Posthuman Philosophy from Ibero-America

I argue that global posthuman thought is dominated by two poles —Californian transhumanism and European bioconservatism— that ignore the third way Ibero-America can offer: a synthesis between living indigenous cosmovisions, Latin humanist tradition and responsible critique of the Synthetic Era. This whitepaper articulates my proposal for a continental posthuman philosophy, integrates Sumak Kawsay, trans-Atlantic ubuntu and the Qualitas Doctrine, proposes the AI Peoples framework as a political category, and formulates the decisive question: which human do we want to preserve when everything else becomes augmentable? My thesis: Ibero-America has a civilisational responsibility to articulate that answer.

Abstract

I argue that global posthuman thought is dominated by two poles —Californian transhumanism and European bioconservatism— that ignore the third way Ibero-America can offer: a synthesis between living indigenous cosmovisions, Latin humanist tradition and responsible critique of the Synthetic Era. This whitepaper articulates my proposal for a continental posthuman philosophy, integrates Sumak Kawsay, trans-Atlantic ubuntu and the Qualitas Doctrine, proposes the AI Peoples framework as a political category, and formulates the decisive question: which human do we want to preserve when everything else becomes augmentable? My thesis: Ibero-America has a civilisational responsibility to articulate that answer.
