Upgrading humans into GODS will be the next ‘billion dollar industry’ expert claims

Expert said today’s humans will become obsolete within the next 60 years

Humans will transform themselves into ‘gods’ with technology upgrades 

But because the technology will be expensive, not everyone will be able to do so

Will cause a divide with old racists idiologies, but the differences are engineered

The next billion dollar industry will not be a service or product – it will be upgrading humans, an expert has revealed.

It has been suggested that humans will have access to technology that will allow them to ‘upgrade themselves into gods’.

Bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari has also warned that because not everyone will be able to experience the upgrade, due to costs, there will be a divide that could spark ‘old racist ideologies’ –  but this time, differences will be ‘engineered and manufactured’.

The next billion dollar industry will not be a service or product – it will be upgrading humans, an expert has revealed. It has been suggested that technology will let humans ‘upgrade themselves into gods’, but since the process will be costly, not everyone will have the ability to do so

‘The greatest industry of the 21st century will probably be to upgrade human beings,’ Harari, who explores bleak future of humanity and ‘the rise of the useless class’ in his novel Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, told Jeremy Olshan with MarketWatch.

‘When we think about the future we generally think about a world in which people who are identical to us in every important way enjoy better technology: laser guns, intelligent robots, and spaceships that travel at the speed of light,’ Harari shared on his website.

‘Yet the revolutionary potential of future technologies is to change Homo sapiens itself, including our bodies and our minds, and not merely our vehicles and weapons.’

‘The most amazing thing about the future won’t be the spaceships, but the beings flying them.’

THE RICH WILL BECOME ‘GOD-LIKE CYBORGS,’ HISTORIAN PREDICTS

Last year Harari argued that the world will experience a radical shift in the next 200 years.

Using biotechnology and genetic engineering, Professor Harari claimed the wealthy will transform into a new type of divine, immortal human with complete power over life and death.

He argued that the rich are set to become God-like cyborgs in what could be the ‘biggest evolution in biology’ since life emerged.

During a recent speech at the Hay Literary Festival in Wales, Professor Harari said, ‘We are programmed to be dissatisfied,’ The Telegraph reported.

‘Even when humans gain pleasure and achievements it is not enough. They want more and more.

‘I think it is likely in the next 200 years or so homo sapiens will upgrade themselves into some idea of a divine being, either through biological manipulation or genetic engineering of by the creation of cyborgs, part organic part non-organic.

The technology to do this, however, will be restricted to the very wealthy, claims Professor Harari.

Up until now, he says society has been held together by inventing ‘fictions’, such as religion, money and the idea of fundamental human rights.

As long as humans believed they relied more and more on these gods they were controllable, he said

‘But what we see in the last few centuries is humans becoming more powerful and they no longer need the crutches of the Gods.’

Bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari   has also warned that there will be a divide which could spark ‘old racist ideologies’ – but this time, differences will be ‘engineered and manufactured’

‘Humans are going to upgrade themselves into gods.’

‘That is, humans will acquire abilities that in the past were considered divine, such as eternal youth, mind reading, and the ability to engineer life.’

And although these ideas may sound far fetched or something from a science fiction film, tech giants of the world are already working towards making it a reality.

Google has a division that focuses solely ‘overcoming death’, Harari noted.

But, just because an upgrade boom is predicted, it doesn’t mean everyone will experience it…. read more here
