Becoming Gods: Theosis, Telos, and Transhumanism

Should humans be like God? Of course, yes! In what way? Should we adopt new technologies for the sake of transforming our bodies into a new techno-humanity? Some call this transhumanism, and according to our guest, Wyatt Graham, to understand transhumanism we must understand Fredrich Niche. In this episode we navigate the difference between becoming God and becoming like God, receiving our humanity rather than altering it.
