Brett Carollo: Transhumanism & the Religion of Apotheosis

Brett Carollo discusses how transhumanism operates not merely as a secular philosophy or scientific endeavor, but as a de facto religious movement and the core worldview of the global superclass. Carollo traces the intellectual history of this movement, explaining its deep roots in ancient Gnosticism, eugenics, and occult traditions like Prometheanism and Luciferianism. The discussion highlights how technocratic elites use emerging technologies, AI, and biotechnology to pursue a perverse form of deification called apotheosis. Finally, the dialogue contrasts this technocratic obsession with individual ego godhood against the traditional Christian concept of theosis, which emphasizes spiritual union with God rather than through the implementation of a dystopian, post-human cybernetic society.
