« Many intellectuals, like Jacques Attali, want a world government, I think that is. `...` A single decision centre could lead to a totalitarian system, since no one could escape it. It is vital to maintain several geopolitical poles in order to guarantee ideological competition. The need for counter-powers and pluralism is necessary for biopolitics as well as for traditional politics today. You have to be able to run somewhere! `...` A world where the regulation of science and the brain would be decided on a global scale would leave no way out. In the event of a totalitarian slippage in neuroscience, where could one go into exile? There would no longer be any space not subject to the central neurobiotechnological power. This is indeed a nightmare for our freedoms. `Laurent Alexandre` »

« Transhumanism is the final stage in the evolution of religious thought, which has gone through three stages. First, the polytheisms, a logical continuation of shamanism, which culminated under the Romans and Greeks. Then the monotheism of the religions of the Book. Today emerges a third age: the god-man. For transhumanists, Serge Gainsbourg's quip - "Men created God, the opposite remains to be proven" - is a no-brainer. God does not yet exist: he will be the man of tomorrow, endowed with almost infinite powers thanks to the NBICs. Man will realize what only the gods were supposed to be able to do: create life, modify our genome, reprogram our brains and euthanize death. `Laurent Alexandre` »

« In fact, early bridges appear between transhumanism and religion: the Dalai Lama is passionate about neurotheology and the cerebral control of religious feelings. Is Buddhism the intermediate religion before the transhuman era? `Laurent Alexandre` »
