philosopher · 4 mentions across 1 reading

In this course

Torres appears primarily as a critical analyst of the TESCREAL bundle—a genealogy linking transhumanism, effective altruism, singularitarianism, and related movements—who traces how eugenic thinking persists within these ostensibly progressive AI and optimization communities. The readings use his work to document how second-wave eugenic methodologies and discriminatory attitudes underlie much contemporary transhumanist and AI-focused discourse, establishing a genealogy of ideological continuity that complicates narratives of technological utopianism.
