Do People Become Atheists so They Can Act Immorally?

There are probably some people who do, but largely no, in fact most atheists start out religious because that’s how they were indoctrinated and gradually come to openly oppose religion after conducting analysis. In my own life I have spent nearly a decade making a comparative study of world religions, from the Elder Eddas to the Eleusinian Mysteries, I love the perspective of religion as astro-theology when it comes to judeo-christianity but the same thing applies to many other systems. Many of the earliest metaphysical systems that we might call pagan religions are closer almost to a quantum view of nature, in that they posit that there are “gods in all things” etc.

The problem here is that without morality one must stand on ethics, which is sufficient, but requires Other People to hold a person to a standard. Deity is more effective because it uses the Threat of repercussions after death (about which we have no experience and therefore it is terrifying) or within this own life via an omnipotent and omnipresent mind. We mustn’t forget however that morality is a perspective informed by a set of values which are human, they are not divine, and they are codified by humans. Thus the two approaches are identical! It is just that with the moralistic one there is an injected fear of divine reprisal to sweeten the pot and keep people from doing ill to one another or acting unjustly. But isn’t this also the source of a greater volatility within the morality system? All too often we have evidence of god being used as the justification for bloodshed!

I prefer ethics, without a concept of the divine, governed by a culture (which, as plato reminds us, is a difficult thing to produce and should be our primary concern) a culture which rigorously pursues the concept of justice.

racing towards singularity like monkeys strapped to a rocket sled, all of them whooping and screeching to speed up, OBLIVIOUS to the wall we are about to hit.

genetically tailored children, cyberization, transhumanism, AI, artilects, organic chimeras.

we are in a desperate race toward oblivion and everyone is leaning on the accelerator. everyone thinks this is a very good thing and it is, in fact, our doom. as dangerous as the internecine conflict wrought by tyranny and religion but far more complete and utterly devastating.

what we are witnessing is not a migration to a new kind of humanity, we are witnessing the end of humanity itself. a very peculiar occurrence in my view, because, as a student of human history, I would argue that never in the history of our species has the species, as a species, really possessed humanity to being with.

how typically human of us to destroy the opportunity for something precious in the pursuit of something fantastic. eschaton, singularity and any other term is essentially the same as apocalypse.

What and who you are now is irrelevant, you are an atavism and all of humanity hitherto is an ape and laughing stock: this is the view handed to us by the insanity of modernism. This not futurism, this is not a preservation of humanity and a movement forward from a technical standpoint, it is the deliberate destruction of humanity and a sacrificing of it to technology. The very scientists who repudiate metaphysics and its systems are themselves ushering in a sort of paganism and blood offering that will encompass and ultimately consume the entire species. like Mayan priests they are sacrificing the children of man on the altar of their own arrogance to an uncertain future, a future so uncertain that we can only refer to it as singularity.

all of our machinations thus far have wrought error, chaos and suffering. yet we are so blinded by our desire to live that we negate the totality of our experience and pronounce this miserable ease as holy!

so arrogant are we that the elite among us, now as ever in our history, seek total domination on an unprecedented level. so completely and mindbogglingly arrogant are we that despite our poisoning of everything around us, we seek to move forward and tamper with even more fundamental aspects of our existence and our world; verily, we even seek to reshape mankind himself via our oh-so perfect understanding.

we do not even understand our origins and yet we seek to reshape our very selves! children starve and go uneducated, we murder each other and enslave each other and yet we want to give birth to artilects and to cyberize the human body! we want to push off from ourselves again and again as if somehow by running from ourselves we could overcome our failings, when all along we had the power to overcome those failings without technology.

it is as though the more we advance technologically the more we regress as a species to a sort of blind and uncaring animal, as brutal and stupid as any wild creature especially toward ourselves but also towards others. but it is a new brutality, a perfect and utterly human brutality and this aspect of our humanity, in my view, shall be the only thing which survives once we have wiped the slate clean.

we are more complex than we know, but we mistakenly assert things like “our genetic code is a complete representation of us” or “our dna is a digital code for human life” when, in fact, it is merely one piece of a much larger puzzle. Yet we are so confident, as we have always been confident, that we possessed the complete picture, that we boldly press forward at our own peril. This is how we ruined the earth and it is how we will ruin organic life itself.

Because we were arrogant enough to stand on our proofs as convictions, because we were bad scientists and fell into the trap of Belief!

racing toward self destruction, miserable, over-worked, while the earth sours and the skies darken, toiling ceaselessly at our own demise, neglecting our origin, neglecting the true promise of technology, neglecting each other. Unaware of what we are, never the less producing a new type, like every parent that came before us – inexorably reproducing ourselves out of existence.

when if we had only slowed down, if we had only stopped and stood still we could have gathered the missing data for our iterative set theory of value!

I find myself wanting to conquer the world, I want to crush the modern world, the religious and the technological! I want to hit the reset button on you humanity: BECAUSE YOU HAVEN’T LEARNED A FUCKING THING.

Once you get rid of the body there is no we anymore, there is no human anymore, there is only intellect as anti-nature. this is a will to self destruction codified as a technical solution to a nonexistent problem. our inability to excel at computation isn’t the problem, the problem is we don;t take care of the humans who are born nor see to their education.

rather than change this paradigm however we will go trans and post human because its easier, and you can buy a cyberbrain online by writing a check, you don’t have to get your hands dirty.

one can only hope that when the artilects do take over our civilization they will be more humane than we have been.

madness is the order of our day, as it was the order of our ancestors day, it is only a more complex form of madness it is no less insane.

what is the single unifying principle of this entire post humanist movement? is it the desire to explore space? no, for that is possible without it. Is it utopia? no, for that too is possible without it. is it the total transformation of the human being into another form? no, for that is essentially the destruction of the human form and a type of non-human or even anti-human existence.

the single codifying principle is FEAR, fear of death.

What?

Could it be that these people are nothing more than Cowards? But that is precisely my claim and they are not just cowards they are naive, and they are not just naive they are bad students of history, and they are not just bad students of history they are arrogant douche bags more interested in some selfish preoccupation than in the future of the species.

In fact if we had our eyes to see it, already we have gone too far, already monsters run the world. Already murder and mass murder have become to us acceptable and permissible, even a thousand years ago this was true, for not only these people are cowards, but all of us are cowards.

Shall I tell you the truth then?

They are afraid to die and we are afraid to live, we are afraid to die for life and they are afraid to live knowing that they must die. The great piece of idiocy in all of this is, of course, is that in becoming non-human they will actually have died. In what they consider a migration or elevation out and beyond humanity to a higher form is in reality a truncation and crippling of the form.

Predictive Programming

for a long time this was dismissed and chided as conspiracy theory. and now you have people asking “what with this economic crisis (which imo is completely engineered, its not as if all the pigs died or we suddenly forgot how to make steel) maybe its a good idea for us to have some kind of north american currency! after all, we need a solution to this problem the people seem to be reacting to!”

and i know why the majority of the electorate is blind to it all, and so do you, dont you my friends? you know, only all too well perhaps, just how and why they remain ignorant, even willfully ignorant of the entire phenomenology of global corporatism which has supplanted all cultures and governments. they are complicit and those who are not complicit have been harassed from the day of their birth by junk information and a poisoned world, the MSG, aspartame, heavy metals and fluoride; the endless propaganda and the puppy mill educational system that wants obedient workers and not free spirits.

and you know also that it is up to you, to reject all of this negativity and unhealthy madness and to forge from the crucible of your own heart a future for the species. it is up to You. And where many might throw up their hands at the calamity and insurmountable tasks that thwart our satisfaction, I take solace in you.

I am credulous about the destiny of the human species and I believe more than i can ever prove about the fate of mankind.

Don’t you see?

We were “born to chaos as the sparks flew upwards”, this fire into which we have been born is the very means by which we shall be tempered. What shall come of all this is not what any suspects, not those who stoked the fire, nor those who laid the kindling.

The global elite is destroying itself because it hates itself, the transhumanists are destroying themselves for they hate life and fear death, business is destroying the earth because it hates itself and wants to choke off its very preconditional framework.

And what is all of this? Mankind is pregnant with the future, but it is not a future that any of those who think they are in Control foresee. Control is an illusion, no one is more confused than the one who thinks he is in control. If you want to know what is being born simply invert everything which has occurred and is occurring, this will give you an inkling of what is being produced here.

A will to self deception has been the antecedent, the prerequisite for every major advancement, the greatest strategy of organic life here plays itself out in spectacular fashion: the cleverest way to deceive ones opponent is to embed a piece of self deception into the projection.

but what here is being opposed?

You can find many case histories which mirror those of the german people circa 1930.

For it is not the authenticity of the claims made by the article, nor the validity of its assertions which should pique your curiosity, no, it is the lingering probability and available references from the near historical record of programs like rex 84. We imprisoned Japanese citizens in internment camps during WW2, did that magically not happen? We run a private, for profit prison industrial complex in this country so vast that it dwarfs the prison populations of other western countries, is that not happening?

One commenter even said “break out the tin foil hats”, is that what has become of reasoned debate in this country? A sort of high school popularity contest but for ideas? Detractors often do no critical analysis and yet are quite confident that there is nothing to be worried about. And I am not speaking of just people who thumbed this shit down on SU, my analysis here I am applying in the widest possible context to the entirety of the american electorate.

I see in the countenances of those who throw around epithets at issues like this a sort of self-deception and complete rejection of history. These are not just bad students of human history, they truly are the bedrock of tyranny, for tyranny cannot ever come to fruition amongst a vigilant populace.

What, in the last analysis makes us human? I have heard some people call it choice, but I must admit I have no belief in a so-called free will which chooses. To me control is an illusion and identity is a maze of infinite complexity.

i think the best architect is also the one who realizes control is an illusion and that the variable you didn’t account for is the one thing you can count on. live dangerously my friend.

Stop Rearranging Deck Chairs on the Titanic and Nationalize the Damn Banks

We haven’t nationalized the banks, what we have done is to allow a private group of bankers to recapitalize failed (deliberately engineered to fail) institutions built on flawed (deliberately flawed) instruments via the treasury.

So in other words, its the same scam taken to a new level. Instead of the fed merely usurping congress’ power to create money, issuing the government its money at interest in a never ending cycle of debt expansion, they have succeeded in performing an end run (by scaring the shit out of weak kneed congressional reps) on the entire system of governmental finance.

Would that we had nationalized the fed or these banks, would that the congress reasserted its power over money, but no. No, we instead have entered an era of inevitable hyperinflationary practice at the end of which our nation shall be a threadbare mockery of what so many have died to defend.

So years of study has led me to one final conclusion about economic theory: it is all fucking make believe.

There is only production, the rest is a contrivance as fickle and as feeble as the dreams of youth. Yep, its all completely made up, the value of everything is completely subjective. The only thing that matters is production, the res tis capital it is either property or it is “that which has been produced and retains a subjective value”.

But whence come all those values?

From here on out every human being to me is sacred. It is my sworn duty to kill and to destroy every society which does not have a vested interest in every human being born. Any society that would throw away even one human being is an atavism and laughing stock to me.

Any economic theory which does not result in maximizing the potential of the human beings alive during a given interval is a contrivance more absurd than is organized religion and it seems very much like a religion to me.

It is as if, people had never Practiced science and only read about it being practiced.

Any practicing researcher knows one thing above all else about statistics and proofs: they are perspectives. Indeed the term proof is somewhat misleading, because what proof means is something other than what people think it means. Inconceivable! A proof is a step upon which to place one’s foot, empirical data is limited, every proof is merely a description of what is valid within a context and that context is always limited. What people forget is that it is contextual, that it doesn’t prove anything other than that which it states within a given context and that it is ultimately (and this is absolutely key) true until proved otherwise!

eal scientists approach statistical data critically and almost skeptically. Real scientists understand that the complexity of existence always maligns the very process of data generation! This is why it is imperative to design experiments with such meticulous precision, so as to rule out junk data skewing the results!

But look at how the masses clamor for all manner of data, poor, bedraggled and huddled together statistics, as if somehow the mere act of assembling information constituted a proof!

Foreclosed On? Congresswoman Says: Stay and Fight

I think what is essential to remember at a time like this is that the Real economy consists of people, actual human beings and sustaining their existence. The rest is largely subjective, concepts like debt and equity pale in comparison to the viscera of existence; moreover, subsistence takes on societal validation because the fabric of our civilization is made of such integers. At a time like this we need to be able to stop foreclosures on individual residences and businesses, we need to be able to level the field because the entire economic crisis is set in motion by money managers who have abstracted the real economy into a synthetic model thereof and via that model have produced the chaos we are experiencing. What is required right now is Leadership. Leadership which is brave enough to crush the ontological validation of synthetic systems projected by institutions like the IMF and World Bank, which has the courage to crush any system which gets in the way of sustaining life and the American system.

We cannot afford to let America crumble as she has been for decades any longer, we cannot afford to allow other nations to crumble or to languish as they have been and the answer is not free trade nor is it globalization. The fundamental problem is the business culture which dominates the world. The profit motive runs our global economy, the structure of that concept of profit is non-substantial ultimately and so we are in the curious situation of being subjected to imaginary crises like the one that is currently underway. Profit must be understood in terms of human life, it must be conscripted and put in service of this principle. As it stands right now profit is still an abstracted and synthetic modality, carefully crafted by rich elites who seek ever more capital and thus ever more control, but to no end which sustains life, merely to that end which sustains perhaps their own life but more certainly their own comfort and enjoyment.

For nearly a century now we have held the means in our hand to produce a civilization on this planet which frees all those born of their fundamental necessities for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But this great promise of technology has been choked and squelched by a tiny fraction of the world’s population and made to serve ends not consistent with this obvious goal. And now we see them corrupting the concept again, promising a utopia via the model of a World Order, be it political, industrial, scientific or economic. But this is in reality simply another schema of control designed not around human life itself but around synthetic ideals, not an emergent system which embraces life, but, much like our current economy in America, around centralized and fractured concepts of profit and equity.

This engineered global economic crisis is a dangerous fucking game that we are all being made to play, well I say to you humans of earth, we must leap, we must leap over the walls and over the institutions that contain us and we must smash the dice and the hand of the architect. We must claim this world as our own and we must unite against this World Order; we must substitute our own, an Alliance of all for the benefit of all whose solemn obligation is to human life itself and not, as our ancestors have done, to some ideological profit concept.

Stand where you are and fight, and when you see you neighbors being harassed by a dead and dying model of existence, stand with them – and he who stands with me today shall be my brother.

Special Prosecutor for Bush War Crimes

Hope is the last thing in Pandora’s box for a reason, it is the final “fuck you” from the gods to a species that stole fire. Well, im no Luciferian, im no occultist and im no metaphysician, but I am a rabid pyromaniac.

According to available evidence and testimonies we already have a strong case for intent to go into Iraq before 9-11, we have abundant evidence which clearly shows a deliberate attempt to deceive the world about Iraq and its link to 9-11. The prima facie principles were deliberately falsified and the cost to the American people as well as the Iraqi people in blood and treasure demands action. If we fail to act we will stand convicted in the annals of history for our apathy.

Whether it is the number of civilian casualties that have already occurred or the long term effects of DU on the human population of Iraq, we have decimated and poisoned the fertile crescent. You stand in a unique position to redress these insolent abuses of humanity and to expunge the record of our Country in the annals of history, failure to act will constitute a posture of acceptance by qualification of a no contest treatment of those responsible. If we do not prosecute those who are most responsible, it is We the People who must accept responsibility and it is not our fault, we were deceived.

I have stated a mere microcosm of reasoning for such prosecution, there is obviously a great deal more which must necessarily form the basis for such prosecution as the signators require.
