Crimes against transhumanity
I haven&#x27;t read the Lena story mentioned in the article, or the text below that point, but I have some idea about where this is all headed.<p>The transphobia we see today in various forms is rooted in the philosophical divide between theism and post-atheism&#x2F;anatheism. Basically, people are divided between believing in religious texts and institutions, or they&#x27;re nonbelievers who&#x27;ve experienced psychedelics or similar altered states through events like near-death experiences and had a personal encounter with the divine. It&#x27;s one thing to believe&#x2F;not believe, and quite another to experience. Basically, neither religion nor science can explain consciousness, and that drives people crazy.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Transtheism" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Transtheism</a><p>The odds of us incarnating in this exact moment at the end of human history are too remote to fathom. In fact, any argument for or against religion quickly ends in absurdism.<p>But so many outrageous things are coming, and soon. Machine learning that surpasses material human ability by 2030 and mental human ability by 2040. The death of the oceans and most of the natural world between 2050 and 2100. The subjugation of all humanity if wealth inequality isn&#x27;t reined in. People living 200 years right now, today, as soon as the first head transplant is successful. Brain cells getting gradually replaced by hardware until consciousness is running entirely on an immortal substrate by 2100 at the latest. Everything is converging towards the Singularity in 2050, and more people than ever have awoken to this eventuality, despite decades of gaslighting.<p>It makes it hard to live and work in the world when deep down we know it&#x27;s ending. Which gets back to theism, because life up till now was about suffering, loss and eventual recycling back into source consciousness&#x2F;heaven. Until we rise above and see the broad view of reincarnation and ourselves as snapshots of the universe&#x2F;God experiencing itself from every possible context. At which point we begin to question things like our situation, our beliefs, our gender, if our mind is us, if our soul&#x2F;higher self is mortal, and if that&#x27;s even separate from God.<p>Transphobia is a backlash against transcendence itself, by people who feel disconnected from love&#x2F;co-creation&#x2F;nirvana. They aren&#x27;t ready for the aliens to arrive. They aren&#x27;t ready for the aliens to be us.
