The Rise of Techno-Gods: The Merging of Transhumanism and Spirituality Based on the premise that evolution is true, transhumanism looks to shape the human species through the direct application of science. In other words, by employing technology we can take hold of the evolutionary process and change it as we desire, thus becoming the masters of our future. To this end, advocates of transhumanism ascribe to a multitude of possible options. The Mormon Transhumanist Association (MTA) gives us an overview, “…visions of a neohuman future will evolve as time goes on. As imagined now, possible neohuman traits, all involving technological enhancements to current human capacities, include: - highly advanced intellectual capabilities, greater than ours in magnitude as ours are greater than those of other animals - physical bodies that are immune to disease and aging - the ability to communicate complex thoughts and emotions instantaneously without visual aids or speech - expanded sensory inputs that enable higher awareness of even distant environs - superhuman strength and agility - perfect control of individual desires, moods, or mental states - increased capacity to experience joy, love, pleasure, and other emotions.” raidersnewsupdate/leadstory121.htm
