May 14th Live Q&A on Israel suing NYT, Trust in the Mainstream Media, Tucker Carlson, Ukraine & More!
"We shouldn't be thinking about how to just transcend our gender. We should be thinking about how to transcend humanity into something better. We should be thinking about the next evolutionary stage. Mark Zuckerberg constantly was talking about making machines merge with humans. This is what he wants. This is what he envisions on like a mass scale. Not just if you have a disease, but just to improve your capabilities, like put AI in your head."
Greenwald described Peter Thiel and Mark Zuckerberg's stated vision of merging humans with AI and machines to create a transhuman species, moving beyond mere medical applications. He cited Thiel's dismissal of transgenderism as too trivial compared to transcending humanity itself, and Zuckerberg's repeated advocacy for brain-machine interfaces. Greenwald argued such god-like powers should not rest with a few tech billionaires acting on private theological visions without democratic oversight.
