Brilliant article by @timnitGebru and @xriskology on the constituent right-wing ideologies in #bigtech. They are connected to #transhumanism, endorse the use of emerging technologies to โenhanceโ humanity & create a new โposthumanโ species.
No surprise that their common genealogy goes back to first-wave #eugenics.
Also no surprise that fuckups like Charles Murray, Linda Gottfredson & Peter Singer are masterminds of those utilitarian movements & their obsession w/ IQ tests
