#cosmism — Public Fediverse posts

#TIL what #TESCREAL means. I'm impressed by the explanatory power of conceiving of this cluster of #ideologies as an #interconnected #aggregate which then get used to justify #harm

I feel like a lightbulb went on and that I understand the current state we're all in a bit better now.

Highly recommend starting with the @wikipedia article, which covers the #concept and some of the #criticism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TESCREAL

Thanks go to #Bhante #Sujato (https://sujato.me/) for making me aware of the term.

"Elon is dying to do this...

It makes me wonder why...
Does he want to get even more power?"

-》 I think at this point, I should point you to the dangerous family of sects (#TESCREAL) #Musk belongs to with his #Longtermism:

#Transhumanism, #Extropianism,
#Singularitarianism, #Cosmism,
#Rationalism,
#EffectiveAltruism, and #Longtermism.

#TESCREAL

All pretty unwieldy and #racist concepts by themselves, it gets even more complicated when they merge.
