“Everyone is using science and technology to enhance or to alter our body chemistry in order to stay healthy and be more in control of our lives. We are all transhumanists to varying degrees.”
― Newton Lee, The Transhumanism Handbook

“J. Robert Oppenheimer observed people’s reaction to the use of nuclear weapons and he said, “A few people laughed. A few people cried. Most people were silent.â€� If we keep silent and sit on the sidelines instead of speaking up and marching forward, human suffering will continue and inevitably escalate.”
― Newton Lee, The Transhumanism Handbook

“Whichever form of government that democracy will create in the future, the great American experiment will go down in history as the freest and the bravest in the land of the free and the home of the brave.”
― Newton Lee, The Transhumanism Handbook

“Direct democracy benefits everyone as long as it does not drown out minority voices.”
― Newton Lee, The Transhumanism Handbook

“Transhumanism will save democracy from its demise.”
― Newton Lee, The Transhumanism Handbook

“Even a large majority of beautiful music, great literature, and wonderful work of arts depicts human suffering, injustice, fears, and unfulfilled desires.”
― Newton Lee, The Transhumanism Handbook

“Without collaboration and synergy among various communities and socioeconomic groups, democracy will eventually fail as it “wastes exhausts and murders itself,â€� in the words of America’s founding father John Adams.”
― Newton Lee, The Transhumanism Handbook

“The Transhumanist Party offers the most inclusive ideology for all ethnicities and races, the religious and the atheists, conservatives and liberals, the young and the old regardless of socioeconomic status, gender identity, or any other individual qualities.”
― Newton Lee, The Transhumanism Handbook

“Technological singularity is inevitable given the human nature to discover, create, and change the world that we live in.”
― Newton Lee, The Transhumanism Handbook

“Whatever fortune or misfortune awaits in the subsequent reincarnations, a purgatory by definition does not last forever. We will be forced to either go backward to the Amish way of life devoid of technology or move forward to a transhumanist world embracing technology.”
― Newton Lee, The Transhumanism Handbook

“Ignorance and apathy will eventually lead to the annihilation of humanity if left unchecked.”
― Newton Lee, The Transhumanism Handbook

“The Transhumanist Party aims to motivate and mobilize both female and male scientists and engineers to take on additional responsibilities as rational politicians. It does not mean replacing democracy with technocracy. It means that our government needs help in making the right policies and investing in science, health, and technology for the improvement of the human condition and the long-term survival of the human race.”
― Newton Lee, The Transhumanism Handbook

“To err is human, whether we are religious, atheist, or agnostic.”
― Newton Lee, The Transhumanism Handbook

“Had the early cavemen fought with atomic bombs instead of rocks and cattle bone clubs, the human species would have been extinct eons ago. With great power comes great responsibility.”
― Newton Lee, The Transhumanism Handbook

“All living things are recycled.”
― Newton Lee, The Transhumanism Handbook

“Had Albert Einstein accepted the Israeli cabinet’s offer to become the country’s President in 1952, the Middle East would have been a very different place today because of Einstein’s commitment to pacifism.”
― Newton Lee, The Transhumanism Handbook

“Let me tell you as a brain scientist and a computer engineering dropout - transhumanism is to brain computer interface, what nuclear weapons are to nuclear physics.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans

“Whatever way we learn, we will find that it is not cogito that is important but that you are a cog. You are a cog in a machine that does not need your cognition. You must merely conform to the coordinated.”
― James Tunney, TechBondAge: Slavery of the Human Spirit

“Conformity is the tool of the tyrant. What one chooses to conform to is critical. The Empire now rules by information superhighways to our soul. The Apple a day we have bitten is the Appian Way to make a phoney ‘Iâ€� linked to algorithms of stupor.”
― James Tunney, TechBondAge: Slavery of the Human Spirit

“Transhumanism is Terrorism (The Sonnet)

Intelligence comes easy, accountability not so much,
Yet intelligence is complex, accountability is simple.
Technology comes easy, transformation not so much,
Yet technology is complicated, transformation is simple.
In olden days there were just nutters of fundamentalism,
Today there are nutters of nationalism and transhumanism.
Some are obsessed with land, others with digital avatars,
While humanity battles age-old crises like starvationism.
When too much logic, coldness and pomposity set in,
Common sense humanity goes out of the window.
Once upon a time religion was the opium of all people,
Today transhumanism and singularity are opium of the shallow.
To replace the sky god with a computer god isn't advancement.
Real advancement is when nobody suffers from scarcity of sustenance.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans

“Transhumanism is terrorism, for it is the very antithesis of life. Wasting precious resources on a pompous, narcissistic and megalomaniacal dream of extending life through cold, mechanical means, instead of helping to improve genuine human condition, transhumanists act as modern day terrorists who desecrate the very spirit of life and liberty without ever being held accountable. Let me tell you as a brain scientist and a computer engineering dropout - transhumanism is to brain computer interface, what nuclear weapons are to nuclear physics.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans

“Silicon Psychos (The Sonnet)

If we cared more about the hard problem of real inhumanity,
And less about the fictitious hard problem of consciousness,
We'd have filled the world with human consciousness already,
Instead of still fighting for basic rights against base biases.
What kind of a moron goes walkabout when their home is on fire,
What kind of a moron abandons the living chasing life on silicon!
We really gotta take a hard look at our habits and priorities,
Dreaming is good, but dream devoid of life is but degeneration.
Chimps driving teslas are still chimps no matter the demagoguery,
All intelligence is disgrace if it's unaware of human condition.
A heartless organism living on silicon is no different,
From a heartless organism living in a carbon based human.
Be it crucifix or code, in savage hands every tool is weapon.
The wise use AI to design prosthetics, savages for transhumanism.”

“Now it seems that the nasty people are those who question the direction of our society, our loss of liberty, our submission to technology and domination of the security, industrial, military and pharmaceutical society (SIMP). We are living in the SIMP society and we are the Simpsons.”
― James Tunney, TechBondAge: Slavery of the Human Spirit

“Everywhere one can see the supply of soap-opera and extension of that scripted discourse into the political domain. By devoting our attention to the mainstream systems that seem to be miraculously harmonising across national boundaries in a similar fashion without distinctiveness or variation, we give more power to the deadening mono-cultural potency of tech-collectivism.”
― James Tunney, TechBondAge: Slavery of the Human Spirit

“We are giving power to people we do not know, for purposes we cannot prove, for exercise we cannot control while assuming they must be benign and beneficent without evidence and without scrutinising the circumstances of our blank cheque to them that we signed in the blood from relinquished control of our bodies. Giving the keys to the dungeon to these strangers in suits or jeans and white coats and expecting benevolence not evident in their belief system and rejected as irrelevant thereby, is the greatest common exercise in folly in human history.”
― James Tunney, TechBondAge: Slavery of the Human Spirit

“It is hard to determine whether the brazen brashness of the bureaucrats or toxic passivity of the public has been more shocking.”
― James Tunney, TechBondAge: Slavery of the Human Spirit

“They failed to see that globalisation was merely a tactic to prise power from nation states towards international conglomerates. Once the power was siphoned from the people and democratic control was circumvented, the ability to assert global governance without any democratic restraint was available.”
― James Tunney, TechBondAge: Slavery of the Human Spirit

“When bondage is built with billions of key strokes the death of freedom bit by bit may not be so obvious. The masters hold the keys to chains or networks, to the links and sites fashioned into our consciousness. While we may browse, it is as a domesticated animal.”
― James Tunney, TechBondAge: Slavery of the Human Spirit

“Unfortunately, people may choose the lesser evil until there are no lesser ones to choose and the power to resist has been lost to a great force comprising accumulations of millions of minute relinquishments and accommodations.”
