A second-generation Mormon transhumanist reflects on growing up in the MTA community and calls members to move beyond speculation toward active engagement in building Zion. The speaker reads from the Mormon Transhumanist Affirmation and challenges listeners to consider what stands between them and their divine potential—whether better health, education, or charity. Drawing on Richard Bushman’s concept of “irradiant Mormonism,” the talk encourages members to leverage their diverse talents in service, career, and charitable giving, pointing to resources like 80,000 Hours and Effective Altruism for practical guidance.
