Zoltan Istvan Foresees the Ultimate Race War – Legacy Humans Versus the Cyborg Swarm Transhumanism is the quest for total digitalization. If the movement succeeds, there will be no escape Joe Allen designprojects © 123rf.com True revolutions aren’t peaceful transitions of power. They usually culminate in waves of bloodshed. The old has to be purged, and because the old never wants to be purged, that means violent suppression. Most often, whoever has the most sophisticated technology is victorious—with few exceptions. The emerging transhumanist revolution, still in its nascent phase, may be no different. The former journalist and largely overlooked Transhumanist Party presidential candidate,  Zoltan Istvan , is fairly certain of that outcome. In a November 2020  interview with  Quartz ,  he was asked where the world will be in fifty years.

Our Economy In a Nutshell The economy has reached an inflection point where everything that is unsustainable finally starts unraveling. Our economy is in a crisis that's been brewing for decades.  The Chinese characters for the English word  crisis  are famously--and incorrectly--translated as  danger and opportunity . The more accurate translation is  precarious plus critical juncture or inflection point . Beneath its surface stability, our economy is precarious because the foundation of the global economy-- cheap energy--has reached an inflection point: from now on, energy will become more expensive. The cost will be too low for energy producers to make enough money to invest in future energy production, and too high for consumers to have enough money left after paying for the essentials of energy, food, shelter, etc., to spend freely.
