Correia: If Only Glenn Beck Were A Cyborg

Prof. David Correia at the Univ. of New Mexico is a too rhetorical, however, he delineates here the quasi-religious obsession among some technophiles with "The Singularity, " sees strong links with the ideology of eugenics, and rips apart the assumption that so-called "Transhumanism" is democratic. 

I should add, I would grealy value an essay that made a better case. This relies too heavily on somewhat generic progressive objections - the corporate/ military industrial complex thing, while real, is too much of a stand-in. It needs much more specificity. 

It is however a reasonable introduction in linking Singularity ideologies and eugenics, and to strongly question the assumption that transhumanism is the kind of egalitarian/ individualist thinking it represents itself to be. 

I get the feeling that the Singularity ideology is an essentially fascistic ideology- with somewhat unconscious but real genocidal overtones, in the sense of  presuming that the present physical form of human beings is an unacceptable condition, which must and will inevitably be transcended.  Making the old forms, what? Tolerable? Superfluous? Sub-perfect? Sub-transhuman? At what point: disposable? At what point: intolerable?
