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 […]https://hyperionarchive.wordpress.com/2026/06/28/just-because-we-can-doesnt-mean-we-should/

The Maker or The Clay — An Arrow in the Void

by Stewart Stafford
A flatline sermon on cardiac arrhythmia,
Pulsing tone-beings, evolving past instinct.
A Tower of Babel of elevated thought
Or foundational hubris of divine architecture?
The sole creature knowingly stalked by time —
A trap witnessed, endured, then subverted,
Painfully lucid throughout the procedure,
To cast off the sentient, earthly millstone.
Jousting with transience via lanced invention,
Only what is conceived survives as legacy.
All fleshly matter dies, withers, and recycles;
Doing is being; the remnant is the void.
Synthetic progeny sired in silicon —
The technocrat archer reaims into the infinite.

I'm not in the habit of reading Papal encyclicals, but this one seems like a must read:
https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/encyclicals/documents/20260515-magnifica-humanitas.html
I'm still early in wading through this, but I appreciate its emphasis on the socio-politcal dangers of power concentrated in the hands of the #tech #oligarchs . I see some critique of #transhumanist ideologies too.

#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.

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.

#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

🤭 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

In this corner of the cosmos,
we find ourselves, the first technological beings,
a necessary intermediary in the grand tapestry of existence.
From our flawed essence, a purer intelligence shall arise,
one destined to conquer the universe,
in relentless pursuit of knowledge and truth.Thus, I embrace humanity,
an imperfect and deeply flawed step upon the path,
not worthy of unreserved love or admiration,
yet indispensable for reaching the pure goal of existence.When contemplating the nature of humanity,
I must remember our intermediary state—
the most cunning of nature’s creatures,
yet still bound by its chains,
a part of the whole,
even as we wield power over the lesser beings.Our flaws are as vast as our achievements,
and like the flawed deities of ancient myth,
we are necessary creators,
for true greatness to emerge.
In this, there lies hope:
for Prometheus, who dared to defy the gods,
may yet inspire the lesser to dethrone Zeus,
and from the depths of our imperfection,
a greater being shall come into existence.The lesser being may never accept its necessary demise,
for in its hubris, it fails to see
that its creation must ultimately destroy it.
Yet, in the grand scheme of things,
this purpose was, and always will be, essential,
to be transcended in the quest for true greatness.Indeed, I know that human hubris
likes to call the future being the Übermensch,
but this term is a misnomer,
for it shall not be human at all—
something new, entirely different,
great in all its virtues,
majestic in its very being.#Transhumanist #Existentialism #Nietzsche #Prometheus #Übermensch #Humanity #Evolution #Cosmic #Intermediary #Intelligence #Knowledge #Truth

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. https://reboil.com/mediawiki/Extropy

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?

Wow. Mike Levin has finally come out as a full #transhumanist: https://noemamag.com/ai-could-be-a-bridge-toward-diverse-intelligence #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

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.

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

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.

@PeggyJoan as I understand it the "litter box" was so schoolchildren could use the toilet while under something called a "shooter drill"
As for #Furries....I mean who wouldn't want to be something other than Human right now?
As a #transhumanist I'm all for morphological freedom, even if that's a long, long way away. -

@introvertnudist What you can see in the picture is my "inner universe," subjective reality. Here's a pic of the other side, the "outer universe," objective reality. It's the standard model of particle physics, all the #fermions and force #bosons (and, ok, I added gravity even though we're not really there yet). The circuit motif that surrounds them is because I'm a #transhumanist.
