(LifeSiteNews) — Tucker Carlson has criticized at the World Governments Summit (WGS) transhumanists who believe that they are God and “can create a better human being through technology.”
In a discussion at the 2024 World Governments Summit in Dubai, where Carlson talked about his viral interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the former Fox News anchor said that humility is a sign of wisdom and that transhumanists who think that “they are God” are “very dangerous” and “will get a lot of people killed.”
“Wisdom grows from the recognition that you are not God,” he said.
“And in the United States, we had a period where we were sort of having this debate about, are some religions good and some religions bad.”
“I’ll tell you my view on it, and it’s a hardened view. It’s a sincere view. I divide the world not between Muslim, Jew, and Christian, or Buddhist. I divide the world between people who believe they’re God and people who know they’re not,” Carlson continued.
“And the only people I trust are in the second category, because that is the beginning of wisdom. When you know you are not God, that you cannot affect every change that you want, [that] you can’t foresee the future, that you’re not omnipotent, then you are much more likely to make good decisions. Wise, humane decisions.”
“By contrast, when you believe you have the power to shape the world and other people, as we were hearing this morning through, you know, biohacking.”
“When you think you can create a better human being through technology, you’re very dangerous because you don’t understand your own limits, and you will get a lot of people killed,” he stated.
While Carlson did not specifically state who the subject of his critique was, it may have been World Economic Forum (WEF) founder and ardent transhumanist Klaus Schwab, who had spoken at the WGS earlier that day.
In his speech, Schwab announced “the transition of humankind into a new era,” an “Intelligent Age” in which “humankind will enjoy many more opportunities and possibilities.”
“Envisioning a future propelled by the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, we see a new dawn of human civilization — one that harmonizes technology with the deepest needs and aspirations of humanity,” the WEF founder stated.
“With this new intelligent age, technology is not merely a tool or an extension of human capabilities, it is a partner in shaping the world where every individual has the opportunity to reach their full potential,” he added.
Schwab also said, “We have to be prepared for a world where we see a fusion of our physical, our digital & our biological dimensions […], so it will be a New World.”

Tucker is right. Schwab’s fatal error is in not admitting the role God plays in human affairs. He wrongly thinks he can build his tower of Babel without God. That is most unwise since his Creator God will reckon with that.
