This weekend at Dark Markets, supporters got a sneak peek at the core argument of my forthcoming book on #SBF: "Techno-Rationalism and the Denial of Death." https://tinyurl.com/54mrkj2n The Utopian #tescreal axis is deeply motivated, in ways that most adherents can't recognize, by an anxious desire to resurrect tribalist mysticism, the afterlife, and a transcendental eschatology. But they lack the imagination and strength to face the infinity of God. So they remake God as merely a robot - an artificial intelligence, the product of man's own imputed Godhood, achieved through rationality and technology. This began with Ray Kurzweil, who was more self-aware about his motives than most who came after: He wanted to resurrect his father. 1/3
