Remember when the Bazingas of the 90s were talking about complete bodily autonomy and the shattering of human gender, sex, and species? Pepperidge farm remembers.
Yeah, me too, at least the tail end. I remember them kicking the openly fash out (The Prometheans, I think) and immediately falling back into fascist thinking.
One of the things that made me step away was how incredibly shocked and averse they were to anything that implied that a non-western culture could wield these technologies.
I especially remember how Michael Anisimov went from "everyone is a Jupiter Brain" to "Socially Conservative uploading" to "I'm an open nazi"
After a century of "Dumb Nietzsche" philosophers they fall for the dumbest of them, a guy so stupid that if he wasn't obfuscating it by name dropping Baudrillard would make Ayn Rand look like an intellectual titan
Oh man, I just saw a post by Big Yud and he literally states that people who heavily disagree with him are either stupid or insane and frankly that's the sort of thing that gets you a bolt of lightning from the gods for hubris
