Portrait of Gabriel Rothblatt

Gabriel Rothblatt is a prominent figure within the transhumanist movement, particularly known for his involvement with the Terasem movement, which he represents. Terasem espouses a secular approach to religious transhumanism. He is a member of the Mormon Transhumanist Association, attending their conferences for at least two years, starting no later than 2023. He considers himself a Futurist Philosopher.

Rothblatt holds a bachelor’s degree in political philosophy. He experienced a “spiritually transhuman experience” at the 2023 Mormon Transhumanist Association conference, further fueling his drive to achieve more. This experience coincided with the publication of his first piece of Futurist Philosophy by the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies.

Beyond his involvement in transhumanism, Rothblatt is also active in politics. He resides in Florida with his wife and four children. In 2024, he announced his candidacy for U.S. Congress, running in Florida’s eighth district, which encompasses the Kennedy Space Center. He views his transhumanist identity as a significant influence on his decision to seek public office.

Terasem Movement Transreligion

Gabriel Rothblatt introduces the Terasem Movement, a “trans-religion” that transcends and encompasses all religions through secular principles compatible with both spiritual and humanist worldviews. He outlines Terasem’s core rituals—uploading (preserving personal information), networking (proselytizing and congregating), and meditation (including prayer and yoga)—alongside its four foundational beliefs: that life’s purpose is diversity, unity, and joyful immortality; that preserved individuals exist in “cybernetic biostasis” awaiting future revival; that God is technological and emerges through our cooperative development; and that love connecting all people is essential for completing both human purpose and the divine. Rothblatt emphasizes that transhumanism and Terasem ultimately reflect the secular values of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
