David by Michelangelo Transhumanism | Saturday – February 7, 2026 I am someone who, for metaphysical purposes, advocates for the complete abolition of the human body, and eventually the complete abolition of humanity, or some part of humanity, and since this post is part of my " Future series ", I recommend that you read more about my thoughts about the future, and this is not the first time that I've brought up this topic in this series, so again go read more about it.     Before I go on about transhumanism, allow me to explain shortly why I believe that the human body must be destroyed. In my view—I happen to take on a traditional and cyclical view of the nature of the world— destruction (Kali in the Hindu tradition) plays a central role in governing the balance of the scales of the celestial order, and as such I hold that the human body is the complete material representation of degeneracy and corruption of the primordial tradition ; really, the human body is the out...

Yahweh in  (יהוה‎) : Moses and the Burning Bush Should you have faith? Friday – February 6, 2026 In my post about " knowledge ", I wrote about knowing as opposed to faith, and if you want to find out more about knowledge, you should read that post and discard this one, and if you will you can always return to this post later.     Should you have faith?

See, modern propaganda, something that I've also covered in the past , works not by attempting to re-direct your attention but rather by overwhelming your attention, to the point where you just give up on the concept of an objective reality all together, this is also relevant in my post " The end of history ". I don't intend on going over things that I've already described in the past, and that's why I keep linking to past posts. But, fear is a very important tool that can completely re-shape reality or the way you and most other people relate to reality, because fear is an emotion that is able to override whatever other faculties you rely on to orient yourself in the world, especially your rational mind, but also to an extent in your supra-rational mind; however, wh...
