"Humans" are EXTINCT (Part One)

National Socialism is nothing but applied biology. - Rudolf Hess / Popular adage in the Third Reich.

The intellectual outlines of the eugenics Hitler adopted in 1924 were strictly America. He merely compounded all the virulence of long-established American race science with his fanatical anti-Jewish rage. Hitler's extremist race science, which in many ways seemed like a logical extension of America's own entrenched programs and advocacy, eventually helped shape the institutions and even the machinery of the Third Reich's genocide. By the time Hitler's concept of Aryan superiority emerged, his politics had completely fused into a biological and eugenic mindset.

Old Navy Ads Imitate US Weekly

...the consequences of genetic advance are obscured by hype and conspiratorial clamors. Adding more fog, human genetics is now in many ways dominated by capital investment, and many revelations are subject to the eighteen-month initial secrecy of patent applications, the protracted strictures of Wall Street financing and the permanence of corporate nondisclosure agreements. Many areas of human science are now trade secrets. Twentieth-century corporate philanthropy has given way to twenty-first century corporate profits. Information is often controlled by public relations officers and patent attorneys. It takes a profoundly trained professional eye and a clear mind to separate fact from fantasy and blessings from menaces.

...

...humanity should also be wary of a world where people are once again defined and divided by their genetic identities. If this happens, science-based discrimination and the desire for a master race may resurrect. This time is would be different. In the twenty-first century it will not be race, religion or nationality, but economics that determines which among us will dominate and thrive. Globalization and market forces will replace racist ideology and group prejudice to fashion mankind's coming genetic class destiny. If there is a new war against the weak it will not be about color, but about money. National emblems would bow to corporate logos.

Newgenics may rise like a phoenix from the ashes of eugenics and continue along the same route blazed in the last century. If it does, few will be able to clearly track the implications because the social and scientific revolutions will develop globally and corporately at the speed of a digital signal. The process will manifest as gradual genetic-based economic disenfranchisement. First, newgenics will create an uninsurable, unemployable and unfinanceable genetic underclass.

The process has already started.

In disagreement somewhat with Black on this point. The Eugenic Bomb is a (silent) global Auschwitz. The goal of the Eugenic Bomb is to eradicate ethnicity (meaning non-White) and standardize the human 'product.' This process is therefore racist at its most core, microscopic level. The 'generically attractive' post-human at its most virulent is (Sir)SPAM(alot) in humanoid form. The post-human is DEVOID of SPIRIT - a soulless automaton with a literally hardwired, machine-like consciousness.

To paraphrase Huxley (1932): The Brave New World is inhabited by creatures of human shape but stunted humanity. They consume, fornicate, take 'soma,' (etc)...they do not read, write, think, love or govern themselves. Art and science, virtue and religion, family and friendship are all passe'. What matters most is bodily health and immediate gratification.

and from Eugene Hacker:

Indeed, if the atomic bomb makes possible the idea of total species-wide extermination, then the genetic bomb would appear to follow upon that, but with more refinement: the extermination of genetically targeted populations within a given region. As Virilio notes, the genetic bomb is a more updated term for the population bomb, the demographic explosion that was seen to occur in the United States during the 1950's. noted by Einstein and many sociologists of the postwar era. But Virilio discounts the population bomb thesis and suggests that, now, the genetic bomb is in the process of engineering new divisions within the species, a "super-humanity that has been 'improved,' a eugenic humanity, by virtue of decoding the genome.

I hesitate because I do not want to 'occupy' and 'spend' the rest of my existence on this planet studying the 'post-human' and related 'upgrades.'
