In this thought-provoking episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron unpack the modern obsession with transhumanism, biohacking, and human optimization in light of Christian theology. Drawing on insights from Miroslav Volf and Renaissance thinker Pico della Mirandola, they explore why simply “being human” often feels insufficient in a secular age shaped by practical atheism. From AI hype to post-human ambitions, the discussion contrasts superficial technological efficiency with the biblical vision of fullness, meaning, and embodied life. For Christians wrestling with cultural trends that promise more control but deliver less soul, this is a timely conversation on what it truly means to be made in the image of God.
