In lieu of my usual intimate podcast, I present to you my rant in New York City about the decline of human dignity and the rise of cyborg theocracy. This talk was delivered off the cuff, but with more love and affection than a puppy dog playing with his new robot chew toy. I hope you enjoy it.

The prospect of digital gods is chilling. Personally, I am agnostic toward the idea.
Maybe the Super Computer Gods are on their way. Or maybe it’s just a poorly thought out sales pitch, like supernatural vaporware.
God only knows. What I do know is that new technoreligions are arising. As with the rise of any new religion, they will have profound impacts on the real world.
I caution you not to drink the Kool-Aid. Which is another way of saying, don’t take the iTrode.

And never trust a witch.
Our freedom in this life is limited.
Embrace it where you can, when you can.

In this episode, we’ll explore biodigital convergence and human evolution. Historically, we viewed ourselves as families, tribes, nations, and civilizations. None of that has changed on an instinctual level—not yet, anyway—but now there is a layer of digital culture laid on top of it all.This digital layer is absorbing our biological forms. Our devices monitor us, manipulate us, and ultimately move us toward some sort of metamorphosis. To what extent our legacy forms will survive this great transformation is yet to be seen.
Perhaps humans will be left behind like a chrysalis when the artificial butterfly flies away. Or maybe our souls will be painted on its wings.Or maybe we’ll stand back and watch a deformed biomechanical moth—a horrible mutant created by mad scientists—fly off into the sun and be burned to cinders.One can always dream. I know I do.

Race is a social construct, as are rivers and mountains. There is the actual thing—there are the borders dividing that thing from other things—and then there are ideas about the thing and its proper borders.
The river stops here, the sea begins there. The foothills end here, the mountain begins there.It’s important to have honest conversations about race. But probably not too honest, or else the people who feed on lies will have something nasty to say about you.In any case, this is a preliminary meditation on race that I will continue to its final conclusion next week. I hope you enjoy it, and if you are offended—well, you obviously don’t get out much.One World. One Tribe. One Love.One Blood.
Mostly.

On a country road to the big city. The views are gorgeous, but the sky looks dark up ahead.

Nothing captures our current state of postreality like Philip K. Dick, the Wakowski Siblings, and the inimitable Francis E. Dec with his screed “Master Race Frankenstein Radio Controls.”
The only thing more horrifying than finding out the entire cosmos is fake is to realize the false reality is all in your head.
You can hear Dec’s uncensored, ethnopsychotic meditation on race, robots, and religion here. (NSFW)
Stay sane, fellow hominids.
And remember the Ultimate Red Pill — the online Right’s most potent metaphor was invented by two transexual technognostics.

In this episode, we’ll go over the many visions of what a Singularity might be. That includes the psychedelic mystic Terrence McKenna, the quasi-Orthodox inventor Ray Kurzweil, the inverted Gnostic roboticist David Hanson, and the e/acc founder Guillaume Verdon—a.k.a., BasedBeffJezos.
For kick, we’ll add a taste of Ted Kaczynski, and to finish it off, the sci-fi writer Vernor Vinge. Oh yeah, and a guest appearance by our boy, Tay-arr Day-shar-dohh.
All their Hockey Sticks of Doom soar off in different directions. Yet all of them converge on the rise of a Machine coming into its own.This is a descent into lunacy. I hope you enjoy it.

In this first full episode, we’ll cover the Singularity’s origin in the ideas of the Jesuit priest and paleontologist Teilhard de Chardin. His concepts of the noosphere and the Omega Point had tremendous impacts—both as theories of technology and part of that inverted theology we now call “transhumanism.”Along the way, we’ll meet tech historian Lewis Mumford, the biologist Julian Huxley, and the sci-fi writer Vernor Vinge.
As for my redneck-attempting-a-Frenchman’s pronunciation of de Chardin’s name, what do you want me to do? Maybe next time I’ll do that jarring NPR accent where I talk American, then out of nowhere I inject “ta-co” or “ta-ma-les” like I’m friggin’ Speedy Gonzales.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this dive into the mind of Tay-harr de Char-doh.
