Transhumanism

Starting in the mid-20th century, the idea of 'improving' the race and prolonging life began to gain ground, and by the 1990s it materialized in a philosophy called 'transhumanism'. In the 21st century, the global elites and the World Economic Forum took the initiative to accelerate and order this paradigm shift. Right now, they are working on the acceptance of ideas such as living on Mars or merging the biological, the technological and the physical. It will no longer be about the survival of the fittest, but about the specific design of beings. The position of creation, guidance and control will belong to the race itself, or at least to a part of it.
