Billionaires and Cults

I recently watched some videos of Peter Thiel talking about transhumanism and the anti-christ and other "fringe" topics. It makes a ton of sense that rich people are into transhumanism, because death mocks the whole concept of wealth and privilege. It also makes sense that wealthy people are really into "the occult" and secret societies like skull and bones and other similar nonsense all of which is related to the "transhuman" projects because they're all about an "escape" from death.

Think about billionaires of yesteryear, like pharaohs of Egypt. They built elaborate tombs and were surrounded by a bunch of cults and priests that developed funerary rites and guide books of the afterlife basically "to live forever". Nobody today can really imagine some deadass mummy is "alive" or that there is a very particular egpytian spirit world filled with the phantasmagoria their priests came up with while smoking ancient egyptian crack and somehow a pyramid and a room full of their bling setup an apartment in hell. However, some billionaire will listen to a dude like Ray Kurzweil about transhumanism, whose just another version of the same shit and invest in elaborate scammy projects to help move crazy projects forward.

It makes me think the rapid construction of data centers and splooging gazillions into "AI" is more about their cultish beliefs than anything else. It seems entirely plausible that "the wealthy" or ruling class people support an ongoing R&D effort, maybe lasting centuries, that's 20% serious/80% scam. Then there are reactions to that R&D project in entities like the catholic church. They still have "exorcists" and demonologists (you can find videos of priests talking about these subjects at length on youtube).

The concept of "demons", demonic possession and various occult practices seem to all revolve around "the ego's" realization it's alien to the 3D physical reality world, the same way a computer program is alien or in another dimension from the physical computer hardware, really all information is in some separate dimension apart from physical reality though thoroughly attached to it.

Over the years people have come up with various faux operations on "the ego". One concept is a human being can "shed their ego", that is, drop their personal history and become "reborn". I think the overall phenomenon at work in that concept is the personal history is accidental and imposed by others, like parents, the culture, random life experience, etc... and the egomaniacal weirdo wants to be fully self made and "perfect". I think this is also related to the nature of death; the grim reaper is present in the accidental/random nature of experience and circumstances of birth. The egomaniac wants to be free of that.

There's another variation on that theme where the "ego is discarded" and then replaced with a so called "demon". Various secret societies seem to practice this concept. For example some occult jewish groups basically believe in some version of resurrection in this manner, that is, the demon of some dead jew takes up residence in some current day live jew. A prominent example of this is Sabbathi Zevi who beamed down into Leo Frank. Note that this concept is essentially the same idea as being "an officer" of some corporation, which is a faux being.

Unfortunately, the whole population of the west is suckered into these schemes, just like in ancient egypt many generations of average joes spent their life building tombs for dead retard psychos. It's gross. Fuck these people.

Sorry rich bros, you're going to die just like me, a bird, or a bum on the streets. In fact the natural and sometimes rapid death of animals, even when sometimes horrible, seems better in many ways than kicking the bucket in a nursing home or under hospice care or whatever.
