• Humanity Enslaved In The Nanotech-Prison

  12-02-2025 17:01 via technocracy.news
  
  The evil twin of Technocracy is Transhumanism, and they coordinate together in perfect harmony. What people missed with Technocracy is bad enough: Transhumanism (which is abjectly personal) will kill all human autonomy. NBIC (Nano-Bio-Info-Cogno), or Convergence Science, is not about improving human performance but rather is about constructing an inescapable bio-nano prison around all humanity. Like Harari said, “the technology is going under your skin.”
