In a world where artificial intelligence is heralded as humanity’s next leap toward godhood, Senator Josh Hawley’s remarks at the National Conservatism Conference cut through the fervor with a sobering truth: the transhumanist vision driving AI’s rise threatens the very soul of the American republic. Hawley points to Julian Huxley, the eugenicist who, in 1957, prophesied a new era where “a few” elite humans would harness science to transcend human limits, directing evolution itself.
This ideology, Hawley warns, pulses through Silicon Valley’s tech barons today, who see AI not just as a tool for profit, but as a means to reinvent existence—elevating a select few while dismissing the worth of the common man. Their vision scorns human frailty, rejects the dignity of ordinary lives, and seeks to replace the labor of farmers, truckers, and workers with silicon perfection, eroding the liberty and vocations that define our nation.
Yet, Hawley insists this future is not inevitable. AI can serve humanity if we act decisively: guaranteeing meaningful work for all, securing personal data as property rights to combat Big Tech’s exploitation, enforcing strict protections against AI’s misuse—especially toward children—and empowering states to regulate without federal overreach. This is a fight to ensure technology upholds the American ideal of equality, not a new caste system ruled by self-anointed gods.

Joe Allen, the incisive transhumanism expert from Steve Bannon’s War Room and author of Dark Aeon: Transhumanism and the War against Humanity, takes the stage to unpack these stakes in his keynote, “How to Regulate a Digital Deity,” at the AI Summit on November 15, 2025, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm at the Washington Knights of Columbus, 1121 Columbus Lane, Washington, MO 63090.
As Allen warns, “Transhumanism is the great merger of humankind with the Machine. At this stage in history, it consists of billions using smartphones. Going forward, we’ll be hardwiring our brains to artificial intelligence systems. Ultimately, transhumanism is a spiritual orientation—not toward the transcendent Creator, but rather toward the created Machine.”
He demystifies AI’s reality—far from a divine force, it’s a technology with profound risks, from job displacement to spiritual erosion, noting that a sufficiently advanced AI could “blow humans away at calculation, persuasion, deception, replication, machine control, resource acquisition, institutional organization, military strategy, and pretty much any task it’s trained to perform.”
Allen emphasizes that “Human beings will be forced—as a matter of survival—to merge with the superintelligent machines they’ve created,” but cautions against this path, highlighting how “The real conflict isn’t between machines and humans. Not really. It’s between those who say yes to a man-machine merger and those who say no.”
He offers a clear-eyed roadmap for legislation that curbs its dangers while preserving human dignity, echoing Hawley’s call to make AI serve people, not elites. At bottom, Allen asserts, “this is spiritual warfare,” urging us to recognize the techno-religious belief system infusing these devices and to resist the covert war on our very nature.
