Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) delivered a stirring critique of the transhumanism movement at the National Conservatism Conference, denouncing it as an elitist ideology aimed at replacing ordinary human life. He condemned transhumanism\u2019s pursuit of transcending natural human limits\u2014mortality, frailty, common laws\u2014as inherently contemptuous toward everyday Americans. Hawley warned that proponents ultimately seek to \u201creplace the common with something else,\u201d undermining society’s most basic values. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hawley unleashed a sharp rebuke of how Big Tech has eroded personal liberty. He highlighted how smartphones addict children, social media platforms track every click and pause, and algorithms commoditize our attention for profit\u2014all happening without genuine consent. It\u2019s a synthetic world masquerading as progress, he argued\u2014one that robs people of privacy and agency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To reclaim humanity, Hawley proposed several bold reforms. He said vocational purpose must matter; Americans should have meaningful, dignified work\u2014not just drudgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also emphasized restoring personal sovereignty over data. Hawley called for legally assigning property rights to personal information and holding corporations accountable for its misuse. Alongside this, he advocated for full repeal of Section\u202f230 to reopen court access for those whose rights have been trampled by unchecked tech power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In closing, Hawley reaffirmed his vision for a future rooted in liberty: \u201cWe the People-powered flight changed travel… but you can\u2019t land a plane on a driveway.\u201d Technology should empower\u2014not enslave\u2014the American individual. It\u2019s time to demand AI and digital innovation serve humanity, not replace it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
