Transhumanism

I need a more extreme shocked emoticon. This article, and this guy's other works are really eye opening. I fully agree with what he's saying.

Clearly the occultists are pushing transhumanism, virtual reality, trannyism, genetic modifications, and everything else as an expression of their heathen beliefs and worldview. He says they think these things enable them to be like gods in their own lives. Many advocates of these technologies have come from an explicitly atheist or magical/Satanist worldview and motivations. Therefore, we should resist it.

However at the end, he points out there is a continuum in all things. He asks if we should smash our smart phones and head for the hills. He says if we do, we'll need to take our store bought coats, and probably store bought food, or at least take store bought gear to grow, hunt, and prepare our food. He says to some extent, words on a computer tablet are just an extrapolation of marks cut into a clay tablet with a stylus. We have to use technology, and technology is not evil in and of itself.

I'll have to think about how this works, and do my best to cleanse my life of some of these occultist technologies. I think I'm free of most of them. I'm not into the metaverse, and certainly don't want anything to do with trannies, but I would be willing to play a VR video game if I found a good one. I have worked with training simulators before, and I don't see these as demonic. You're just using them to train a skill, it's not like trying to be your own god and create your own meta-reality.

I will say that once you see how the occultists equate these transhumanist things with being their own gods, then it is much clearer why they are doing a lot of the things they do in the world. I'll have to watch for instances on this, and think through the consequences of this. I don't want to participate in the schemes of these globohomo atheist/satanic occultists, but I still live in the world, and am free to use technology for righteous and useful purposes. However, in some cases, there may be technologies that I could use righteously, but I should avoid them just to avoid giving an evil appearance.

It's like the passage in 1 Corinthians 8:1-11, where Paul discusses eating food that has been offered to idols. He says that in reality, there are no other gods, and these idols are nothing, so the food is still perfectly fine after having been offered to idols. Offering food to idols has no meaning in reality. However, he says some people might think it does, and think it is important that Christians not do this. Paul says for their sakes, it is better not to eat the food offered to idols, and more generally to avoid being a stumbling block to anyone else, such that your works or behavior throw them off in their path with Christ in God.

I think there are many uses for technology that are perfectly wholesome, right down to using a lever or a wheel. However, I think some of these technologies clearly have occultist aspects that I was not as clearly aware of before. I will now watch for these and avoid them.

I don't know exactly where this belongs, if it needs its own thread or what, but there is this podcast episode -


Interview of Mary Harrington, start at the 26 minute mark. My rough notes on it:

War on relationships - working hypothesis - War on spontaneous social interactions which are not regulated by the market.

...it's about destroying organic personal relationships between people, except those which can be regulated by the market.

There is a concerted effort to discourage men and women to just meet and fall in love - when women can just sign up to Only Fans and monetize themselves.

Rewiring all our basic desires in the interests of profit.

Once you start seeing the war on relationships, you can't unsee it.

The whole covid thing, everything which was banned, eg singing together. Everything which was permitted, eg going to the office. Only place you were permitted to continue interacting was where money was concerned.
_______________________

The whole podcast is worth a listen but especially from that 26 minute mark. I look with great suspicion now on automated supermarket checkout and even more, the attempt to bring in a QR code based restaurant menu to replace the paper menu and waiter! ...so in the end people have even less social skills and are even more lonely and isolated.

So not sure if this is "transhumanism" as such.. Certainly about the dark side of what Silicon Valley companies and other innovations have brought to the world.

Here's a somewhat relevent article.


Also two more articles about how transhumanism is a soul trap. In essence, the conflict is between discarding the body in order to live forever as a soul vs discarding the soul in order to live forever as a robot. Examining transhumanism from a spirituality perspective.

Computers should be used in the service of humans. But it is easy to see that with brain implant chips, the powers of this world could easily build in backdoors to control the implanted. With some clever programming this backdoor will be very hard to discover.

This seems to be part of the trans-humanism agenda going on. While briefly mentioned elsewhere in threads, I wanted to pick it up again.

"FUNVAX" (Fundamental Vaccine): the US government plan to suppress the VMAT2 gene, the gene that allows humans to have a spiritual connection with the Divine. The plan was to aerosolize this and release it over highly religious communities around the world. Not sure if it was ever implemented, or if it's still in the works.

Thoughts on the ABBA "live return"?


I wouldn't be able to get excited about this. A bit like clapping at the cinema.

Next step: we're not far away from putting on a headset and "attending" at the concert from your pod. Maybe you'll also get a personal introduction to Agnetha afterwards (or Bjorn for those that way inclined?).

I wasn’t sure if this should be in a different thread, but:


A whistle-blower at Google is claiming that the company has sentient AI. Of course Google, the most trustworthy and ethical company on earth, denies the claims. Demonic influence?

Edit: Don’t worry, CNN is here to assuage all fears:

The future is now

Aldous Huxley - The visions of a visionary and his family.

by Robert Malone, Sept 17

The video below was filmed in 1958, when Aldous Huxley was 64 years old. It is a fascinating interview, led by Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes fame. The dialogue between the two men gives a glimpse into how elements of the future we live in now were planned long in advance. When I first watched this video, I thought to compile the interesting and more salient dialogue into a much shorter video. But in the end, I felt that the whole film was important; that the linearity of Huxley’s thoughts are worth viewing in their entirety.

About Aldous Huxley and why he matters.

Aldous Huxley
was born in 1894 in Surrey, England and died in Los Angeles, California in 1963. His life spanned vast technological and cultural changes, and he wrote extensively on these subjects. Huxley’s writings are known for their dark wit and satire. But more than that, his hellish visions of society have been both visionary and relentlessly blunt in their projections of a totalitarian world gestalt and the structure of the future technological governance which he foresaw. In 1932, he wrote the classic SyFy novel, Brave New World. The novel that literally changed the world.
Brave New World is a dystopian novel by English author Aldous Huxley, written in 1931 and published in 1932. Largely set in a futuristic World State, inhabited by genetically modified citizens and an intelligence-based social hierarchy, the novel anticipates huge scientific advancements in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation and classical conditioning that are combined to make a dystopian society which is challenged by only a single individual: the story's protagonist.
When one analyzes Huxley’s writings and then discovers the role of his family on the world stage, it becomes very clear that Huxley’s family played a large role in shaping the philosophical underpinnings of his work. One of the most important people in his intellectual life was his brother, Julian Huxley. Julian was an evolutionary biologist who also worked in the behavioral sciences (developing propaganda programs for large organizations). The term "transhumanism" was coined by Julian Huxley. At one point, he wrote:
"I believe in transhumanism: once there are enough people who can truly say that, the human species will be on the threshold of a new kind of existence, as different from ours as ours is from that of Peking man. It will at last be consciously fulfilling its real destiny." Julian Huxley
But going deeper into the history of Julian Sorrel Huxley (1887-1975), it turns out he was also a devout life-long member of the British Eugenics Society, and served with John Maynard Keynes as secretary and later as its president.
Julian Huxley founded the United Nations body called UNESCO (abbreviated for the United Nations Education, Science and Cultural Organization) in 1946, and he was the first Director General from 1946-1948.
The mandate for the new organization was laid out in Huxley’s 1946 UNESCO charter:

UNESCO: Its Purpose and Its Philosophy

“The moral for UNESCO is clear. The task laid upon it of promoting peace and security can never be wholly realised through the means assigned to it- education, science and culture. It must envisage some form of world political unity, whether through a single world government or otherwise, as the only certain means of avoiding war… in its educational programme it can stress the ultimate need for a world political unity and familiarize all peoples with the implications of the transfer of full sovereignty from separate nations to a world organization.”
Did you catch that? The original charter of UNESCO specifically calls for for a single world government to create peace and security! The charter then goes on to discuss the importance of population control.

The UNESCO, a United Nations NGO, was writing about the new world order in 1946! And these organizational documents were written by none other than Aldous Huxley’s brother!

Aldous Huxley was also the grandson of the prominent biologist Thomas Henry Huxley Thomas Huxley was part of the original eugenics movement in England, and was commonly known as “Darwin’s bulldog.” Aldous Huxleys’ father was the biographer Leonard Huxley, whose writings include books about Darwin, his father (Thomas Huxley) and the eugenics movement. Aldous Huxley’s other brother was biophysicist Andrew Fielding Huxley, who won the Nobel prize for his work focused on nerve fibers and neurology.

Aldous Huxley was also the mentor of George Orwell, the author of the prophetic novel 1984.

So when Aldous Huxley wrote his dystopian science fiction novels and essays, or was interviewed by Mike Wallace, it wasn’t just based on fantasy, it was not just science fiction or a wild guess. His writings and works reflected a detailed understanding of the views and research being conducted by his family and by the intellectuals of the time. His works are a warning, he knew what was and is coming. These ideas from the scientists and leaders of the past have formed the backbone of many current policies. These policies include a one world government, population control, inverted totalitarianism, propaganda, command economy and collectivism. It is all there. The world is following the exact path that Aldous Huxley warned us about. This path is our dystopian future, unless somehow we all step off.

What is surprising is that so many of us have not seen what has been before our very eyes for a very long time. Aldous Huxley ended his interview with Mike Wallace with the idea that one of the few ways we can combat this globalist agenda is through de-centralization. With the advent of computers and centralized data sharing, this can only become more and more difficult to accomplish. But this is the task and the burden that we now must shoulder.

Because let’s not kid ourselves, the new world order is coming, and people are the only thing that are standing in the way of those who want to impose it on all of us.

What you want to do is read a book Technopoly by Neil Postman A very good book critiquing our understanding of technology and its costs on society.

I agree it would be interesting to see how Buddism and Hinduism react. I think Hinduism, especially, may embrace it. Something like this may fit right into their understanding of a manifestation of the "gods".

Maybe Buddhism would embrace it too as you could claim you are reaching a state of unity or nirvana by releasing from your humanity.

I found this article which seems to agree:

From the article:
"Another reason that is cited for the potential success of transhumanist technologies in India is that Indic religions are perceived to generally be more open to the idea of human improvement (through technology) than Western Christianity. Zoltan Istvan (founder of the US Transhumanist Party and candidate for the 2016 US Presidential election on behalf of this party) says, “Many transhuman goals, like trying to overcome human death, go against the grain of Western religions and their sacred texts. But Hinduism, Buddhism, and various other Eastern religions can be conducive for transhumanism and its goals.”

Interesting

If anything I think the masses will reject it as it contradicts with the spiritual, meditation aspects that originated from these religions

Also keep in mind materialism is not as entrenched in these cultures and they actively seek to become distinct from the west

I suppose as with everything, time reveals all
