Transhumanism as the double negation of death
Jandrok, Thierry
Transhumanism as the double negation of death - 2021.
35
Transhumanism carries the hope of transcendence through technology. Since the last century, the promise of the transfer of subjectivity into a cybernetic system has grown in popularity among technophiles. If we imagine strong artificial intelligence (AI) supplanting the human kingdom, the meaning of death suffers a double negation. The promise of amortality within a cybernetic system replaces natural death. It is a case of escaping life to live in inexistence. A complex reflection is necessary to cut through these fantasies.
