Is their worldview transhumanist, though? Transhumanism isn’t inherently antihuman (except possibly on the individual scale).

Possibly I just haven’t seen enough, but in my experience, I haven’t seen transhuman-leaning people argue for reducing population or any of these measures, and they come across kind of anti-elitist.

The people you’ve named, on the other hand, don’t seem interested in uploading or augmenting themselves so much as they are interested in controlling others.

I think they believe they are on the cusp of technological breakthroughs that will allow them to live forever & that they need to kill huge portions of the population in order for the earth to have room for the important people & their offspring who will live forever too.

Demonically shortsighted.

Evil is stupid

I think the root of most destructive behavior is a deep sort of hatred of life & the success of others. Soros is the easy one because he was actually trained by Nazis as a child & made to raid the homes of jewish families (and he said it was the best times of his life). So the abuse there is completely obvious. Supposedly Gates's father was a eugenicist & Gates just looks like someone who was picked on in school. I don't think they are actually short sighted people, they play long games in their destructive efforts.

But they ARE evil & stupid

As someone who was picked on in school and probably still looks like it, I say shame on all those who make that experience an excuse to perpetuate what was done to them

Oh for sure. I mean fuck the horrible school structure in general, but it's definitely no excuse for going all Columbine on the world.

Transhumanism is a big umbrella term.

Effective accelerationists are in part transhumanists, but they reject all the anti-human nonsense of the Left.
