  1. #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 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TESCREAL

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

  2. Just Because We Can, Doesn’t Mean We Should

    I like to keep up to date on what’s going on with our current twin tech pillars of the “space race” and the “A.I. race”. There hasn’t really been any significant technological breakthroughs that have captured the popular imagination quite like these since the advent of the internet in the 1990’s. On the one hand, it’s very exciting to think about colonising the Moon and Mars, and then going off into the unknown. Likewise, it’s also exciting to think of all of the possible […]

  3. #FarEight will hyper focus on the beheading of #Jesus, not #genocide in #Palestine, of course. #Transhumanist #Evangalists & #Groypers are already saying # #Israel is to blame for a war with #Iran that they didn't want. They are just going through the motions of rationalizing their #Antisemitism.

  4. it's safe to say that "the much smaller market of #transhumanist funeral rites" was not a sentence i ever expected to see in my life

    i feel like i owe the #EpsteinFiles a heavy debt for exposing me to these kinds of literary experiences.

  5. #AlteredCarbon, the book, not the watered-down #Netflix series, is one of my favourite #SciFi #DarkFuture #Cyberpunk #Transhumanist works. #ThinAir, also by #RichardKMorgan, is another one I've already started reading; time for another go! A socio-politically charged #thriller set on Mars… #booksky

  6. When his #nonbinary #cyborg friend Carrie and the #transhumanist church they go to comes under fire from a gang of right-wing #antitech #luddite activists, #ya #teen #hero Jack Dinero and his father must rally the small town of Creosote Canyon, #Arizona to stop the violence and make some bizarre new friends along the way.

  7. 🤭 the transhumanist cybernetic Übermensch replacement theory; don’t think MAGA qualify for that. Being hung up on trans and whatnot? The automated control of information processing and its final solution, eliminate the people! #transhumanism #transhumanist #broligarchs #FascistTech

  8. My "#Queer, #Transgender, and #Transhumanist Themes in #Transformation Media" Panel starts at the end of the hour.

  10. Heart-in-mouth as I publicly share new non-academic writing/ voice / identity through personal experiences of early #menopause via a “blog” called Menopassé. open.substack.com/pub/mayameme
    My most recent post is about #transhumanist ideals appearing through HRT. open.substack.com/pub/mayameme

  11. By the way, I'm going to be doing at least two panels at the online #Transformation themed #ShifterCon on October 26 (Saturday in a couple weeks).

    #Transgender / #Queer / #Transhumanist themes in Transformation Literature and #TextBased #RPG / #Adventure #Games about Transformation.

    Attendance and watching the streams will be free, so keep an eye out!

    (Also, if anyone wants to come on and present or be on the Q&A part of these panels with me, I have open seats)

  12. I stumbled upon a GitHub repo with all 17 issues of Extropy magazine, a #transhumanist publication from 1988/1996. I couldn't find a list of article names and authors, so I made one. reboil.com/mediawiki/Extropy

  13. The #transhumanist fantasy isn't that uploads will work, it's that your brain is worth anything. Uploaded minds are a cost sink. Why would yours be worth maintaining?

  14. Wow. Mike Levin has finally come out as a full #transhumanist: noemamag.com/ai-could-be-a-bri #TESCREAL

    I'm not sure "most of us think this way about the world we want for our kids"... at least I don't. Not at all. I find this toxic optimist "vision" utterly naive & disgusting. /1

  15. I know how to do shit like mixing Styrofoam and gasoline
    I know how to edit DNA as im developing the tools and about certain biotech
    I know how to make a mini rocket engine
    I know how you can use microwave components with powerful lasers and high voltage electronics
    I can 3D print
    I know hypnosis
    And I know how to leave this vessel partially
    I can make shit go boom
    Also I can repair computers and electric scooters in this realm

    Everything I run is rooted or modified in some way

    Hack the world and if it can't be modified make it so

  16. Gennady Stolyarov II discusses radical life-extension, social & political activism, today's revolution in Artificial Intelligence & prospects of a future Technological Singularity. FULL INTERVIEW: youtu.be/EzqiIcMb6D0

  17. There’s another dimension to AI revulsion:

    LLMs, properly applied, are a cognitive prosthetic.

    In other words, we’re encountering a commercial bid for a #transhumanist project with mass impact

    Now THIS is genuinely scary stuff, because to become cognitively dependent on a corporate-owned extension of the mind is to cede significant power to people who genuinely do not deserve it.

  18. I'm in a mood and desire to get back into #philosophy

    Any recommendations for modern #anarchist #leftist #technology #transhumanist #Marxist #egoism #nature #antifascist #history #historyofideas #epicurean #nuclear #ageofinformation #internet #Christianity #Atheist #computersciene

    Books? I'd really like a modern take on egoism that isn't saturated in fascist/libertarian thought because I personally think it makes more sense in a leftist context than individualist mythos

  19. I'm Siv. I live, work, create, and activate in #Lansing, #Michigan, #USA.

    I believe effective #praxis toward global #MutualAid society must center #economic #justice and #healing traumas in the human #psyche. Cultural violence is a durable response to #scarcity.

    I help run the services and facilities of the #praxisdotred #tech #collective and #hacker house, such as this #mastodon instance.
