While it sounds like the stuff of a science fiction movie, it is a very real movement and field of study for scientists who believe that humanity is on the cusp of its next stage of evolution. And it once again reveals an attempt to reach immortality without the God of the Bible.
As the conference states on its own website:
The Global Future 2045 Congress is a nonprofit organization with the goal of creating a network community with the world’s leading scientists in the field of life extension and to support them as an investment hub, contributing to various projects.
The Congress objectives included:
- Presenting the newest developments in the fields of cognitive sciences, robotics, and modeling of living systems
- Evaluating the potential for transforming planetary civilization in light of the rapid pace of technological development
- Analyzing possible scenarios for the development of civilization in the context of new concepts regarding universal history, or “Big History”
- Discussing strategic problems arising in a dynamically changing world and the potential for the appearance of a global or cosmic mode of thinking. (source)
The conference, premised on the ideas of Ray Kurzweil, a scientist and entrepreneur who has been called “the rightful heir to Thomas Edison” for his innovations, which include CCD flat-bed scanner, the first omni-font optical character recognition, the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind, the first text-to-speech synthesizer, the first music synthesizer capable of recreating the grand piano and other orchestral instruments, and the first commercially marketed large-vocabulary speech recognition. Additionally, he also selected 2045 as the year the Singularity would become a reality.
GF2045 thus focused on “life-extension” technologies that would give a person the ability to keep living well past the time of death for their physical bodies.
To give an idea of some of the credentials of the people involved here is a sample:
Eric Chaisson -Professor of Astrophysics Harvard University, Board Member, IBHA.And many other academics, scientists, astronauts and investors comprise the main membership of this conference. This is not an assembly of fringe lunatics but serious academics and those dedicated to genuinely advancing humanity.
David Christian – President of the International Big History Association (D.Phil. Oxford, 1974)
Alexander Bolonkin – Astrophysicist, NASA Senior Research Fellow
Vladimir Pavlovsky – Chief scientific officer at the M.V. Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences
The video below, produced by the conference, outlines their goals of reaching the Singularity (we strongly recommend watching this to fully understand the goals of the conference and Singularity Theory
2045: A new era for Humanity
The video describes current society on the brink of disaster and basically wasting time on useless issues. And the answer is using robot/cyborg technology to “transfer one’s personality to an artificial carrier.” All for the “race for immortality.”And once achieved through cybernetic and nanotechnology, humanity can create “new ethics”, “new society” and a “new mankind” that, thanks to their own abilities and achievement, can live forever. And clearly this new civilization will not be doing any of this with the Bible or the God of the Bible.
