Transhumanism won't save you
September 17, 2025
|Manila Bulletin
They tell you the future is here. That soon your brain will be enhanced, your body rebuilt, your life extended. You’ll think faster, live longer, feel less pain. They call it transhumanism, the next step in human evolution. And you— numbed by the comfort of screens and the endless drip of entertainment—believe them.
But you shouldn’t.
What they promise is not transformation. It’s convenience disguised as greatness. What they offer is not a new kind of human—it’s a more obedient machine.
The question is not whether we can enhance the body. The question is whether doing so makes us better, fuller, deeper beings. Does it make us more human, or less?
