Critics of this ideology have ethical concerns. One prominent proponent of this idea is the Israeli historian Yuval Harari, whose non-fiction book Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow is a bestseller. They want to use technology to gain mastery over illness, ageing and even death. Transhumanists want to overcome biological and intellectual boundaries. Transhumanists seek to combine human resources and technology to bring about progress. It is based on the notion of optimising human beings through a combination of technology and science. Once upon a time, transhumanism was a non-political, philosophical school of thought.

Here, the twin narratives of the population being replaced and the Great Reset are folded into the new ideology, with conspiracy propagandists using the narrative surrounding transhumanism to flesh out the overarching concept of the Great Reset. Following on the heels of the “Great Replacement”, or the alleged efforts to replace the white population with migrants, and the “Great Reset”, a carefully orchestrated financial crash designed to create an oppressive new world order, transhumanism is the latest narrative to emerge from – and stoke the fires of – the scene. This is not the first time human beings have been threatened with replacement. The transhumanist conspiracy narrative purports that an evil financial elite is seeking to replace humanity with machines. It likely comes as little surprise that Magnet has written a book on the subject and is busy promoting it left, right and centre. The plan that Magnet allegedly uncovered is nothing more than the latest conspiracy narrative – one that can best be summed up in a single word: transhumanism. The alarming title of the video, which was posted on 12 November 2022, is “Deadly Agenda: The Plan Has Been Found Out!”. In the world of conspiracy ideologies, this sounds like a plausible argument. Why? “All the globalists care about is power and control” is how the far-right media activist Stefan Magnet kicked off his “special broadcast” on Auf1, a portal specialising in conspiracy ideologies.
