The Post-Human Era

We Have Crossed the Threshold

"Yesterday, a single statement shattered the illusion that we are in control of our own destiny. Ashley St. Clair, a political commentator and former Turning Point USA influencer, publicly declared that her child with Elon Musk was gene-edited using CRISPR and contains DNA from other species."

It was fake. But here's the thing... It's completely plausible. What if we took it as truth? Today.

This is not a science fiction novel. This is not a hypothetical debate on bioethics, transhumanism, or AI-driven evolution.

This is our reality.

Humanity is no longer the dominant species on Earth, or perhaps, in the galaxy. Something else is emerging—something designed, something optimized, something beyond us. And the terrifying part? No one is paying attention.

We have crossed the threshold into a post-human existence.

The Business of Building the Next Species

The groundwork for this moment was laid decades ago. The technology behind CRISPR and Neuralink did not appear overnight—it was engineered. Investors, venture capitalists, defence contractors, and clandestine research labs have been refining the tools to rewrite life itself.

Let’s be clear: The business of re-engineering humanity is not just a scientific pursuit—it's a multi-billion-dollar industry.

• CRISPR: The power to edit genes as easily as code has been in development since 2012. The first experimental human trials were not about curing disease—they were about enhancement.
• Neuralink: Musk’s company is not merely about assisting those with disabilities. It is a direct-to-market human augmentation experiment.
• AI-Driven Evolution: When AI intersects with biotechnology, we are no longer making decisions for ourselves. Machine learning algorithms determine optimal gene edits, enhanced cognitive functions, and physical modifications.

What we are witnessing is not a singular aberration—it is the convergence of business, technology, and evolution.

A new class of beings is being created. And we were never consulted.

I will share a personal, and unsubstantiated, story about my own experience with Peter Thiel, and humanity. I have had peripheral connections to him through companies and projects going back almost three decades. Every experience leaves you with a feeling like you stuck your hand into a sink with cold greasy dishwater, and you can't get it off your skin.

In the early 2000's I was working on a project developing green battery tech. Literally, breeding algae to produce energy in closed cell battery systems. It was really interesting theory, and tech, back then. The group that developed it was offered a buyout from Thiel's team, who invited them to join an event with others in their working groups.

They described how Thiel et al had bought massive cruise ships, and outfitted them with the most advanced labs, so they could do genetic testing that wouldn't be allowed under law.

They declined the offer, were disgusted and terrified from the experience on the ship, and have never told me what they actually experienced and witnessed. All I know is they refused to talk about it, and if it was brought up, they looked physically ill.

Thiel scooped the shareholders and the tech anyway, I haven't heard a word about it since.

*** These connections are speculative at best. There is no concrete evidence or reliable reporting suggesting that Thiel is actually involved in such activities. 

The Economics of Post-Humanism

This is not about conspiracy. It's about money.

Big Pharma, military contractors, and private research firms have been laying the foundation for this transition for decades. The goal was never to cure diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, or genetic disorders—it was to monetize the process of biological enhancement.

And the market for human augmentation is massive:

• Military Applications: The future soldier is not just equipped with exoskeletons and AI. They are genetically modified for enhanced endurance, night vision, and superior cognitive function.
• The Corporate Elite: Longevity startups and biotech firms are competing to sell lifespan extensions to the ultra-wealthy.
• The Consumer Market: The demand for “designer babies” will explode in the next decade. Why accept the genetic lottery when you can purchase the best possible version of your child?

The world’s elite are not merely investing in these technologies. They are implementing them.

And we, the unaugmented, are left behind.

A New Species Walks Among Us

What happens when a modified, enhanced, and optimized human meets an unedited one?

We are not entering an era of equality—we are entering an era of biological class warfare.

• The unmodified human will become obsolete.
• The enhanced elite will have access to superior intelligence, health, and physical abilities.
• The corporate overlords will control not just industry and finance, but the very blueprint of life itself.

Those who control the genome will control the world. And we are already past the point of no return.

This Is a One-Way Door

History is full of irreversible technological revolutions:

• The atomic bomb could not be uninvented.
• The internet permanently rewired society.
• Artificial Intelligence now shapes our decisions without us realizing.

But genetic augmentation? This is different.

There is no going back from a new species.

There is no world where post-humans and unedited humans co-exist as equals. One will dominate. One will be left behind.

The greatest lie we tell ourselves is that we still have a choice.

Where This Leads

Ask yourself: Who benefits from this future?

It's not the general public.

This is not a revolution led by the people. It is a transformation dictated by the elite, sold under the guise of “progress,” “health,” and “cure.”

• Your DNA will be patented.
• Your mind will be augmented.
• Your descendants will either be engineered or extinct.

Humanity, as we know it, is over.

The post-human era has begun.

And we are not alone.

The Time to Wake Up Was Yesterday

We have been asleep at the wheel while corporations, billionaires, and militaries have been redesigning the species in real-time.

The public’s silence is complicity. The greatest trick the post-human architects ever pulled was convincing the world that their work was simply theoretical.

It's not.

It is happening now.

And by the time most realize, it will already be too late.

They didn’t ask for your permission.

They edited the genes. They rewrote the code. They built a new species.

You are no longer the default. You are the control group.

The post-human era is here.

And you are not invited.
