace even in a chaotic world? By nurturing our inner selves, we can maintain tranquility and clarity, no matter what external challenges arise.
