Boring little book written by someone who cannot communicate her subject clearly.
It concerns the many White scientists who believe Whites will someday progress beyond their bodies and their feelings towards becoming beings of pure intellect. None seem to realize that this sad state of affairs will give them little to actually think about.
The issue here is the usual White supremacist wishful-thinking concerning ultimate power - along with a freedom from the bonds of messy and imperfect being humans. Like Christians, such people hate everything that makes us human, like sex and love and passion; sacrificing these in favor of political dominion over the universe. You have to wonder what kinds of childhood such control-freaks had, don’t you?
Ultimately, these so-called scientists are simply frightened of dying and wish to abolish it - at least in their own minds. They see science as the natural heir to, and destroyer of, religion in their fantasies of human immortality and omniscience. Rather than abolishing the need for religion, they have simply made science a new religion to be worshipped - without question. Idealism, not as a means of changing the world, but of running away from it. Science as a slave for pressing current human problems on the Earth that scientists are running away from. Such scinentific mystics are offering salvation from earthly suffering by posing as omniscient technogods. Such scientific contempt for the human body is trying to render science as its own self-worshiping religion.
