Normalizing the Posthuman

I’m reading the program of my conference, and the word “posthuman” appears twice un 3 pages of sparse text. I don’t need to hear these talks (yet again) to know that “posthuman” in them means “yippee amazing.”

I hope everybody has gotten over the “it’s only happening on college campuses, so who cares” hangup from 10 years ago and takes notice of what it is we are being habituated to.

Exclusionary Inclusion

With zero self-awareness, “empathy” and “inclusion” became the rallying cry for a ruthless global network and its exalted “equality” caste. Like a poisonous algae bloom taking over a pond, this new rainbow ethnos excludes and attacks anyone who challenges their “diversity” dogmas. It is One World Altruism that unleashes furious minorities when needed.

Joe Allen, Dark Æon

We all know that “inclusion” and “diversity” stand for exclusion and monotony. But this is a particularly enjoyable way of expressing our disgust with this system.

My Candidate

Finally, I have somebody to vote for.

By the way, has Trump selected a running mate yet? I have a feeling it will be somebody even more pathetic than Kamala, as impossible as that sounds.

Dreams Come True

“You read half of this thick book in one day?!?” N exclaimed. “You are an incredibly fast reader.”

“Not really,” I said. “This is a dense text, and I’ve only been doing 30 pages an hour. But I read for over 8 hours today.”

Mutant Millionaires

Another evening brings another quote from Dark Æon. This one is long to give you a chance to appreciate the sheer sumptuousness of this book:

Our planet’s luxury class is overrun by mutant millionaires with an obnoxious superiority complex. They begin incorporating machinery into their bodies. They turn cyborg chic into high fashion, and persecute anyone who points out the emperor has no brainwaves. They create digital zombies of their personalities which replicate and spread across the internet like animate NFTs. Once tech corporations roll out AGI prototypes that are sufficiently convincing, they declare the Singularity is at hand. They act as though their computers have godlike power, and expect the rest of us to play along. They send out SpaceX Starships and phallic Blue Origin rockets in an effort to seed the solar system with their pseudo-gnosis. Meanwhile, we legacy humans have either lost our jobs to automation or have AI bots micromanaging our work. Our movements are tracked by mass surveillance devices. For anyone whose gametes aren’t swallowed up by the sexbot eugenic filter, their children are taught a “Universal Story” by chatbot tutors. These one-on-one instructors will also monitor the new generation’s brain development, personal tastes, and behavioral patterns. The resulting digital twins are used for both AI training and elaborate social engineering programs.

I’m luxuriating in this book, already sad for the moment when it will end.

Workshop on Anti-Semitism

There’s going to be a workshop on anti-Semitism on campus. I signed up and I hope they won’t teach us how to be better anti-Semites.

Decolonize Yourself

Our university (and the federal government) invests money into researching proving that DEI exists in other countries. These are the same people who want to decolonize the university, which is an irony they are intellectually incapable of noticing.

Self-righteous over DoorDash

People on Twitter have been self-righteous over ordering food on DoorDash for days. Both the supporters and the detractors of the practice have reached extraordinary heights of self-righteousness on the issue. I suspect some of them cried because of how touched they were by the sense of their extreme virtue of either ordering or not ordering in DoorDash. You’d think they are fresh off saving a bunch of babies from dying in a flood based on how messianic they feel over their position regarding DoorDash.

I’ll give only one example but there are dozens of them:

They go on and on like that. It’s one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen.

The Virtue of the Stupid

I respect Murray for his work but here he’s talking out of his butt. It’s an age-old fantasy of intellectuals that “simple folks” are more virtuous than the not-so-simple and have access to some sort of innate wisdom. In the 19th century, Russian revolutionaries called themselves “narodniki” (or “peoplists”) and would join “the people” in miserable villages to find true values and a revolutionary spirit. Needless to say, they found nothing but bovine resignation amidst outrageously disgusting daily habits and deeply perverted sexual mores. Narodniki themselves were beacons of clean living amongst these brutes.

Solzhenitsyn mocked the intelligentsia’s quest for virtue among the IQ-deprived in his novel The First Circle. The ultra-intellectual protagonist finally manages to join “simple folks” and, to his horror, discovers that the congenitally stupid are just as nasty, pathetic and vicious as the brilliant. The only difference is that they are more easily scared and more subservient.

There is no”indigenous way of learning.” There’s no alternative math and no easy, “natural” virtue. Murray is moved by the same feeling of guilt that animates Leftists to come up with “sacred indigenous wisdom.”

Intelligence doesn’t make you a good person. Neither does stupidity. But guilt will turn you into a liar, and that’s not a virtue.

Even More Dark Æon

One WEF-trained technocrat, Parag Khanna, envisions this nascent “Civilization 3.0” as a single planetary body.

“Connectivity, not sovereignty, has become the organizing principle of the human species,” Khanna told an adoring TED crowd in 2016. “North America does not need more walls. It needs more connections.” Appearing at the Skift Global Forum five years later, he spoke as a true Davos Man. “We’ve gone from the Great Lockdown to the Great Reset, and soon we’ll have the Great Migration,” he declared proudly. “I believe we will go from nearly zero migration in 2020 to a resorting of billions of people in the unfolding post-pandemic era.”

How do global leaders maintain peace and safety amid this engineered chaos? Digital intelligence coupled with technocratic systems of behavioral control and the robotic Greater Replacement.
