It doesn\u2019t take a prophet or a philosopher to see that technological progress isn\u2019t leading us into some futuristic utopia. Quite the opposite: it\u2019s amplifying and instrumentalizing the worst aspects of human nature \u2014 for domination, for power, for the indulgence of our appetites, above all for mastery over the created order, including over death itself.<\/p>\n

The desire for immortality is of course what\u2019s behind the transhumanist movement. For as much as our cultural discourse these days focuses on transgenderism, that\u2019s a relatively minor aspect of the larger ideology of transhumanism, to which many of our tech elites in Silicon Valley, the people who are building out artificial intelligence, openly subscribe.<\/p>\n

That being the case, one of the things we need to wrap our heads around as we march further into the era of AI and mass digital technology, is that everything that\u00a0can<\/em>\u00a0be done with technology\u00a0will<\/em>\u00a0be done.<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t just mean we might find a cure for cancer, or invent a source of renewable clean energy. It also means the transhumanist dream of immortality will turn into a demonic, inhuman nightmare. Forget about transgender medical mutilation, as evil as that is. I\u2019m talking about things like the development of artificial wombs, human-animal chimeras, and clones grown in a lab for the purpose of harvesting organs and blood.<\/p>\n

These aren\u2019t things that might happen in some sci-fi future, they\u2019re beginning to happen now. Bryan Johnson, the Silicon Valley tycoon who believes he can reverse the aging process through technology \u2014 and is experimenting on himself, in a very public way, to prove it \u2014 announced this week that he has\u00a0cloned himself\u00a0for the purpose of growing replacement organs and harvesting blood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just cloned myself\u2026 as a newborn,\u201d Johnson wrote on X. \u201cThis baby-bryan lives in a petri dish for now. This may be scary to some people \u2026 a dystopian future. But, for others, they will see it as the inevitable future of health.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Johnson might not have a full-grown body double he\u2019s keeping in a lab somewhere, what he\u2019s done looks forward to a future where that might be possible \u2014 indeed, is likely inevitable (note that he says his clone is in a petri dish \u201cfor now\u201d). Johnson had his blood drawn, cells extracted, and then reprogrammed as stem cells. With these cells, he can in theory grow spare body parts, organs for transplantation, inject \u201cyoung cells,\u201d and, as Johnson puts it, \u201cbecome my own blood boy.\u201d<\/p>\n

He intends to do all of that, and possibly more. Johnson, who often appears in public wearing a \u00a0\u201cdon\u2019t die\u201d T-shirt, believes these technologies can reduce what he calls his \u201cbiological age.\u201d This will be accomplished, he believes, in part by turning over all his choices to specially-created AIs that dictate what he eats, when he sleeps, what he does. Almost every aspect of his life is determined by what this technology tells him to do. It is, for him, a kind of god that he serves.<\/p>\n

Johnson first became widely known a few years ago when TIME Magazine featured him in a puff profile. I wrote about him in my book,\u00a0Pagan America<\/em>, as an example of how the transhumanist movement is a form of neopaganism that will treat AI like a new form of deity, veritably worshipping it in exchange for powers and abilities that would otherwise be out of reach \u2014 like prolonged life.<\/p>\n

The desire for prolonged life is of course a perennial aspect of the human condition. In ages past, a witch or a pagan priest would consume the blood of a sacrificial victim for this purpose. Not much has changed. In Johnson\u2019s case, early on in his experiment, he injected himself with the blood plasma of his 18-year-old son in hopes it would reverse his own aging process. He abandoned the practice only because it didn\u2019t produce results.<\/p>\n

What we have here is a form of paganism, enhanced and to some extent hidden by the wonders of modern technology. But the basic worldview is unmistakably pagan: in exchange for fealty and sacrifice, a person will be given power. That\u2019s the bargain Johnson is making, whether he fully realizes it or not.<\/p>\n

All pagan systems, for example, rely on some form of human sacrifice. In the emerging neopagan future, amid the decline of Christian civilization, human sacrifice will return in new forms. Indeed, new technologies will bring new forms of human sacrifice, like the creation of clones by the ultrawealthy for the purpose of harvesting organs and blood.<\/p>\n

Critics will dismiss this argument as irrational fearmongering, the objections of Luddites and fundamentalists. The benefits that come with the progress of science and technology, they\u2019ll say, \u00a0cannot be denied.<\/p>\n

But there is no point in counting the benefits without counting the cost. The cost, in this case, is our humanity. We see this is the practice of abortion, IVF, even surrogacy. In each of these cases, the dignity of the unborn child is violated. It is the same with euthanasia, which in countries like Canada is quickly becoming mainstream, offered to the elderly and infirm by a medical establishment that would rather administer death than cure disease. These things are always euphemistically presented as a form of \u201chealth care,\u201d which is exactly what Johnson does, calling it \u201cthe future of health.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important, then, to call these things by their true names. In the case of technology that allows us to create clones for the purpose of harvesting organs and blood and cells, it\u2019s nothing more than slavery and human sacrifice. As such, it\u2019s also a great crime, a wicked and demonic practice that should, in a civilized society, be strictly outlawed. All the tech jargon in the world won\u2019t change that.<\/p>\n
