Jeffrey Epstein, a Narcissistic Transhumanist

Transhumanism is a solipsistic social movement that sometimes borders on the narcissistic. Adherents think they are so important that they should live forever. They want license to genetically enhance their offspring and to redesign the human race into a “post-human” species made in their own image.

Transhumanism isn’t fringe. To the contrary, it has become quite the elite phenomenon. Hundreds of millions go into transhumanist technological research. Some of the biggest names in the tech world are devotees, such as Google’s Ray Kurzweil and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The movement is furthered at elite universities, with — as just one example — bioethicists seriously discoursing about whether AI robots or cyborgs should be granted human-type rights. For some, it is a substitute for religion, offering hope in the wasteland of materialist existential futility.

Apple News Bans Pro-Life Outlet for ‘Showing Intolerance’ Though No Explanation Was Given

According to LifeSite itself, Apple News initially approved the outlet and agreed to aggregate their news pieces on the Apple platform. Just a week later, however, the pro-life website was banished.

Why?

Well, according to a notification issued by Apple, the group “didn’t comply with Apple News guidelines” and publishes content which “shows intolerance towards a specific group.”
