Carl Teichrib is a Canadian researcher, writer, and lecturer who has spent more than two decades documenting the ideological and spiritual currents reshaping Western civilization—with particular attention to transhumanism, globalism, and the re-enchantment of secular culture. He is the author of Game of Gods: The Temple of Man in the Age of Re-Enchantment (2018) and served as editor of Forcing Change, a research journal tracking transformative movements in politics, religion, and technology.
Teichrib’s work is rooted in on-the-ground investigation: he has attended and reported on events ranging from Burning Man to world federalist conferences to transhumanist gatherings, bringing an ethnographic sensibility to ideological terrain that most commentators treat from a distance. His research focuses on the convergence of technological aspiration, spiritual seeking, and political vision—the overlapping currents through which humanity is, in various ways, reaching for transcendence.
Writing from an evangelical Christian perspective, Teichrib approaches transhumanism critically, as a symptom of a deeper human longing that he believes is being misdirected. That diagnosis differs from a Mormon transhumanist reading, which holds that the longing itself—for greater intelligence, longer life, expanded capacity, and participation in divine creative work—is genuine and worth pursuing through rigorous, ethical, technologically-engaged means. Still, Teichrib’s careful documentation of transhumanist aspirations, his recognition that the movement addresses real spiritual hunger, and his insistence that ideas about human transformation carry profound moral weight make him a serious interlocutor for anyone thinking carefully about where humanity is headed and why.
